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.

Furniture rides Clean Up Day as a bulky item, with sofas, large chairs, tables and cabinets named in the examples. A single family household gets two pre-scheduled Clean Up Days a year and may set out up to three bulky items, each weighing 200 pounds or less.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Two pre-scheduled Clean Up Days a year are provided to single family households on the Palo Alto refuse account, with up to three bulky items of 200 pounds or less each. No separate fee is published for the service, and residents of multi-unit complexes without an individual city refuse bill arrange the day through their property manager.
When & how
Set the furniture at the curb next to the carts by 6 a.m. on the scheduled Clean Up Day, and not earlier than 24 hours before it. The date and the item rules come from GreenWaste at (650) 493-4894 using the utility account number.
Get it ready
Keep each bulky item at or under 200 pounds, and label anything in good enough condition for reuse with the word reuse, because the program collects unbroken reusable items for its partner organisations. Items set out more than 24 hours early can be treated as illegal dumping.
Clean Up Day items go out by 6 a.m. and no more than 24 hours early
Everything belongs at the curb next to the carts by 6 a.m. on the scheduled Clean Up Day and no earlier than 24 hours before the collection. Each category has to be labelled the way the programme asks, with reuse on reusable items and recycle, clothing, yard trimmings, garbage or construction on the matching boxes and bags, and every box or bundle stays under 60 pounds. Household batteries in a sealed clear bag go on top of the blue recycle cart, and lithium batteries are excluded.
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.

How much does couch removal cost in Palo Alto?+
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.

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.
