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.

Athens removes bulky items, including major appliances and furniture, on request only through a Bulky Item Request. Bulky items and electronics must not be placed in the trash containers, and the hauler states that doing so may cause an interruption in service.
City cost & eligibility
The local page publishes no bulky item fee. The county mattress program states that most county haulers serving unincorporated areas, the garbage disposal districts and the residential franchise areas provide free bulky item pickup for mattresses, furniture and appliances, so confirm whether the pickup is covered and what the limits are with Athens at (888) 336-6100.
When & how
Submit a Bulky Item Request with Athens, or call customer service at (888) 336-6100, and set the items out only for the appointed day. Customer service answers Monday through Friday from 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and Saturday from 7:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.
Get it ready
Keep bulky items out of the carts, because the hauler may interrupt service for a cart that contains them, and keep the pile clear of the travel path. Automobile parts, construction and demolition debris such as dirt, concrete, tile, drywall and rock, hazardous waste, and loose or scattered building material and lumber are not accepted in a bulky pickup.
Furniture is named in the hauler's own bulky removal statement and in the county's description of the free bulky pickup, so a couch leaves on a requested bulky item collection rather than at the curb on a normal trash day.
City cost & eligibility
No local furniture rate is published. The county states that most unincorporated area haulers provide free bulky item pickup for furniture, so confirm the pickup and its limits with Athens at (888) 336-6100 before booking.
When & how
Submit a Bulky Item Request or call Athens at (888) 336-6100, then put the piece out only for the appointed day rather than on a regular collection day.
Get it ready
Keep the piece out of the carts, take off cushions and loose parts, and keep it clear of the sidewalk and the travel path for the trucks. Donate furniture that is still usable, because the hauler encourages reuse and donation before disposal.
Submit the Bulky Item Request with Athens first, then put the items out only for the appointed day. Keep bulky items and electronics out of the carts, because the hauler states that a cart containing them may interrupt service, and keep automobile parts, construction and demolition debris, hazardous waste and loose building material out of the pile entirely.
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.
Los Angeles County Public Works with Athens Services
Request a bulky item pickup from Athens
A South Whittier household with furniture, a mattress, an appliance or another large item that will not fit in a cart.
Cost & conditions
The local page publishes no bulky item fee, while the county states that most haulers serving unincorporated areas provide free bulky item pickup for mattresses, furniture and appliances. Confirm the pickup and any limits with Athens at (888) 336-6100.
Arrange it
Submit a Bulky Item Request or call Athens, then set the items out for the appointed day rather than on a normal collection day.
The pickup is by request only, so a pile left out without an appointment can conflict with the county container placement ordinance. Automobile parts, construction and demolition debris, hazardous waste, and loose or scattered building material and lumber are refused.
South Whittier households mostly stay with the hauler. Request a bulky item pickup from Athens at (888) 336-6100 for furniture, a mattress or an appliance, and use the county mattress recycling program if a free drop off or retailer take back is easier. Paint, solvents, batteries, automotive fluids, pesticides, pool chemicals, fluorescent bulbs, medical waste, medicines, used motor oil and electronic waste go to the free Los Angeles County collection events, permanent centers or S.A.F.E. centers, with a trip limit of 15 gallons or 125 pounds and a refusal list that includes trash, tires and white goods. Construction and demolition material has no curbside route at all, so the container comes from Athens, and nothing hazardous should ever be left out with a cart.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Couch removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in South Whittier.
How much does couch removal cost in South Whittier?+
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 South Whittier?+
Submit a Bulky Item Request to Athens Services, or call (888) 336-6100. The pickup is by request only, so nothing should go to the curb before the appointed day, and bulky items and electronics in a cart can interrupt service. Automobile parts, construction debris, hazardous waste and loose building material are refused, and the county states that most unincorporated area haulers provide the pickup free.Official guidance
Will South Whittier collect a couch at the curb?+
Yes, but only on a requested bulky item pickup. Athens removes bulky items including furniture on request through a Bulky Item Request or by calling (888) 336-6100, and furniture is one of the items the county says unincorporated area haulers pick up free. A couch left out without a request can also violate the county's container placement ordinance.Official guidance
What does South Whittier charge to get rid of a large item?+
The county states that most haulers serving unincorporated areas provide free bulky item pickup for mattresses, furniture and appliances, while the local Athens page publishes no fee, so confirm the pickup with Athens at (888) 336-6100. Mattress recycling is free through the county program, and the county household hazardous waste events and centers are free for county residents. Dropcurb prices a pickup separately and shows the total before payment.Official guidance
Who collects trash in South Whittier?+
South Whittier is an unincorporated community, so Los Angeles County Public Works runs the franchise and Athens Services has been the hauler for South Whittier and the neighboring unincorporated communities since September 1, 2025. Athens customer service answers at (888) 336-6100, and the collection day changes effective Monday, October 5, 2026.Official guidance
When can containers go out in an unincorporated area?+
The county code bars putting solid waste or a container at the collection point before 5:00 p.m. of the day before the scheduled collection, and bars leaving a container out after 8:00 p.m. on the day of actual collection or more than two hours after collection, whichever is later. Athens asks for the carts out by 6:00 a.m. on the collection day with the wheels against the curb.Official guidance
