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.
Large household items are collected on a scheduled bulky item pickup instead of the curb, and the city's page describes four bulky items across two pickups a year at no charge while the hauler's page describes four bulky item pickups in a 12-month period.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. The City of Ventura states that residential customers may arrange four bulky items during two pickups a year without charge. E.J. Harrison's own page words the same benefit as four bulky item pickups in a 12-month period at no charge, so confirm the allowance that applies to the address when booking at 805-647-1414 or through the hauler's request form.
When & how
Call 805-647-1414 or 800-41-TRASH, or submit the hauler's online request form. Nothing is collected at the curb on the regular trash day, and the city asks residents not to set a mattress, an appliance or furniture out with the trash carts while a pickup is pending.
Get it ready
Keep the items on the property until the hauler gives you an appointment date, then set them out as directed for that date. Ask the hauler how early to set the pile out, because no citywide bulky set out clock is published. Disposing of it is the whole point of the appointment, so do not include anything you want returned.
Furniture is a named bulky item, so a couch or a table leaves the property on a scheduled bulky item pickup, and the city points usable pieces at local second hand stores first.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Furniture goes out on the city's bulky item allowance at no charge, and the count is confirmed with the hauler at booking because the city's page and the hauler's page describe the annual allowance differently.
When & how
Book the pickup at 805-647-1414 or online, then set the piece out as the hauler directs for the appointment date.
Get it ready
Never set a couch or a table at the curb with the trash carts. The city lists Goodwill, the Coalition Thrift Store, the ARC Foundation and Thrift Store, the Boys and Girls Club Thrift Store and the SPARC Second Chance Store as local donation options for gently used furniture, so offer a usable piece there before booking a pickup.
Furniture, mattresses and appliances are collected on a scheduled bulky item pickup, and the city asks residents not to set any of it out on the curb with the trash bins. Keep the items on the property until the hauler gives you a pickup date, then set them out as directed.
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.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Couch removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in San Buenaventura.
How much does couch removal cost in San Buenaventura?+
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 bulky item pickup in Ventura?+
Call E.J. Harrison and Sons at 805-647-1414 or 800-41-TRASH, or submit the request form on the hauler's website. Bulky items are not collected on the regular trash route, so the pickup has to be arranged first, and the city asks residents to confirm the allowance that applies when they book.Official guidance
What counts as a bulky item in Ventura?+
The city defines bulky items as discarded large household appliances, furniture, tires, carpets, mattresses and similar large items that need special handling because of their size. The hauler's page lists broken or old furniture, water heaters, mattresses, old bathroom and kitchen fixtures and household appliances among the common bulky items it collects.Official guidance
Can furniture go out with the trash carts?+
No. The city states that old furniture and appliances cannot be set out on the curb with the trash bins, and that a bulky item pickup has to be scheduled instead. Setting the piece out early also risks a report to the city's Safe and Clean Hotline at 805-677-3900.Official guidance
Will Ventura take a couch or sofa?+
Yes, on a scheduled bulky item pickup. Furniture is named in the city's definition of a bulky item, so a couch, sofa or table is collected from the address on an appointment rather than on the regular trash day.Official guidance
Can I donate furniture instead of throwing it away?+
Yes. The city lists Goodwill, the Coalition Thrift Store, the ARC Foundation and Thrift Store, the Boys and Girls Club Thrift Store and the SPARC Second Chance Store as places that take gently used furniture, and it frames donation as the first option before a bulky item pickup.Official guidance
Who collects trash and recycling in Ventura?+
E.J. Harrison and Sons is the city's exclusive franchise hauler and handles the weekly curbside collection of trash, recycling and yard waste, with residential pricing, billing and cart changes at 805-647-1414 or 800-41-TRASH. The city's Environmental Sustainability division runs the bulky item and household hazardous waste programs and can be reached at 805-652-4525.Official guidance
Do apartments and shared buildings get the same service?+
The city's bulky item program is written for residential customers and the hauler's page addresses residential customers without saying how a multi family property is treated. If you live in an apartment or a shared building, call 805-647-1414 to confirm what the property is eligible for before setting anything out.Official guidance
Does a holiday change my collection day?+
It can. Pickup may be delayed by one day in a holiday week, and the hauler publishes a holiday schedule lookup on its Ventura page. Carts still go out by 7 a.m. on whichever day the route runs.Official guidance
What happens at the monthly household hazardous waste event?+
The events run on the third Saturday of each month except December, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., at Gold Coast Recycling on Colt Street. An appointment is required through 805-652-4525, the events are for City of Ventura residents only, and each visit is limited to 15 gallons or 125 pounds of material. Fireworks, smoke detectors, radioactive and medical waste, explosive material, compressed gas cylinders, tires and trash are refused.Official guidance
