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.

A couch rides in one of the two curbside on-call collections Cupertino households get each year at no additional charge, counted against a limit of three bulky items per collection, and the Recology South Bay transfer station also takes furniture for a fee.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. No additional charge for the two residential on-call collections each year, where bulky goods such as furniture or appliances are limited to three items per collection. A further collection in the same year is available for a fee, and a self-hauled load at the transfer station is priced there.
When & how
Call Recology at 408.725.4020 at least 24 hours before the pickup day, then put the items at the entrance to your driveway no later than 7 AM, or drive them to the Recology South Bay transfer station at 1675 Rogers Ave in San Jose, open Monday through Friday 6 AM to 5 PM and Saturday 6 AM to 2 PM.
Get it ready
Keep the set-out on private property at the driveway entrance, never in the street or on the sidewalk, and keep loose pieces inside an area 8 feet long, 4 feet wide and 4 feet high. Each item must stay under 50 pounds, under 6 feet long and manageable by one person. Hazardous waste such as paint, medication, solvents, pesticides and fertilizers is refused, and so is treated wood such as fence posts and deck material. In a multi-family building, the property manager schedules the pickup.
Cupertino households get two on-call collections a year at no additional charge, limited to three bulky items per collection, and every collection has to be booked with Recology at least 24 hours ahead and placed on private property at the driveway entrance by 7 AM. Loose pieces must fit inside an area 8 feet long, 4 feet wide and 4 feet high, and each item must stay under 50 pounds and under 6 feet. Further collections cost more, extra garbage needs a purchased Extra Bag Tag, and nothing bulky goes to the curb before the pickup is scheduled.
Keep hazardous and treated material out of the pile
Hazardous waste such as paint, medication, solvents, pesticides and fertilizers is refused in an on-call collection, and treated wood such as fence posts and deck material is refused with it. Those materials belong at the county household hazardous waste drop-off, which needs a free appointment and proof of residency, and the city Environmental Recycling Day is not a substitute because it refuses products containing toxic chemicals. Electronics should never go in a cart, because the city and the state prohibit e-waste in garbage, recycling and compost containers.
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

Further collections are available for a fee, and a multi-family building schedules through the property manager.
Arrange it
Book at least 24 hours ahead with Recology at 408.725.4020 and set the material out on private property at the driveway entrance by 7 AM on the collection day. Extra garbage needs a purchased Extra Bag Tag, while extra recycling and organics go out at no additional cost.
Hazardous waste such as paint, medication, solvents, pesticides and fertilizers is refused, and treated wood such as fence posts and deck material is refused with it.

Extra garbage, furniture, appliances, construction and demolition material, mattresses and box springs, monitors and televisions, yard waste, carpet and metal.
Cost & conditions
The station publishes no rate card, so the charge is quoted when the load is weighed, and payment is by credit or debit card only.
Arrange it
Drive to 1675 Rogers Ave in San Jose, open Monday through Friday 6 AM to 5 PM and Saturday 6 AM to 2 PM and closed Sunday, and enter through the Customer Parking entryway. Call 408.588.7200 with questions about a load.
The station accepts the materials on its published list and charges by weight, so an unusual load should be confirmed by phone first. Recology refuses televisions, computer monitors, toxic chemicals, hazardous waste, paint, tires, freezers and refrigerators in its debris boxes, which is a separate service from the transfer station.
Self-haul in Cupertino means the Recology South Bay transfer station at 1675 Rogers Ave in San Jose, open Monday through Friday 6 AM to 5 PM and Saturday 6 AM to 2 PM, where garbage, furniture, appliances, construction material, mattresses, monitors and televisions, yard waste and carpet are accepted at a charge quoted when the load is weighed. A larger renovation belongs in a Recology debris box, because Recology is the exclusive hauler of garbage in the city, and the city also lists five disposal facilities at Zanker, Newby Island, Guadalupe, Kirby Canyon and Schnitzer that take drop-offs at a cost by volume or weight, with a call advised first. Small loads can avoid the trip through the free quarterly drop-off at De Anza College.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Couch removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Cupertino.
How much does couch removal cost in Cupertino?+
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 do I schedule a couch pickup in Cupertino?+
Call Recology at 408.725.4020. Each Cupertino household gets two on-call collections a year at no additional charge, limited to three bulky items per collection, and the load must be scheduled at least 24 hours ahead and placed at the entrance to your driveway by 7 AM on the collection day. Apartment residents arrange it through the property manager, and a couch beyond those collections or a self-hauled transfer station load costs more.Official guidance
Who collects garbage in Cupertino?+
Recology South Bay is the exclusive hauler of garbage in Cupertino. The curbside program covers garbage, single-stream recycling and food and yard waste composting, and it also includes used cooking oil collection, battery and compact fluorescent bulb collection, household hazardous waste drop-off and on-call collection of bulky items. Residents choose a 96, 64, 32 or 20 gallon garbage cart, bills arrive once every three months, and the city Environmental Programs Division answers questions at 408.777.3236.Official guidance
Where do paint, chemicals, batteries and medications go in Cupertino?+
To the Santa Clara County Household Hazardous Waste Program, a free drop-off for County residents that takes paint, pool chemicals, pesticides, cleaning solvents, batteries, fluorescent and LED bulbs, propane, e-waste, medications and sharps. Every visit needs a free appointment first at 408.299.7300, the drop-off address is sent after the appointment is booked, and proof of residency is required. Household batteries alone can go in a sealed bag on top of the recycling cart on collection day.Official guidance
What can apartment residents in Cupertino use?+
Multi-family residents share the same curbside program through their property, and battery and light bulb collection may be available at the leasing office, so ask the property manager what is offered. An on-call bulky pickup for a multi-family building is scheduled through the property manager, and the county household hazardous waste appointment is open to the resident directly.Official guidance
