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.
A sofa, chair or recliner, table, dresser, bookshelf, bed frame and similar household furniture are all named on the city's acceptable bulky item list, so furniture leaves through one of the three annual pickups rather than in the cart.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Carlsbad residents with curbside service, inside the three pickups a year and the five item limit, with each item under the 200 pound weight limit.
When & how
Call Republic Services at 760-332-6464 to book the pickup and place the furniture where the agent directs.
Get it ready
Keep the piece whole rather than broken apart, since a dismantled pile is harder for the crew to handle, and keep the items the city refuses, such as pool tables, pianos, sinks and construction material, out of the same pile.
The city publishes a specific handling rule for the items that need one: wrap mattresses in plastic or a disposal cover, cut carpet into four foot lengths and bundle it into a single roll, disassemble gym sets and swing sets and bundle them, call Republic Services about an older refrigerator that may need freon removal and tagging, and bundle and tie yard trimmings or non-treated wood waste with no more than four bundles per pickup. Everything goes in the location the agent specifies when the pickup is scheduled.
The city publishes a long refused list for bulky collection: auto parts, bathtubs with showers attached, boats, camper shells, construction and demolition debris, fencing, a whole garage door, household hazardous waste, pianos, plywood and wallboard, pools, pool tables, roofing, satellite dishes, shopping carts, shower modules, sinks, sliding glass doors, spas, tires, tree stumps, universal waste such as batteries and fluorescent bulbs, and windows. Each of those needs its own route rather than a spot in the pile.
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.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Couch removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Carlsbad.
How much does couch removal cost in Carlsbad?+
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.
Will Carlsbad pick up a couch from the curb?+
Yes, as a bulky item. A sofa, chair or recliner, table, dresser, bookshelf and bed frame are all on the acceptable bulky item list, and a resident books the pickup with Republic Services at 760-332-6464 within the three pickups allowed each year and the five item limit for each one.Official guidance
