Do I need to be home for a curbside pickup?

No, and most people are not. As long as the items are accessible and we have a photograph confirming what is going, the crew collects and leaves.

What if my neighbor adds something to the pile?

We load what was in your photograph. Anything that appears afterwards stays where it is unless you tell us otherwise before the crew arrives.

Can you collect from an alley instead of the street?

Yes, and in Fairmount, Ryan Place and much of the near south side the alley is genuinely the easier approach. Mention it when you book.

Is curbside cheaper than an in-house collection?

For the same items, generally yes, because labor is one of the inputs into the quote and a curbside load involves far less of it.

What if it rains before you get there?

We still take it. Wet furniture is heavier and messier but it is not a refusal. Covering a pile if bad weather is forecast is worth doing for your own sake more than ours.

Why curbside is the cheapest way to do this

Pricing is driven by volume, weight and labor. Curbside removes most of the labor: no stairs, no carrying through a house, no protecting door frames, no navigating a hallway with a sectional.

So the same sofa costs less collected from a curb than carried down from a second-floor bedroom, and that is not a trick — it genuinely is a smaller job.

If you can get things outside, and it is safe and legal to leave them there, curbside is the version to book.

How curbside works

1
Put it out
Curb, driveway, alley or garage apron. Somewhere a truck can reach and reasonably reach from.
2
Photograph the pile
One clear photo. This is what confirms which items are yours and what the quote covers.
3
Book a window
Choose a slot. You do not need to be there for it.
4
It is gone
The crew loads exactly what was in the photo and sweeps the spot.

The one thing that goes wrong, and how to avoid it

The only recurring problem with unattended curbside pickups is ambiguity: a neighbor adds to the pile overnight, or half of what is out there was never meant to go.

The photograph solves it. What is in the picture is what gets loaded. If something has appeared next to it that is not yours, we leave it — and if you want it taken as well, a quick message before the crew arrives is enough.

The photo defines the job
Anything added after is not loaded by default
Keep the pile off the sidewalk and clear of the road
Alley pickups work well in the older near-south streets
