Donation pickup in Orlando (usable patio furniture)

Free

Orlando’s donation programs accept items in good usable condition: clean upholstered furniture without significant tears or stains, working appliances less than 10 years old, mattresses in good condition (subject to program-specific rules), kitchenware, lamps, and most household goods.

Items typically not accepted: damaged or stained furniture, mattresses with bedbug history or significant wear, appliances that don’t work, particle-board furniture in poor condition, cribs (federal safety regulations have changed), and exercise equipment that requires reassembly. Always call before scheduling if you’re unsure, pickups that find unacceptable items will leave them behind.

How it works where it operates: One free pickup per household, covering patio furniture, furniture, appliances, and bulk household items within standard LoadUp marketplace service. Funded by LoadUp customer round-ups and direct contributions, spent at standard LoadUp rates.

How Orlando handles patio furniture

Orlando residents have one of the most generous bulk pickup schedules in the country: large items get collected weekly on the same day as garbage. Furniture, mattresses, appliances, TVs, and up to 4 passenger car tires are all accepted. This page walks through every disposal option in order from free to paid.

The Orlando rule for patio furniture: Patio sets go out on yard waste day. Tape glass tops.

Program basics: No published item cap for ordinary household large items; crews collect what two people can hand-load. Tires are limited to 4 car tires per household per year. At the curb the evening before or by 7 a.m. on your yard waste day. Refrigerator and freezer doors must be removed before set-out.

What the city will not take: Household hazardous waste, auto parts, construction debris, and truck tires. Electronics go to Orange County's drop-off sites.

How we checked this. The rules on this page were verified in October 2026 against: City of Orlando Public Works: Solid Waste Division (large item collection), City of Orlando: Solid Waste services included in residential rates. Programs change; confirm fees and limits before you go.

Why patio furniture are different from ordinary bulk. Patio sets accumulate damage that donation programs will not accept: rust on steel, fading and brittleness on plastic, unraveling resin wicker, and mildew on cushions. Intact aluminum and teak sets in good condition donate easily; everything else goes to scrap or bulk.

Prep checklist before pickup day in Orlando

  • Hose off and dry anything you plan to donate or list.
  • Separate metal frames (magnet test for aluminum vs steel) for scrap pickup.
  • Remove glass tabletops; tape in a grid and mark as glass, or box.
  • Unscrew umbrella poles into sections and empty sand from the base.
  • Stack and tie chairs, bag cushions, and set out on the scheduled bulk day.

Three mistakes that get patio furniture left at the curb:

  • Don't put a glass tabletop out unprotected. Remove it, tape it in a grid, mark it as glass, or box it.
  • Don't set out a full umbrella. Unscrew the pole into sections to meet length limits and close the canopy.
  • Don't scrap a teak or cast aluminum set. Both resell even weathered.

Paid options are for a full set with nowhere to stage it, a condo with no bulk service, or heavy cast pieces nobody will carry.

Self-haul to a transfer station

$10 to $30

Plastic and resin pieces stack into a pickup or trailer. Transfer stations charge by load. Take the metal to a scrap yard separately where it is free or pays.

Break resin wicker frames down to reduce the volume charge.

Common questions about patio furniture removal in Orlando

Does Orlando pick up patio furniture for free?

Yes, on your yard waste day.

Where can I donate patio furniture in Orlando?

Orlando’s donation programs accept items in good usable condition: clean upholstered furniture without significant tears or stains, working appliances less than 10 years old, mattresses in good condition (subject to program-specific rules), kitchenware, lamps, and most household goods.

How much does paid patio furniture removal cost in Orlando?

Through the LoadUp marketplace, a single patio furniture pickup in Orlando starts around $80 to $100 with upfront pricing, and full-truck loads run $300 to $600 depending on volume. For households who need same-week service or live in apartments/condos not covered by city service, LoadUp offers professional removal in Orlando with upfront pricing. Independent loaders in the marketplace handle pickup, loading, and licensed disposal.

Can patio furniture go out with bulk trash?

Yes in nearly every city with a bulk program. Remove glass tabletops and protect them, break down umbrellas, and stack chairs. Metal pieces can go to scrap instead.

Is aluminum patio furniture worth anything as scrap?

Yes. Aluminum pays several times the per-pound rate of steel, and a full aluminum set weighs 60 to 120 pounds. Many people get $20 to $60 at a yard, or simply give it to a scrapper who picks it up free.

What do I do with a glass patio tabletop?

Remove it from the frame. For bulk pickup, tape the surface in a grid, mark it 'glass,' and lean it securely, or box it. Intact tempered glass tops are also easy to give away because replacements cost $100 or more.

Can I donate weathered patio furniture?

Donation programs want pieces without rust, brittleness, or mildew. Weathered teak and cast aluminum are accepted and resold; faded plastic and frayed resin wicker usually are not. Free listings are more forgiving.

Is this Orlando page maintained?

Yes. Freemoval maintains this page as a public resource alongside the full Orlando guide. We update it when programs change rules, fees, or contact methods. Last updated October 2026. If you find outdated information, let us know.
