The sofa that will not make the turn on the stairs, the mattress from the spare room, the refrigerator in the carport that quit: the everyday jobs across the Jackson metro. Two people, a truck, carried out from wherever it sits, hauled the same day when the schedule allows.
Anything with refrigerant has the coolant recovered before it is scrapped, working pieces go to a donation partner that will take them, the metal is recycled, and the number is settled before the first piece is lifted.

Furniture pickup from Belhaven to Brandon
Furniture pickups in Jackson split along the same line as the housing. The older streets of Belhaven, Fondren, Eastover and Woodland Hills have solid wood dressers, sleeper sofas and upright pianos that were carried in decades ago and have not moved since. Getting them out means narrow halls, turns on the stairs and doors that were hung before anyone owned a sectional. The crew brings floor covering, door protection and a dolly rated for the weight, and quotes the carry as part of the job rather than as a surprise on the invoice.
The apartment and rental turnover around UMMC, Jackson State and Millsaps is the other half of the work, and it runs on the academic calendar: May and late July are the busy weeks, with mattresses, futons and mini fridges leaving second-floor walk-ups by the dozen. Landlords and property managers get the same photo quote as a homeowner, and a unit can usually be cleared the same day the tenant hands in the key.
Appliances get a second look before they leave. The city collects appliances and tires at the curb on Wednesdays if they are out before 7am, which is worth knowing if the fridge can wait and you can get it to the road. Anything with refrigerant still in it has the coolant recovered before it is scrapped, working washers and dryers go to donation partners that will take them, and the metal in the rest is recycled rather than buried.
Furniture and Appliance Removal pricing in Jackson
One piece is the smallest job on the price list: a mattress and box spring runs about $100 to $175, a couch or sectional $125 to $250, a refrigerator or freezer $125 to $200 and a washer, dryer or water heater $100 to $175. Those figures include the carry-out, the truck and the disposal or donation run. A piano is its own line, $250 to $500, because of the weight and the number of people it takes.
Two or three pieces together usually land in the quarter-truck range, $225 to $325, which is cheaper per item than booking them one at a time. What moves the price up: a third-floor walk-up with no elevator, a piece that has to be disassembled to fit through the door, a same-day request on a weekend. What moves it down: everything staged in the carport or driveway so the crew loads and goes.

Furniture and Appliance Removal questions, answered
What is the minimum charge for junk removal in Jackson?
The minimum is a single-item pickup, about $99 to $175 depending on what the item is and where it sits. That covers two people, the carry-out, the truck and the disposal fee. A mattress from a ground-floor bedroom is at the bottom of that range; a sleeper sofa from a third-floor apartment is at the top. There is no separate trip charge inside the metro.
What does the $99 minimum actually cover?
Honest answer: $99 is the floor of the single-item range, not a flat price for any pickup. It buys one small item, on a weekday, with easy access, and labor, hauling and the dump fee are inside it. A heavier piece, stairs, a tight carry or a weekend slot push the same job toward $175. Anything more than one item is priced by how much of the truck it fills.
Will the city of Jackson pick up my old refrigerator?
The city's solid waste division collects appliances and tires at the curb on Wednesdays, and the appliance has to be at the roadside before 7am. If you can get it to the curb and can wait for the next Wednesday, that route is free. If it is in the kitchen, the garage or upstairs, or you need it gone before then, a crew carries it out, recovers the refrigerant and hauls it for $125 to $200.
How much is mattress removal in Jackson?
A mattress and box spring runs about $100 to $175, carried out from any floor and hauled the same day where the schedule allows. Around move-out weeks near the colleges, a mattress booked with a couch or a dresser often lands in the quarter-truck range of $225 to $325, which is cheaper per piece.
