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.

Oversize material goes out curbside on the Metro Waste Authority sticker programme. A bag or box of trash and a small television take the cheapest sticker, furniture and a twin mattress take a mid range sticker, a queen or king mattress takes two, and a curbside appliance takes a seven sticker set that has to be scheduled by telephone first.
City cost & eligibility
From $1 for the smallest published large and extra item sticker, with larger items needing more stickers from the same published chart. Available to households in communities served by the programme, with the item counts published for communities using the orange sticker. Stickers are bought online for delivery or from grocery and hardware store service desks and city halls, and the number needed depends on the community, so the city directs residents to the authority for their own requirement.
When & how
Buy the stickers, then put the material out on the normal collection day with the sticker attached, keeping extra items at least six feet from the garbage cart. A curbside appliance has to be scheduled on the authority line before it is set out.
Get it ready
Attach the correct number of stickers for the item and keep refuse out of the sticker load, because bagged and boxed trash inside the cart is separate from the sticker programme. Drained equipment, such as a push mower or snow blower with the fuel and oil removed and a grill with no propane tank, is what the published counts cover.
A couch or love seat, desk, table, sectional piece, crib, entertainment centre or up to four kitchen chairs each take one mid range sticker at the curb, and the same furniture is free during the Spring Cleanup week inside a one truckload limit.
City cost & eligibility
$5 for one published large item sticker for a couch, love seat, desk, table or single sectional piece. Used curbside with the sticker attached on the normal collection day. A sectional takes one sticker per piece, up to four kitchen chairs are covered by one sticker, and the same items are also free at Spring Cleanup for households that receive city collection.
When & how
Put the piece out on the normal collection day with the sticker attached, or hold it for the Spring Cleanup week in early June, when items go out on the normal garbage day.
Get it ready
Take the pieces down so two people can lift them safely, because Spring Cleanup refuses anything heavier than that. Keep glass, mirrors, doors, construction material and bagged household trash out of the load, since glass and bagged items are refused at Spring Cleanup and refuse belongs in the cart or on its own sticker.
Oversize items and extra trash go out with the Metro Waste Authority sticker attached, and the number of stickers rises with the item: one for a bag or box of trash under thirty pounds, one for a small television, one for a couch, love seat, desk, table, up to four kitchen chairs, a toilet base or tank, a window or a twin mattress, two for a queen or king mattress or box spring, and seven for a curbside appliance. Keep extra items at least six feet from the garbage cart, and call the authority to schedule an appliance pickup before it goes out.
Spring Cleanup takes one truckload, on the normal garbage day
Spring Cleanup is free to households that receive city collection, runs in the published collection week in the first days of June, and takes household items that do not fit the cart, including couches, end tables, mattresses, televisions, monitors, fans, lamps, grills with the propane tank removed, and carpet rolled and secured to no more than four feet by eighteen inches. The whole pile has to fit in the bed of one standard pickup truck or it is all left behind, every item has to be light enough for two people to lift safely, and items go out no earlier than 5:00 pm the night before and no later than 6:00 am on the collection day. Appliances, construction material, tires, glass, bagged or boxed items, propane tanks and hazardous material are all refused.
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.

Use a large item sticker at the curb
A West Des Moines household with furniture, a mattress, a small television, extra trash or an appliance to clear on the normal collection day.
Cost & conditions
From $1 for the smallest published large and extra item sticker, with the item counts rising to a seven sticker set for a curbside appliance. Available on the published terms for communities in the programme, with stickers bought online for delivery or at grocery and hardware store service desks and city halls. The number of stickers depends on the community, so the city directs residents to the authority to check their own requirement.
Arrange it
Buy the stickers, attach them to the items, set the material out on the normal collection day at least six feet from the garbage cart, and call the authority to schedule an appliance pickup before an appliance goes out.
The sticker programme covers what the chart lists, so household garbage inside the cart is separate and construction material, tires and hazardous material are not part of it at all. An appliance has to be scheduled by telephone first, and televisions need the count confirmed because the published figures differ by screen size.

Hold the big items for Spring Cleanup week
A West Des Moines household that receives city collection and has furniture, mattresses, televisions or other bulky household items that fit in one truckload.
Cost & conditions
No charge. Free to West Des Moines residents who receive city provided garbage collection, with the pile limited to one standard pickup truck bed and every item light enough for two people to lift safely. A pile larger than one truckload is left behind in full.
Arrange it
Put the items at the curb on the normal garbage collection day during the published collection week in early June, no earlier than 5:00 pm the night before and no later than 6:00 am on the collection day.
Appliances, construction and demolition material, concrete, asphalt shingles, fencing, playsets, yard waste, bagged or boxed items, glass, tires, vehicles, propane tanks and hazardous material are all refused, and anything the hauler leaves becomes the resident's responsibility to dispose of.
Arrange a private haul for a project or an excluded load
A West Des Moines household or contractor with construction material or a heavy load that the city's routes refuse.
Cost & conditions
No city service covers construction material and the city publishes no rate for it, so the price is the hauler's or the receiving site's. The terms are confirmed with the hauler before the load is built, because the material is refused at Spring Cleanup and at the scrap metal event.
Arrange it
Contact a hauler serving West Des Moines, describe the material and the access at the property, and confirm where the load goes and what it costs.
Construction and demolition waste, concrete, asphalt shingles, fencing, playsets, home improvement debris, wood and plastics are all outside the city's routes, so they cannot be hidden in a sticker load or a Spring Cleanup pile.

How much does couch removal cost in West Des Moines?+
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.
