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.

Couches, sofas and furniture

Accepted with preparation

Household furniture is not on the city's refused list, so a couch goes out on one of the two free bulky pickups as long as it fits the three cubic yard allowance and two people can lift it.

City cost & eligibility
No charge. Included in the two free bulky item pickups a year available to City of Pasadena refuse customers, within the three cubic yard allowance.
When & how
Book the pickup on 626-744-7311 at least two weeks before the regular trash day, list the furniture when you call, and set it out for the scheduled weekday between 7 a.m. and 4 p.m.
Get it ready
Put the furniture on the parkway between the sidewalk and the street, no more than 24 hours before the scheduled day and by 7 a.m., and keep it clear of the street. Keep glass and mirrors visible to the crew, and leave anything two people cannot lift for a private route.

The handoff matters

Right item.
Right place.

The parkway is the collection point

Bulky items go on the parkway between the sidewalk and the street, in front of the house, and the resident has to put them there because city staff cannot enter private property. Nothing goes out before the pickup is scheduled, everything is out no more than 24 hours before the scheduled day and by 7 a.m. that morning, and early set-out can draw a citation from Code Enforcement. The pile may fill no more than a three cubic yard bin, about four feet wide, five feet long and four feet high, and each item has to be light enough for two people to lift safely.

What the bulky truck will not take

Electronic waste such as televisions, DVD players, cellphones, gaming consoles, computers and monitors is refused, along with construction and roofing material such as concrete, cement, bricks, roof shingles, tiles and drywall, household hazardous materials such as paint, batteries, fertilizer, oil and cleaning supplies, landscaping project material such as dirt, sand, gravel, large branches and stumps, bushes and railroad ties, and automobile parts except up to two tires without rims. Refrigerators and air conditioning units are refused as well. Wood, pipe and branches must be no longer than three feet and tied into easy to handle bundles, and glass and mirrors should stay visible to the crew.

For your Dropcurb pickup

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.

City of Pasadena Public Works Department

Schedule a free bulky item pickup

A City of Pasadena refuse customer with furniture, a mattress, a household appliance or other bulky material that fits a three cubic yard pile and can be lifted by two people.

Cost & conditions
No charge. Two free bulky item pickups a year for households with city refuse service, subject to scheduling availability. Extra items and any pickup beyond the two free ones are charged.
Arrange it
Call 626-744-7311 at least two weeks before the regular trash day, list the items, and place them on the parkway between the sidewalk and the street for the scheduled weekday.

The load is limited to three cubic yards and to what two people can lift, pickups are not scheduled on holidays, electronics, construction material, hazardous waste, landscaping project debris, refrigerators and air conditioning units are refused, and residents whose trash is collected by a private hauler have to contact that hauler.

Open the Pasadena refuse page

Taking it somewhere yourself?

Pasadena keeps bulky items on the parkway and sends chemicals and electronics off site. A city refuse customer schedules two free bulky pickups a year on 626-744-7311, at least two weeks ahead, with the pile on the parkway between the sidewalk and the street, within a three cubic yard bin and light enough for two people. Anything the city refuses has its own route. Household hazardous waste goes free to a Los Angeles S.A.F.E. collection center or a county one-day event, with a 15 gallon or 125 pound per visit limit and the origin address requested at drop-off. Electronic waste also has the city one-day events at the Rose Bowl, and batteries and light bulbs drop off at selected Pasadena libraries and community centers. Renovation material runs through the city construction and demolition ordinance and a rented bin or authorised hauler rather than the curb. Refrigerators and air conditioning units are refused by the bulky service and by the e-waste events, so those need a retailer take-back or a private hauler. Note that the S.A.F.E. center addresses sit behind a location map on the LA Sanitation page, so confirm the nearest site before a trip.

Before you book

A few things
worth knowing.

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

How much does couch removal cost in Pasadena?

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 Pasadena pick up a couch from the parkway?

Furniture is not on the city's refused list, so a couch can go out on one of the two free bulky pickups a year that a city refuse customer can schedule. Call 626-744-7311 at least two weeks ahead, list the couch when you book, and place it on the parkway between the sidewalk and the street no more than 24 hours before the scheduled day.Official guidance

Who collects trash and bulky items in Pasadena?

The city Public Works Department collects refuse from residential properties itself, and the City Service Center on 626-744-7311 handles bulky item appointments, bin rentals and used oil collections. Households whose trash is collected by a private hauler, such as apartment buildings, arrange bulky pickup with that hauler instead.Official guidance

How do I book a bulky pickup and what can go out?

Call 626-744-7311 at least two weeks before your regular trash day and list the items you are putting out. The pile may fill no more than a three cubic yard bin, about four feet wide, five feet long and four feet high, each item has to be light enough for two people, and everything goes on the parkway between the sidewalk and the street within 24 hours of the pickup.Official guidance
