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.

A single family household or a multi family dwelling with individual carts may request up to two free large item collections for a total of six items picked up per calendar year.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Two collections a calendar year with up to six large items in total are free for a single family dwelling and for a multi family dwelling with individual cart service. A refrigerator or freezer may incur a freon service fee, which the city does not publish, so ask Athens for the amount when the pickup is scheduled.
When & how
Submit the online request or call Athens Services at 805-852-5264. The city asks residents not to put bulky items, construction debris, electronic waste or automotive parts in the carts, because doing so can interrupt service.
Get it ready
Keep the items on the property until a collection is scheduled, then set them out as the hauler directs. Reuse and donation come first for anything usable, and an item that needs a forklift or crane is outside the definition the city and hauler publish. Unincorporated addresses are told to contact the County of Ventura instead.
Furniture is named both in the city's large item definition and on the hauler's bulky item list, so a couch comes off the property on a scheduled free collection.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Furniture goes out inside the two free collections and six item yearly allowance for a single family dwelling or a multi family dwelling with individual carts.
When & how
Request the collection from Athens at 805-852-5264 or online, then set the furniture out as directed for the collection date.
Get it ready
Do not set furniture out on the curb without a scheduled pickup, and keep it out of the carts, because a bulky item in a cart can interrupt service. Athens asks residents to reuse or donate usable pieces first, and a small appliance or a device can be dropped at a Goodwill donation center in town, which takes small appliances and nearly all electronic waste whether it works or not.
Furniture, mattresses, appliances and other large items are collected by request on one of the two free collections a calendar year, and the city asks residents not to put bulky items, electronics, construction debris or automotive parts in the carts. Request the collection from Athens first, then set the items 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 Thousand Oaks.
How much does couch removal cost in Thousand Oaks?+
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 many large items can a household put out each year?+
Two free collections a calendar year covering six large items in total. The allowance is written for single family dwellings and for multi family dwellings with individual cart service, and the city does not take more than those six items without another arrangement.Official guidance
How do I schedule a bulky item pickup?+
Submit the online request form or call Athens Services at 805-852-5264. The city asks residents not to set bulky items in the trash cart or at the curb without a request, and it asks unincorporated addresses to contact the County of Ventura rather than the city program.Official guidance
What cannot go on a bulky item pickup?+
Automobile parts; construction debris such as dirt, concrete, tile, drywall and rock; hazardous waste such as antifreeze, automotive fluids, cleaning products, compressed gas cylinders, pesticides, paint, pharmaceuticals, pool chemicals and solvents; and loose or scattered building materials and lumber. Each of those has a separate route in Thousand Oaks.Official guidance
Will Thousand Oaks pick up a couch?+
Yes, on one of the two free large item collections a year. Furniture is named in the city's bulky item definition and on the hauler's list, so a couch, sofa or chair is collected by request rather than on the weekly route.Official guidance
Who handles trash and recycling collection in Thousand Oaks?+
Athens Services collects residential and commercial trash, recycling and organics under a franchise agreement with the city, and the rates are set by City Council. Athens customer care is at 805-852-5264, Monday through Friday 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturday 7 a.m. to noon, and the city Sustainability Division is at 805-449-7283 or gogreen@toaks.org.Official guidance
Does a holiday change my collection day?+
Yes. Holidays create a one day delay in collection. Athens observes New Year's Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving and Christmas Day, and a holiday that falls on a Saturday or Sunday does not delay service.Official guidance
What happens at the household hazardous waste facility?+
The city facility at 2010 Conejo Center Drive in Newbury Park takes paint, solvents, pesticides, pool chemicals, batteries, used oil, antifreeze, propane cylinders, fluorescent bulbs and electronics from residents of Thousand Oaks and unincorporated Ventura County on Fridays and Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. An appointment is required, online registration closes at 5 p.m. the day before, a load is limited to 15 gallons or 125 pounds, and Clean Harbors schedules appointments at 800-356-8570.Official guidance
What is free landfill day and who can use it?+
The city opens the Calabasas Landfill at 5300 Lost Hills Road in Agoura Hills from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. on published dates, which are March 28, June 20 and September 26 in 2026, for Thousand Oaks residents who are current Athens customers. A resident with identification may bring up to two loads of trash, green waste, concrete, dirt, asphalt, bulky items or construction material in a car or pickup, and up to five loose passenger tires, with no late entry and no commercial or landscaping loads.Official guidance
Do apartments and complexes with shared bins get the same service?+
Multi family dwellings with individual carts are covered by the single family rate sheet and by the same two collections and six item large item allowance, but a complex with centralized bin service is billed under a separate multi family and mixed use rate schedule. Call Athens at 805-852-5264 to confirm what a shared bin property receives before setting anything out.Official guidance
