A loveseat, a sleeper and a sectional can look similar in a photo. Match the shape and features so your online price covers what is actually going.
This example has three structural sections. The cushions do not add to the count.
A straight sofa or loveseat
Choose Standard sofa for fixed seats with no pull-out bed or reclining mechanism. One whole sofa is one item.
A sectional
Count its structural sections, not the loose cushions. Choose the piece count, then check for a sleeper or reclining feature. One sectional booking covers the configuration you select.
A pull-out bed or reclining seats
Choose Sleeper sofa or Reclining sofa for those mechanisms. A single reclining chair has its own Recliner choice. All sofa types also includes futons and sofas with a chaise.

Your place. One easy pickup plan.
A house, a condo or an apartment. Choose an accessible outdoor spot that works for your property. You arrange the move outside; we take it from there.
Furniture that cannot be donated is named on the city's bulk trash list, so a couch goes out during the every-other-month bulk week rather than with the weekly trash. Mattresses share that collection week.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Included in the every other month bulk trash collection for Tempe residential solid waste customers, inside the published 10 cubic yard limit.
When & how
Put the furniture out by 6 a.m. on the Monday of the scheduled bulk week, no earlier than 10 days before, in the same location as the regular trash and recycling collection.
Get it ready
Curbside addresses put the pile on the property line in the street or at the front edge of the driveway without blocking the sidewalk, and alley addresses put it along the fence line without blocking the alley. Keep glass, mirrors and unbagged trash out of the pile, and consider donation first, since the city lists furniture that cannot be donated.
The bulk pile has a two week window and a hard limit
Bulk trash and green organics go out by 6 a.m. on the Monday of the scheduled collection week and no earlier than 10 days before it, and a holiday in that week does not move the collection. The pile is limited to 10 cubic yards, which the city describes as the size of a small SUV, and the city moves each address on its own every-other-month schedule rather than every week.
Trash and green organics go into two distinct piles four feet apart, and every item stays four feet away from a solid waste container, fire hydrant, gas meter, telephone or utility box. Nothing goes over a manhole cover, curbside addresses keep the pile on the property line in the street or at the front edge of the driveway without blocking the sidewalk, and alley addresses keep it along the fence line without blocking the alley.
Use a permitted, accessible outdoor spot. Arrange the move out of your home, keep shared access clear and follow your confirmation’s readiness instructions. Check with your building about access or staging limits before booking.

Cost & conditions
No charge. Included in the residential solid waste service for Tempe customers on the every other month bulk trash week, inside the published 10 cubic yard limit.
Arrange it
Put the material out by 6 a.m. on the Monday of the scheduled week and no earlier than 10 days before, in the same spot the regular trash and recycling carts go.

Cost & conditions

Arrange it
Call Tempe 311 at 480-350-4311 for pricing and to schedule a pickup outside the regular bulk week.
The same prohibited material list applies, because a special pickup is still the city's bulk collection rather than a hazardous waste or construction service.

Cost & conditions

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Couch removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Tempe.
How much does couch removal cost in Tempe?+
A standard sofa is $79 as the first item and $29 additional. Sectionals, sleepers and reclining sofas have their own choices. Select everything that is going to see the combined price before booking. Loading, transportation and disposal are included; any applicable sales tax appears before payment.
Can you pick up my couch today?+
Book by 2pm in the pickup address’s local time for same-day pickup. Available dates appear at checkout. Have the couch outside and accessible according to your confirmation. We send pickup updates and photos when it is done; the booking is for a day rather than an exact arrival time.
How do I book a sectional for removal?+
Open Sectional in the sofa choices, count its structural sections, and select any sleeper or reclining feature. Count the sections with their own bases, not loose cushions. The matching catalog choice covers one complete sectional of that configuration. Text a photo before booking if you are unsure.
Will you carry my couch out of my apartment?+
Dropcurb starts outside. Arrange for the sofa to be moved through the apartment and down interior stairs before pickup. We load and haul it away from an accessible outdoor spot. Arrange any dismantling needed to get it outside beforehand.
Do I need to wait at home for couch pickup?+
You do not need to be home when your booked sofa is outside and accessible. Add photos and pickup-location notes to your order so the right pieces are easy to identify. We send updates and completion photos. Confirm any building access restrictions with us before booking.
When can a couch go out in Tempe?+
During the bulk trash week for the address, which comes every other month. The city lists furniture that cannot be donated on the accepted bulk trash list, and the pile goes out by 6 a.m. on the Monday of that week and no earlier than 10 days before, in the same place the regular trash and recycling carts go.Official guidance
Who runs trash collection in Tempe?+
The City of Tempe does, through the Solid Waste Services section of the Public Works Department, so this is a municipal service rather than a private subscription. Garbage and recycling run weekly, bulky trash and green organics run every other month, and program questions go to Tempe 311 at 480-350-4311.Official guidance
When is my bulk trash week in Tempe?+
Every other month, on the schedule published for each address, with the material out by 6 a.m. on the Monday of that week and no earlier than 10 days before. A holiday in the collection week does not change the schedule, and the city notes that a collection may occasionally be delayed.Official guidance
