A public resource guide
Dressers, chests of drawers, armoires, and nightstands. Solid wood pieces are the easiest furniture to give away; particleboard pieces are the hardest. The material decides the route.
Last updated: October 2026 · Maintained by Freemoval as a public resource
A dresser is the furniture piece most often abandoned at a move-out, and the reason is weight versus value. A solid wood six-drawer dresser weighs 150 to 250 pounds and holds its value; a particleboard flat-pack dresser weighs 80 to 120 pounds, loses structural integrity the first time it is moved, and is refused by most donation programs. Nearly every city bulk program accepts dressers, donation pickups take solid wood pieces, and free listings move anything with drawers that slide. This guide sorts the options by what your dresser is made of.

Donation programs have tightened furniture standards. Most now refuse particleboard and laminate pieces, anything with a missing drawer or broken runner, and anything with water damage or odor. That eliminates a large share of the dressers people try to donate, which is why so many end up at the curb.
Weight is the second issue. A solid wood dresser with drawers in place is a two-person carry and will not fit most cars. Removing the drawers (which also makes it safer on stairs) cuts the weight by a third, and the drawers themselves nest in a car trunk.
Mirrors attached to dressers are a separate problem for bulk pickup. Many programs require mirrors to be removed and either taped in an X pattern, boxed, or set out separately with the glass marked.
Dressers are among the easiest furniture to dispose of free. Start with donation if it is solid wood, and bulk pickup if it is not.
Donation pickup for solid wood pieces
FreeHabitat ReStores, The Salvation Army, St. Vincent de Paul, Goodwill (drop-off), and local furniture banks accept solid wood dressers, chests, and armoires in good condition and most offer pickup. Furniture banks in particular prioritize dressers because families moving out of shelters rarely have storage furniture.
Standards: all drawers present and sliding, no water rings or peeling veneer, no pet odor, hardware attached. Photos are usually required when scheduling.
Mirrors: most programs take the dresser without the mirror; ask.
Free listings and Buy Nothing groups
FreeDressers are one of the fastest-moving free items on Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist, Nextdoor, and Buy Nothing groups. Even particleboard dressers with cosmetic damage get claimed within a day in most metros because the taker provides the labor.
Post with drawers in and a photo of the back so takers can judge sturdiness.
Curb alert listings ('free dresser at the curb, address') move pieces in hours and avoid scheduling.
City bulk pickup
Free in most citiesVirtually every bulk program accepts dressers as a standard furniture item. Most count a dresser as one item regardless of size; some count attached mirrors separately or require them to be removed and taped. Check set-out limits if you have more than two or three pieces.
Remove drawers for safety only if your program allows multiple pieces; some require the piece intact so it counts as one item.
Particleboard dressers can be broken down flat with a hammer if your program has a size limit or you are out of item allowance.
Paid options are for buildings with no bulk service, multi-piece bedroom sets, or a dresser on a third floor with nobody to carry it.
Self-haul to a transfer station
$10 to $30Drawers out, a dresser fits in most SUVs or a pickup. Transfer stations accept furniture by load or weight. Solid wood dressers can also go to a wood recycler in some regions.
Break down particleboard to cut the volume and the fee.
LoadUp paid pickup
$80+For households not eligible for free programs, or who need a dresser gone this week, LoadUp connects you with independent loaders in cities across all 50 states. Upfront pricing, same-week scheduling, in-home pickup from any floor, and licensed disposal or recycling handled for you.
What’s included: Loading, hauling, and disposal. No prep needed beyond pointing out what goes.
Pricing: Starts around $80 for a single item; full-truck pickups range from $300 to $600 depending on volume.
If you can pay for a pickup, your booking helps fund free pickups for someone else. Every paid LoadUp customer can opt in to round up at checkout, and 100% of round-ups go directly to Freemoval’s subsidized jobs.

Dressers are accepted by nearly every bulk program; the variables are item limits, mirror handling, and set-out timing. Tap a city for its rule. Each city link opens a dedicated free dresser removal guide for that city, built from the same researched city data.

Can I put a dresser out for bulk pickup?
Yes in almost every city with a bulk program. Dressers are standard furniture. Confirm item limits and mirror rules in the directory below.
Will Goodwill or Salvation Army take a particleboard dresser?
Rarely. Most donation programs refuse particleboard, laminate, and flat-pack furniture because it does not survive transport and resale. Solid wood pieces in good condition are accepted.
How heavy is a dresser?
A solid wood six-drawer dresser weighs 150 to 250 pounds; a tall chest 100 to 180; a particleboard dresser 80 to 120. Removing the drawers cuts the carry weight by about a third.
How do I break down a particleboard dresser?
Remove the drawers, back the screws out of the cam locks or pry the panels apart, and knock the back panel off. The flat panels bundle for bulk pickup or fit in a car for a transfer station.
What do I do with the mirror?
Remove it from the dresser. For bulk pickup, tape it in an X pattern and mark it 'glass,' or box it. Many programs will not take an unprotected mirror. Intact mirrors are also easy to give away.
Can I donate a dresser with one broken drawer slide?
Usually not; programs need every drawer working. Drawer slides are a cheap repair, and a working dresser is far more useful to a furniture bank than a broken one is to anyone.
What does LoadUp charge to remove a dresser?
A single dresser prices at the single-item minimum, around $80 to $100 in most metros, with in-home pickup from any floor included in the upfront quote. Bedroom sets price by volume. Independent loaders on the LoadUp marketplace donate usable pieces when they can.
