How to prepare for a NYC furniture pickup
Measure hallways, confirm service elevator windows, separate items that may be donated, remove personal belongings from drawers and send photos so dispatch can size the load before arrival.
Donation, recycling and disposal sorting
Reusable furniture, scrap metal, appliances and e-waste may need separate handling. Label what should stay, what can be donated and what must be hauled away.
COI, doorman and service entrance rules
Managed NYC buildings often require insurance documents, freight elevator timing and service entrance instructions. Confirm those requirements before the pickup window.
When specialty cleanouts need more planning
Hoarder cleanout support, estate cleanouts, landlord turnovers, light demolition debris and office cleanouts should include photos, item lists, access notes and any building restrictions.
