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 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 on the city's bulky waste list and the set-out area is described as about the size of a full-size couch, so a couch goes out on one of the two annual bulky collections.
City cost & eligibility
No rate is published for the bulky collection, so confirm the charge with Waste Connections at (712) 890-5549 when the collection is booked.
When & how
Call Waste Connections at (712) 890-5549 to schedule the bulky collection, noting that only one may be scheduled per collection day.
Get it ready
Keep the piece inside the eight by four by four set-out area, place it neatly at the curb, and keep construction debris, garbage, recycling and yard waste out of the same load.
A Council Bluffs bulky load has to fit in an area eight feet long, four feet wide and four feet high, which the city equates to a full-size couch. Carpet is bundled into four foot lengths no thicker than two feet or heavier than sixty pounds, loose items are bagged at thirty pounds or less, and every mattress and box spring must be bagged or completely covered in plastic shrink wrap. Items go neatly at the curb, one bulky pickup may be scheduled per collection day, and bulky and appliance pick-ups cannot be combined.
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.

Waste Connections appliance and bulky collections
A Council Bluffs household with up to two appliance pick-ups and two bulky waste pick-ups a year, covering furniture, mattresses, toilets, bathtubs, carpets and electronics.

Arrange it
Call Waste Connections at (712) 890-5549 to schedule, remembering that each appliance counts individually toward the two appliance pick-ups, that only one bulky pickup may be scheduled per collection day, and that the two types cannot be combined.
A bulky load must fit in an eight by four by four area, loose items are bagged at thirty pounds or less, mattresses and box springs must be bagged or shrink wrapped, and construction debris, garbage, recycling and yard waste are excluded from bulky waste.
Self-haul in Council Bluffs means the Council Bluffs Recycling Center at 4441 Gifford Rd, open Monday to Friday 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Saturday 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. It takes household recyclables alongside construction debris, electronics and household hazardous material, charges construction material by the ton with a ten dollar minimum per load, charges electronics at forty-five cents a pound on the scale, and requires payment at the time of service.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Couch removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Council Bluffs.
How much does couch removal cost in Council Bluffs?+
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.
Where does a couch go in Council Bluffs?+
On one of the two bulky waste collections each household gets each year, scheduled with Waste Connections at (712) 890-5549. Furniture is named on the bulky list, the set-out area is eight feet long by four feet wide by four feet high, which the city describes as a full-size couch, and no rate is published for the service. Construction debris, garbage, recycling and yard waste cannot be part of that load.Official guidance
Who collects trash in Council Bluffs?+
Waste Connections collects under the city contract and is the single number for scheduling, missed collections and account questions at (712) 890-5549. The contract covers weekly garbage and yard waste, single stream recycling every other week, seasonal yard waste between April 15 and May 31 and again between October 15 and November 30, two appliance collections and two bulky waste collections a year, and a special collection for residents with disabilities. The WasteConnect app shows the collection day for an address.Official guidance
Where do Council Bluffs paint, oil and batteries go?+
To the Council Bluffs Recycling Center at 4441 Gifford Rd, but only during the hazardous material window: Tuesday through Friday from 10:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. and the second Saturday from 8:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., and closed Monday. Cleaning products, automotive fluids and filters, pesticides, latex, oil, spray and stain paint, rechargeable batteries, fluorescent tubes and bulbs, cooking oil and bagged vape devices are accepted. Leave material in its original container, bring a driver's licence, and expect a short questionnaire.Official guidance
What does Council Bluffs charge for large items?+
The city publishes the allowance rather than a rate: two appliance pick-ups and two bulky waste pick-ups a year, arranged with Waste Connections at (712) 890-5549, so the collection charge is confirmed with the hauler. Drop-off rates at the Recycling Center are published, with construction material charged by the ton and a ten dollar minimum per load, and electronics at forty-five cents a pound weighed on arrival.Official guidance
