Book by 2pm for same-day pickup.

Choose items or browse the full catalog.

A sofa ready outside an open doorway, with an empty room behind it and a clear path alongside.
Once it’s outside, we handle the loading and haul-away.

Ready for it to go

The old sofa can stop holding up your plans.

You know it needs to go. The price, the pickup day and knowing it is done should be easy to settle, too.

A replacement is on the way.

Give the old couch its own pickup day. Check what your retailer will remove, then book the part you still need handled.

The move has enough moving parts.

See the price before you book and choose from the available dates. One less job to arrange before handing back the keys.

You are ready for the space back.

You do not need a whole room to clear. Book the sofa, recliner or sectional that needs to go, and follow the pickup through updates and photos.

The right sofa. The right price.

Count the sections, not the cushions.

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.

Three structural sectional modules slightly separated, with all cushions remaining on their bases.
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.

The handoff matters

Right item.
Right place.

Book the day before and be out by 7 a.m.

A bulky item pickup in Lakewood is booked with EDCO at 562-531-3054 by 3:30 p.m. one day before the regular trash collection day, and a single-family residence gets up to six of those collections a year with up to six items at each one. The items go to the curb alongside the carts by 7 a.m. on the collection day, and the hauler asks residents to describe what is being discarded so a reusable piece can go to a charity or a shelter instead of the landfill.

Cart placement for the weekly collection

Carts go to the curb in front of the home before 6 a.m. on the service day, in the street with the wheels against the curb and out of the way of traffic including bike lanes. The arrows on the lid point toward the street, carts stay at least two feet apart and at least three feet from parked cars, mailboxes, trees, telephone poles and other obstructions, and the lids close with nothing packed so tightly that it cannot fall out when the truck lifts the cart. Hot ashes, coals and fireworks never go in a cart.

Six categories the bulky truck will not take

The city lists six refusals for a bulky item pickup: hazardous waste, old auto parts, machinery and other industrial items, oil, grease and other liquids, building materials such as bricks, lumber, roofing materials, dirt and broken concrete, and excessively large items such as whole tree trunks and large limbs. Electronics, fluorescent bulbs, medication and needles are refused as well, and each of those has its own route rather than a place in the pile.

The Christmas weeks run on their own rules

Bulky item pickup pauses for the Christmas tree recycling program after Christmas Day and resumes in January. During that program EDCO collects discarded trees on the regular trash day for one week after Christmas, with ornaments, tinsel and metal or plastic stands removed, wooden stands left in place, nothing bagged, and any tree over six feet cut in half. In the same week EDCO takes extra holiday trash on the regular pickup day at no charge, up to 10 standard size bags about two feet from the cart, with no call needed in advance.

Taking it somewhere yourself?

Self-hauling in Lakewood means driving to the EDCO transfer station at 2755 California Avenue in Signal Hill, which takes large and oversized amounts of brick, used lumber and other material that will not fit the carts or ride the bulky pickup, plus large amounts of clean green waste that can be recycled into mulch and carries a dumping fee. Waste disposal runs Monday to Saturday from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and Sunday from 9 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., the redemption value buy-back runs Tuesday to Saturday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., and the household hazardous waste, electronic waste and sharps drop-off runs on designated Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. with no charge and with the 2026 and 2027 dates printed by the city. A mattress or other bulky item is free on the curbside route for a single-family residence, so the transfer station is the paid path for an apartment or condominium household or for oversize material. Construction is regulated separately: a covered project files a Debris Recovery Plan through GreenHalo, has to recycle or salvage at least 65 percent of its nonhazardous debris, and can only use EDCO or self-haul with its own vehicles, which needs the current vehicle registration, current vehicle insurance and a photo of the vehicle with the license plate visible.

Before you book

A few things
worth knowing.

Couch removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Lakewood.

How much does couch removal cost in Lakewood?

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 Lakewood pick up a couch from the curb?

Yes. Sofas and chairs are two of the examples the city gives for the bulky item service, and the hauler's list also covers furniture, carpet, rugs and book shelves. A single-family residence books the pickup with EDCO at 562-531-3054 by 3:30 p.m. one day before the regular collection day, and the pieces go to the curb with the carts by 7 a.m. on that day.Official guidance
