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 a large item that the household hauler collects by arrangement, and it is also eligible material on the city spring cleanup day.
City cost & eligibility
Furniture pricing is set by each hauler, and the city publishes no rate, so confirm the piece, the collection day and the charge with the company the address uses. The spring cleanup day is the free route once a year.
When & how
Arrange the pickup with the hauler ahead of the collection day, or hold the piece for the posted spring cleanup day.
Get it ready
Keep upholstery dry and the piece whole unless it comes apart easily, and keep furniture out of the garbage cart. Mattress and box spring pieces are treated as separate items, and anything a contractor removed from the property is the contractor's to haul.
Five haulers serve the city, and each one prices its own service
Ankeny Sanitation, Aspen Waste Systems, Garbage Guys, Waste Connections of Iowa and Waste Management of Iowa all collect residential garbage in the city, and the city sends residents to the company they use for rates, pickup days and times, yard waste fees, large item and extra trash procedures, missed collections and cart changes. The city itself publishes no collection rate.
The free city events for limbs, leaves and large junk
Spring cleanup day lets residents inside the corporate limits dispose of large unwanted items free of charge at the Ankeny Sanitation site on SE Delaware Avenue, with proof of residency and no trucks larger than a pickup. Tires come off the rim and are limited to 5 per household. Tree and branch recycling runs three times a year at the City Maintenance Facility on SE Lorenz Drive, and leaf collection days run in October and November.
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.
A household with a couch, mattress, appliance, exercise machine or pile of extra trash that will not fit in the cart.
Cost & conditions
There is no city rate because each household contracts privately, so call the company that serves the address for the item price, the collection day and any special handling an appliance needs.
Arrange it
Call the hauler the address uses, list every item, ask whether an appliance or refrigerant unit needs special handling, and set the items out only for the agreed collection day.
Each company sets its own prices and its own list of what it will take, and construction and demolition material, hazardous waste and tires are not cart waste.
Private haulers under contract with Ankeny households, with Metro Waste Authority and the City of Ankeny Public Works

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.

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.

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.

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.
