Furniture & mattresses
Couches, recliners, bed sets, waterlogged pieces after a storm. The stuff the regular truck leaves behind.
Furniture, appliances, hurricane debris, hot tubs, sheds, full cleanouts. One call connects you with a Southwest Louisiana hauling crew that knows the difference between a free parish dump run and a landfill ticket — and this page lays out every rule for you.
The city won't take your big stuff at the curb by default. Furniture, appliances, and construction debris aren't on the regular route — white goods need a scheduled pickup (337-491-1220) with the Freon removed first. A crew handles all of it in one trip. Full rules below.
Just about anything two people can carry out of a house, camp, garage, or yard — loaded, hauled, and taken to the right place: a free parish drop-off, a donation center, scrap, or the transfer station.
Couches, recliners, bed sets, waterlogged pieces after a storm. The stuff the regular truck leaves behind.
Fridges, freezers, washers, water heaters, window AC units. Refrigerant has to be professionally removed before disposal — a crew sorts that out.
SWLA knows the drill. Fencing, drywall, ruined furniture, and cleanout loads that pile up faster than the event-based curbside passes can reach.
Cut down, hauled off, the slab swept clean — usually in an afternoon.
Thorough and respectful. Ask the crew to route usable pieces to the donation stops listed below.
Landlords and camp owners: cleared fast between tenants or seasons, before the next lease or the next front rolls in.
One call connects you with a local crew. Say what you've got and where it sits — curbside, garage, or upstairs.
Volume-based pricing is the local standard — a set price before any lifting. Never take a number that only shows up after the truck's loaded.
The crew does the lifting and sweeps up. Want it donated or scrapped instead of dumped? Say so on the call.
Southwest Louisiana has one of the better free-disposal setups in the state — if you know the rules. Any parish resident can drop household junk at two free dump sites, open an unusual Thursday through Monday (closed Tuesday and Wednesday). Bring your license; it gets scanned.
That's the gap a good crew fills: one call, and each pile goes to the right place — free site, donation, scrap, or transfer station — instead of you making four trips and getting turned away at three of them.
Every Lake Charles neighborhood — the Charpentier historic district, Margaret Place, Shell Beach Drive, Prien, University Place around McNeese — plus the towns across the river and down the highway:
Not on the regular route. Bulk trash is collected on a limited schedule, and white goods (appliances) require a separate scheduled pickup at 337-491-1220 with the refrigerant already professionally removed. Construction debris, tires, and hazardous waste aren't collected curbside at all. A removal crew handles the items and the sorting in one trip.
Pricing is by volume — how much truck space your load fills — plus any special handling like refrigerant recovery or storm-debris loads. Local haulers publish tiers running from around $85–$99 for a single item up to several hundred for a full truck, and cleanouts higher. The local standard is a firm, all-in price before work starts.

If you've got a truck and the load qualifies, yes — the East (Lake Charles) and West (Sulphur) sites are free to parish residents, open Thursday–Monday. But they turn away Freon-in appliances, more than five tires, construction debris, and any e-waste outside the single annual E-Waste Day. A crew already knows what goes where, so nothing gets rejected at the gate.
Yes — this is hurricane country. After Laura and Delta, the whole parish learned to sort debris into piles (vegetation, construction, appliances, electronics, hazardous). When a pile grows faster than the event-based curbside passes can reach it, a crew can clear the yard in one visit so it's not the last one on the street still wearing the storm.
Hazardous liquids: wet paint, motor oil, gasoline, chemicals, and pressurized tanks. If you're unsure about an item, just ask when you call.
Often same-day or next-day when you call in the morning — Lake Charles is home base, not a route someone drives through twice a week. Around McNeese move-out in May, book a few days ahead.
