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.

Your place. One easy pickup plan.
A house, a condo or an apartment. Choose an accessible outdoor spot that works for your property. You arrange the move outside; we take it from there.
Furniture is named in the city's bulky item examples along with rugs and carpets, sinks and toilets, and shipping crates and containers, so a couch leaves on an on-call bulky pickup rather than in the carts.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Included in the up to three no-charge bulky waste pickups a year for single-family homes, duplexes, triplexes and fourplexes. A pickup beyond the allowance carries a fee.
When & how
Book the pickup with Republic Services at 510.262.7100 at least 10 workdays ahead so the items are collected on the next scheduled collection day.
Get it ready
Keep each piece at 200 pounds or less, and route a mattress or box spring to the free drop-off instead if that is easier, since the city publishes a separate no-cost mattress route.
Pick one of the five published options for the pickup
Each on-call bulky pickup uses one of five options: up to fifteen 35 gallon bags with a 50 pound per bag maximum, four 95 gallon bags with the same maximum, five e-waste items, up to 1.8 cubic yards of uncontainerized garbage or organic waste, or, a maximum of once a year, a large item pickup of up to three large items. The hauler's flyer caps each item at 200 pounds, requires small e-waste peripherals to be boxed, and warns that anything beyond three bulky items carries an extra charge.
The hauler publishes the material it never takes: liquids of any kind, cactus, ivy, palm and yucca, fluorescent bulbs, lamps and tubes, paint cans, tied boards, motor oil, fencing, solvents, pesticide containers, mirrors, metal parts, mercury containing thermostats and timers, broken or window glass, car parts, empty gas tanks, cement, rocks and dirt, household, car, rechargeable and button batteries, tree stumps, asbestos, medical sharps and hypodermic needles, and boxed or bundled debris.
Dumpster days run on a postcard and a fixed window
Every Richmond neighborhood receives a free dumpster day, running from 8:00 am to 12:00 pm or until the dumpsters fill, at one to four locations, with postcards mailed two to four weeks ahead and events in spring, summer and fall. Businesses are not eligible. Curbside pickup is only for seniors and residents with disabilities, requested from the Abatement Division before 12:00 pm on the Wednesday before the event for pickup on the Friday before, limited to one pickup truck load per household with identification checked.
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.

Book a pickup beyond the free allowance
A household that has already used its no-charge pickups for the year and still has material to clear.

Call Republic Services at 510.262.7100 to schedule the extra pickup and confirm the charge at that point.

Use the Neighborhood Dumpster Day
A household with mattresses, box springs, small appliances, glass, broken toys, household items, tables, clothing or bagged yard waste to dispose of close to home.
Cost & conditions
No charge. Free to residents of the neighborhood hosting the event, with postcards mailed two to four weeks ahead. Businesses are not eligible, and curbside pickup is limited to seniors and residents with disabilities.
Arrange it
Watch for the postcard and take the material to one of the one to four locations in the neighborhood between 8:00 am and 12:00 pm, or request the Friday curbside pickup through the Abatement Division before noon on the Wednesday before if the household qualifies.
Batteries, e-waste, refrigerators, oven cleaner, bug spray, fluorescent lights, paint, tires, concrete, oil, propane tanks and treated wood are prohibited at the dumpster days and go to the West County hazardous waste facility instead, and curbside pickup is capped at one pickup truck load per household.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Couch removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Richmond.
How much does couch removal cost in Richmond?+
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 Richmond pick up a couch?+
Yes. Furniture is named in the city's bulky item examples, so a couch rides one of the up-to-three no-charge bulky pickups a single-family home, duplex, triplex or fourplex can schedule each calendar year.
