Furniture removal in Fort Lauderdale, from high-rise units to the back bedroom

01

If you live in a Fort Lauderdale condo or apartment

Here is the part most renters and condo owners do not know. The City of Fort Lauderdale's bulk pickup is for houses on city service. The city says apartments, condos and commercial properties must contract directly with their own hauler. That hauler empties the building's dumpsters. It does not come up to the 14th floor for your sectional.

So in a building, an old sofa is your problem: you drag it down yourself, or you call someone who carries it out. Leaving it in the trash room just hands it to the building staff. Dany's crew comes up the service elevator, pads what needs padding, takes the piece apart if it will not fit, and leaves nothing behind for the staff.

Downtown around Las Olas Boulevard is high-rise condos and new hotels, and those buildings tend to have move rules. Book the elevator, check the hours, and tell Dany when you text. If the front desk asks for proof of insurance, Rapid Haul carries $1M general liability.

Houses on the city's monthly bulk route

If your house is on city service, WM takes bulk once a month on your service day. Furniture has to be at the curb by 7 a.m. that day, cannot go out more than 24 hours early and cannot stay out more than 24 hours after pickup, or the city may cite you.

That is fine when you know a month ahead. It is not fine when the new bedroom set arrives Thursday and pickup is three weeks out, or when a summer storm soaks a mattress waiting on the swale. Rapid Haul carries the old piece out of the room and off the property, and the new one goes straight in.

Glass tops, mirrors and pieces that come apart

Fort Lauderdale wants loose glass in a sturdy, rigid container before it goes to the curb, which is awkward for a glass dining table, a curio cabinet or a dresser mirror. The crew handles those as they are and loads them so nothing breaks in your hallway.

Big pieces that came in assembled usually go out the same way. Ones that were built in the room, like some platform beds, wall units and sleeper sofas in tight stairwells, get taken apart and carried out in sections. Send a photo of the piece and the path out so the price already includes it.

Furniture Dany picks up most

Calls in Fort Lauderdale come from tenants moving out, owners redoing a unit, families clearing a parent's place and landlords after a turnover. The list is usually some mix of:

• Sofas, sectionals, sleeper sofas and recliners
• Mattresses, box springs, bed frames and headboards
• Dressers, armoires, nightstands and wardrobes
• Dining tables, chairs, desks and bookcases
• Patio sets and lounge chairs from a balcony or pool deck

What furniture removal costs in Fort Lauderdale

Furniture removal starts at $125 for a single piece from an easy spot. More pieces, heavier pieces and harder carries cost more: a recliner from a ground-floor living room is quick, a solid wood armoire from a walk-up is not. Add the boxes, the old TV and the fridge to the same photo and Dany prices it all as one flat number, covering labor, loading, hauling and disposal.

You pay after the job. Rapid Haul is based in Hollywood, just south of the city line, so same-day is often possible when you call early. Text (754) 249-1015, Monday to Saturday, 7 AM to 7 PM. Dany reads it and answers himself.
