Carlos and Wyatt are the most professional and personable movers I have ever worked with. They were able to move my bulky furniture up and down multiple flights of stairs, narrow passageways that had sprinkler heads installed, and into my new unit quickly and cleanly. I would highly recommend them for any move large or small. Thanks for the help! - Mikio

They were quick and clear and friendly. One thing I would suggest that the company do: make it clear, for junk removal, that the Luggers will pay the fee and then have it added to the customer's bill. I had assumed I'd have to drive to the dump as well so as to pay the fee! - Cara

Can't wait for a Recology bulky item pickup in Tacoma?
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 Tacoma 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 Tacoma, 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.
