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.

When & how

Get it ready
Bulky items are household objects that are too large for the carts and need more than one person to handle. Keep the pile clear of sidewalks, driveways and roadways, and remove or secure refrigerator doors before the pickup.
The free bulky pickups are booked with the hauler, which the City asks for at least 24 hours ahead, and the items go out no earlier than the evening before the scheduled pickup. Nothing blocks a sidewalk, driveway or roadway, and refrigerator doors are removed or secured first.
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.

Arrange it
Call Waste Management at (626) 856-1285 or (800) 266-7551 to reserve the pickup, which the City asks for at least 24 hours before the regular collection day, and set the items out no earlier than the evening before.
Household bulky items only. Construction debris, tires, auto parts, household hazardous waste and household trash are not part of the program, and the pickup count resets each calendar year.
Arcadia residents haul their own material to nearby sites rather than to a city facility. Mattresses go to the Monrovia site on West Duarte Road, to R5 Recycling in Azusa, or to a Republic Services transfer station in East Los Angeles, each with its own unit limit and weekday hours, and the Bye Bye Mattress directory lists further sites and events. Used oil and filters go to certified collection centers, and the City gives out free containers, funnels and oil change mats at the Public Works Service Center on Goldring Road. Scrap metal goes to yards in Irwindale, South El Monte and Baldwin Park, household batteries go to drop boxes at City Hall, the Library, the Community Center and the Public Works Services Department, and household hazardous waste is collected from the doorstep through the hauler's program, with a pharmacy kiosk and a sheriff station for medicines.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Couch removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Arcadia.
How much does couch removal cost in Arcadia?+
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.
How many free bulky pickups do I get?+
A single-family residential account gets four free bulky item pickups each calendar year, and each multi-family residential unit gets two. Each one is a reservation, so call Waste Management at (626) 856-1285 or (800) 266-7551, and the City asks for at least 24 hours of notice.Official guidance
What counts as a bulky item?+
Large, bulky or difficult to handle household objects such as couches, furniture, mattresses, rugs, appliances, washing machines, water heaters, refrigerators and large bundled branches that will not fit in the green container. The published list is not exhaustive, so ask the hauler about anything else.Official guidance
When should bulky items go out?+
No earlier than the evening before the scheduled pickup, and never in a way that blocks a sidewalk, driveway or roadway. Refrigerator doors have to be removed or secured before the crew arrives.Official guidance
Who collects trash in Arcadia?+
The City contracts with Waste Management for residential and multi-family trash and recycling, and the collection runs on Wednesdays city-wide. The Public Works Services Department at (626) 254-2720 handles City questions, and the hauler's customer service line is (800) 266-7551.Official guidance
What do I do with paint, chemicals, batteries and medicines?+
Arcadia residents are allowed up to three free household hazardous waste collections a year through the hauler's doorstep program at (800) 449-7587 or wmatyourdoor.com, and business material is not collected. Household batteries go to drop boxes at City Hall, the Library, the Community Center or the Public Works Services Department, with the contact ends of lithium batteries taped and no automotive batteries. Medicines go to the pharmacy kiosk on South Baldwin Avenue, and pharmaceuticals and sharps are accepted anonymously at the Temple City sheriff station.Official guidance
What plastics can go in the recycling cart?+
The curbside cart takes type 1, 2 and 5 plastics, identified by the numbered recycling symbol on the packaging. Tetrapak cartons are not recyclable in the City's service because of the waxy surface coating, even though the packaging suggests otherwise.Official guidance
How does green waste go out?+
Green waste is collected on the same Wednesday schedule as trash and recycling, and large bundled branches that will not fit in the green container can go out as a bulky item on one of the free reservations. The City also sells compost bins to residents.Official guidance
