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.

Cerritos residents have a franchise hauler rather than a city transfer station. Batteries and fluorescent light bulbs drop at the E-Recycling of California facility at 7230 Petterson Lane in Paramount at no additional charge, and household hazardous waste goes to a Los Angeles County round-up event, which is scheduled through (888) CLEAN-LA. For material that the weekly carts and the free bulky pickup cannot take, the City's residential rate sheet publishes container options, including a three cubic yard clean-up bin and a roll-off pull with a six ton limit, both with disposal included. The City also suggests donating usable goods before scheduling a pickup, listing the Salvation Army at (800) SA-TRUCK and the Goodwill donation centers in Norwalk and Long Beach.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Couch removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Cerritos.
How much does couch removal cost in Cerritos?+
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.
What can go out for a bulky item pickup?+
Household appliances, mattresses, furniture and miscellaneous bulky items such as metal pipes, wood and carpet. Miscellaneous material has to be cut to four feet and bundled with string under 50 pounds, and construction material, tires, car and boat parts and hazardous waste are not eligible.Official guidance
How do I schedule a bulky pickup?+
Call Athens Services at (833) 791-2376 at least 24 hours before the regular trash service day, or send the online request. Tell the hauler what the items are, keep the pickup to five items, and have everything at the curb by 7 a.m. on the collection day.Official guidance
Will Cerritos take a mattress?+
Yes. A mattress is named in the bulky item definition, so it goes out as one of the five items on a free scheduled pickup. Call (833) 791-2376 at least 24 hours ahead and put it at the curb by 7 a.m. on the trash day.Official guidance
What about a treadmill or other large household item?+
The bulky definition covers large items that will not fit in the trash and recycling containers, and it names appliances, mattresses, furniture and miscellaneous items rather than exercise equipment. Specify the machine when you schedule so the hauler can confirm it, and remember it counts toward the five item limit.Official guidance
Who collects trash in Cerritos?+
Athens Services is the City's exclusive franchise hauler and collects from residents, businesses and industrial customers weekly. Household questions go to Athens customer service at (833) 791-2376, and City questions go to the Public Works Department at (562) 916-1220.Official guidance
What goes in each cart?+
The blue cart takes recyclables, the green cart takes green waste, food scraps and food-soiled paper, and the black cart takes everything else. The City points residents to the hauler's container guide for the item level detail, and a contaminated recycling or organics cart carries a published charge.Official guidance
Can I donate usable items instead?+
Yes, and the City suggests it before you schedule a pickup. The Salvation Army takes donations at (800) SA-TRUCK, and Goodwill has donation centers in Norwalk at (562) 864-0662 and in Long Beach at (562) 719-9242.Official guidance
Where do paint and chemicals go?+
Household hazardous waste is not eligible for a bulky pickup or the carts, and it goes to a Los Angeles County household hazardous waste round-up instead. Call (888) CLEAN-LA or check the County's schedule of events for the next date near Cerritos.Official guidance
