Airbnb & STR Turnover Junk Removal in
Nashville
Nashville runs on short-term rentals — and a booked-solid unit wears out its furniture fast. When it's time to refresh between guests, we pull the tired sofa, the sagging mattress, and the worn pieces and haul them the same day, so the unit resets before the next check-in. Flat photo price from $126, we carry it out, COIs and freight elevators handled, disposal and donation included, and no Tennessee service tax on the number.
The turnover niche no other market has
Nashville hosts more than 13,000 bachelorette parties a year on top of a huge Airbnb and VRBO inventory, and that volume is concentrated in the same handful of neighborhoods: the Gulch, East Nashville, 12 South, Germantown, and Downtown. A furnished unit that turns over that often takes a beating — a sectional gets stained, a mattress gives out, a coffee table loses a leg — and the fix is never "wait for bulk pickup," because Nashville doesn't have one. Hosts need the old piece gone and the replacement in place inside the narrow gap between a checkout and the next check-in. That between-booking refresh is a genuinely Nashville-specific job, and it's one we run all week.
The mechanics are simple on your end. Send a photo of what's leaving, get a flat number back, and we book to your window. A vetted, insured crew carries the furniture out — down a bungalow porch or through a high-rise freight elevator — donates or recycles what it can, and texts you when the unit's clear. You can run the whole thing remotely from a lockbox code, and the price never moves off the quote.
What we clear on a refresh
- Tired sofas & sectionals — stained, sagging, or dated seating swapped out between guests.
- Worn mattresses & box springs — the number-one turnover item; twin through king, recycled where possible.
- Dressers, nightstands & headboards — bedroom sets refreshed to keep the listing photos current.
- Dining sets & bar stools — scratched tables and broken chairs from a full-house weekend.
- Décor, rugs & small furniture — the accumulated odds and ends a re-styling leaves behind.
- Whole-unit refresh — a full re-furnish cleared in one truck-fill so the new look goes in clean.
How much STR turnover costs in Nashville
Flat and photo-quoted, with the carry-out and the disposal already in the number and no Tennessee service tax on top. Single pieces price on their own; a full re-furnish prices as a truck-fill. There's no high-rise surcharge, even with a COI and a freight-elevator booking.
| Item / Volume | Flat price |
|---|---|
| Sofa / couch | $126 |
| Loveseat | $119 |
| Sectional (3-piece) | $185 |
| Queen mattress | $103 |
| King mattress | $114 |
| Dresser | $126 |
| Dining table (6–8 seat) | $163 |
| Whole-unit refresh (truck-fill 1/4) | $241 |
| Truck-fill (1/2) | $431 |
| Truck-fill (full) | $732 |
$75 minimum. Sending several pieces at once? They all go on one visit for one flat number — send a single photo of everything and we'll price the lot.
Why hosts can't just leave it at the curb
Every host learns this fast: Metro Nashville has no free curbside bulk pickup. Set a mattress or a sofa on the sidewalk outside your rental and it stays there — a code violation waiting to happen and exactly the kind of thing that draws a neighbor complaint in an STR-sensitive block. The city's only free route is self-haul to a convenience center like Anderson Lane in Madison or Omohundro Place, open Tuesday through Saturday, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. — impossible to fit into a same-day turnover, and useless for a high-rise unit with no truck and no time. That gap is the whole reason this service exists: we bring the crew and the truck, carry the old furniture out of the unit, and haul it on your booking window instead of the city's business hours.
High-rise STR units: COI, freight elevator, dock
A big share of Nashville's investor STRs sit in the Gulch, SoBro, and Downtown towers, and those buildings don't let a vendor near the freight elevator without a Certificate of Insurance on file — typically $1M general liability naming the building's management as additional insured — plus a reserved freight-elevator and loading-dock window. There's no curb to use; everything goes out the dock. We handle that end for you: we file the COI, book the elevator, split a sectional that won't clear the doors, and coordinate with the front desk. For single-family STRs in East Nashville and 12 South, access is usually a simple lockbox — either way, the furniture is out and the unit is reset without you lifting a thing.
Where the old furniture goes
A refresh doesn't have to mean a landfill run. A sofa, dresser, or dining set still in usable shape goes to donation first — Goodwill of Middle Tennessee, the Habitat for Humanity ReStore, and the Salvation Army keep it furnishing another Nashville home. Mattresses are routed to recycling where a facility takes them, and only what's genuinely spent is disposed of. It's a cleaner story for your listing and your conscience, and the donation and disposal are both already folded into your flat price — no separate dump fee, no surprise at the end.

What Nashville hosts say
"I run three units in the Gulch and turnovers are relentless. They had the COI on file, booked the freight elevator, and swapped a sectional and two mattresses between guests — same day, flat price, done remotely while I was out of town."
"Bachelorette group destroyed the dining set in my East Nashville rental. Sent a photo that morning, they cleared it and the old couch before my afternoon check-in. Donated what they could. Lifesaver."
"I clean and co-host a batch of 12 South units and I book these turnovers straight from a lockbox code. Flat price every time, no curb drama, no tax nonsense. They're part of my reset now."
STR turnover questions, answered
Can you turn it same-day between bookings?
Yes — we book to your checkout-to-check-in window so the old furniture is out and the unit resets before the next guest. It's our most common STR job in the Gulch, East Nashville, 12 South, and Germantown.
How much does it cost?
Flat: sofa $126, queen mattress $103, dresser $126, sectional 3-piece $185, or a whole-unit refresh as truck-fill $241 to $732. $75 minimum, disposal and donation included, no Tennessee service tax, no high-rise surcharge.
Do you handle the building COI and elevator?
Yes — for Gulch, SoBro, and Downtown towers we file the COI and reserve the freight elevator and dock, and split a sectional if needed.
Can I run it remotely?
Usually — from a lockbox code, smart lock, or building access. We confirm the price from your photo and text you when it's done.
Mattress and sofa in one trip?
Yes — several pieces go on one visit for one flat number. Mattresses recycled where possible, usable furniture donated.
Why not just use the curb?
Metro has no curbside bulk pickup, and furniture left out draws complaints. We carry it out and haul it on your window instead.
