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

Can't wait for a Recology bulky item pickup in Portland?

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.

When a Lugg fits better than the curb

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.

Where it goes in Portland, and what it costs

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.

Lugg isn't part of Recology or affiliated with it.
