Went out of their way to make sure they got rerouted to get my second delivery job of taking my old furniture out after delivering my new couch. This saved me a lot of time. Also went above and beyond with getting goodwill to accept everything. Thanks, guys! - Peter
Was pleased with the speed which the van arrived to transport a couch from Costco. Was given a detailed description of the rules about the weight of the object to be moved. I think your website app needs to be better at listing that there is a weight limit. I did not see anything that asked me to list the weight. Ultimately the guys decided they would go ahead and move the "over weight" couch. I also did not see on the app a way to book the removal of the old sofa when the new one was delivered. So another improvement to your website would be welcome. The guys did a good job getting the old sofa out and the new one in. It was a difficult process and I really appreciated their efforts. My husband also helped some to maneuver the bulky 270 lb couch into the house as well. They were very pleasant, especially Ronald. - Monica
Both Ben and Justin were super patient with moving a really big and bulky item up stairs and trying different methods to get them in our guest room. The couch was extremely heavy and they didn’t give up. I appreciate how they worked together to make it happen. - Virginia
Jose and Ramon were great. They arrived on time and they were both very efficient, professional and helpful. One of the items was tall and bulky and needed to be partly disassembled to fit through a doorway and they took it apart and reassembled it with care. Much appreciated and highly recommended!! José y Ramón son geniales. Ambos fueron muy eficientes, profesionales y serviciales. Un artículo era alto y voluminoso y necesitaba ser desmontado para pasar por una puerta. Lo desmontaron y lo volvieron a montar con cuidado. ¡¡Muy apreciado y muy recomendado!! - Celeste
Daniel & Samuel were easy to work with and very fast! we needed help unloading a uhaul and a POD and they did a fantastic job getting everything where it needed to go in the house, handling fragile things, and taking bulky stuff upstairs for us. 10/10 would have them move our stuff again! - Julie
Very polite and careful movers. They helped us move a bulky coffee table and display cabinet down a flight of stairs to the garage. We will definitely use again in the future. - Heather
They did a great job by showing up early to the pick up site. They ended up removing and reinstalling our basement door to make the washer and dryer fit. They went above and beyond and were very patient and kind! - Alyssa
Very kind, quick and professional movers! They delivered a couch to my home and even helped move out the old couch—removing the legs for me to fit out the door. This was my first time using the app and I will definitely use again. - Taylor
Davari and Christian were very friendly and helpful. They were very kind to my elderly aunt during pickup and had to remove and reattach a closet door to get the piece out and were thoughtful about reattaching the mirror to the dresser they moved. - Leslie
Davari and Christian are the nicest, most considerate guys. They moved our stuff with care and did not mind removing their shoes inside the house. I would give more stars if I could! We will definitely ask them back if we have more heavy things to move. Thanks, guys!! - Betty
Really nice people ! Very polite, and friendly. They put the loveseat together and even removed the trash & the old loveseat. I definitely would recommend using this service. - Sara
Very friendly and courteous. Asked if they should remove shoes (not everyone does this) was appreciated. Quick and efficient, will definitely use again! - Adriane
Brett definitely went ‘above and beyond’ to deliver boxes in my house. They were too big to fit in the front door, so Brett quickly removed the door, delivered the boxes and put the door back on. Couldn’t of asked for a better service. - Stephen
They were right on time & notifications were sent letting me they would arrive within 10 minutes. They also were very professional & careful in the removal of our refrigerator. - Lorna
They delivered packed furniture piece (dresser) and lugged to basement temp storage. They unpacked shipping box, removed packing material for fee, and installed drawer pull hardware. They were polite, friendly, and professional throughout. We were happy to tip them. - Richard
They were great!!! Fast and courteous, removed their shoes and even took out the boxes to the recycle area. We look forward to using your service again. Thank you for bringing your business to Vancouver. - Maribel
Austin and Richard went above and beyond the delivery. They were very helpful in moving the couch from Dania into the basement and removing the old love seat. We were very pleased with their Communication, efficiency, and hard work. They are very service oriented. We would be very happy to use them again. - Paula
Joshua and William were fantastic in helping us haul our heavy washer to our upstairs laundry room. We appreciated the convenience and the extra hands! Thanks, y’all! - Robin
Robert and Frank were great. We live on the 3rd floor and the dining table they were hauling up for us was a challenge but they did it! (Ps we tipped them in cash not on app) - Corlis
These guys were GREAT. They hauled our busted couch all the way through the kitchen because the more direct route is blocked by our air conditioner. Ha! They were very professional, very friendly, and very efficient. Highly recommend. - Jennifer
These guys were amazing! Very prompt and careful while hauling They arrived practically minutes after we got home from ordering the furniture! Couldn’t have asked for better delivery! Thank you 😊 - Billie
Steven and Anthony loaded and hauled my new greenhouse quickly and easily, and even placed it alongside my house behind the fence. Thanks! - Mikal
These fellas were great! They hauled my old sectional down a couple flights of stairs. Super friendly and professional. - Jennifer
Friendly greeting. Ready to haul the boxes exactly where I needed them. Overall great experience. I was also impressed at how well secured the boxes where. I really appreciate that. - Kenneth

We can take it if it's bagged and sealed, including trash, yard trimmings, soil and compost. We can't take loose material, branches or tree limbs.
Most dumps and recycling centers close in the early afternoon. We recommend calling before you book to confirm they're open and can accept your items.
The dump or recycling center you choose charges a fee based on the combined weight of your items: typically from $35 for a small item up to $150+. Your Luggers pay it at the facility, and it's charged to your card separately from your Lugg total, usually within 48 hours.
Fees vary by facility. Read more about dump fees.

Recology's bulky item collection is scheduled ahead, and your items usually have to be out at the curb before the crew arrives. What's included, and how many pickups you get, depends on your city's program. It works well when you can plan ahead and get everything downstairs. When you can't, Lugg is an on-demand moving and delivery service in Portland that carries big and bulky items out from any room and drives them to the drop-off you choose.
If you need to get rid of a dresser on the third floor, a sleeper sofa in the basement or an old fridge in a building with nowhere on the sidewalk to leave it, Lugg movers carry it out from wherever it's sitting. The same goes when your pickups for the year are used up, the next appointment is too far out, or the apartment has to be empty before your lease ends. Movers are on the way within the hour, or you pick a one-hour window that suits you, up to 60 days out.
Lugg handles the transport, and you choose the destination: a Recology transfer station that takes drop-offs from the public, another dump or recycling center, or a donation center if the piece is still usable. The FAQs below cover what these sites accept and how their fees work. Your Lugg is an upfront estimate you see before you book, built from the distance to the drop-off plus the time on site, with no hourly minimums. One Lugg holds up to 5 stops, so a dresser can go to a donation center and a broken couch to the transfer station on the same booking.
