Chair removal cost
$25 – $60
A single chair is $25 to $60, but most people add chairs to a larger pickup to get past the minimum charge and save money.
What affects the price
- Minimum charge. One chair sits well below most pickup minimums, so on its own you pay the minimum, not the item price.
- Type. Recliners hide a steel mechanism and weigh far more than a dining chair.
- Combining. Chairs slot into gaps in the truck, so adding them to a bigger load costs very little.
Why one chair costs the minimum
A single chair sits well below most haulers' minimum charge, so on its own you pay that minimum rather than the $25 to $60 item price. The cheap way to move a chair is to add it to a larger pickup, where it slots into gaps in the truck and costs very little extra.
Recliners and office chairs
A recliner hides a steel reclining mechanism that makes it far heavier than a dining chair, which is why it is priced closer to a small sofa. An office chair is lighter but has a gas-lift cylinder and plastic parts, so it is usually landfilled rather than recycled.
Free ways to get rid of a chair
A clean, sturdy chair is easy to donate, and some charities will collect it with other furniture at no cost. Many cities also include chairs in a free bulky-item curbside pickup. A paid haul is really for broken or soiled chairs that cannot be given away.

How much does chair removal cost?
About $25 to $60 for a single chair, but on its own it usually falls under the pickup minimum, so adding it to a larger load is the cheaper way to go. Recliners cost more because of their steel frame.
Can I get rid of a chair for free?
Often, yes. A usable chair can be donated, sometimes with free charity pickup, and many cities collect chairs in a free bulky-item curbside pickup.
How is chair removal priced?
Haulers charge by how much room the item takes in the truck, not by the hour, so combining it with other junk in one pickup lowers the cost per item. Leaving it at the curb is often about 25 percent cheaper than an in-home carry-out.
