Book by 2pm for same-day pickup.

Choose items or browse the full catalog.

A sofa ready outside an open doorway, with an empty room behind it and a clear path alongside.
Once it’s outside, we handle the loading and haul-away.

Ready for it to go

The old sofa can stop holding up your plans.

You know it needs to go. The price, the pickup day and knowing it is done should be easy to settle, too.

A replacement is on the way.

Give the old couch its own pickup day. Check what your retailer will remove, then book the part you still need handled.

The move has enough moving parts.

See the price before you book and choose from the available dates. One less job to arrange before handing back the keys.

You are ready for the space back.

You do not need a whole room to clear. Book the sofa, recliner or sectional that needs to go, and follow the pickup through updates and photos.

The right sofa. The right price.

Count the sections, not the cushions.

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.

Three structural sectional modules slightly separated, with all cushions remaining on their bases.
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.

City of Alton Public Works with Republic Services

Schedule the free bulk item pickup

A single family home in Alton with a couch, a mattress set, carpet, furniture or the glass portions of doors and windows to dispose of.

Cost & conditions
No charge. Bulk pickup is free for single family homes, with up to five items collected four times per year at no charge and each item under 50 pounds, arranged by calling Republic Services at 618.656.6883.
Arrange it
Call Republic Services at 618.656.6883 to schedule, then put the items at the curb by 6 a.m. on the scheduled collection day.

Only the listed acceptable items are taken, appliances, electronic waste, batteries, concrete and construction material, fluorescent bulbs, tires, yard waste and paint are refused, and the schedule is limited to four pickups a year of five items each.

Taking it somewhere yourself?

Alton's collection is contracted to Republic Services, and the city hosts the hauler flyers that carry the rules. Carts and bulk items both go out by 6 a.m., with carts set five feet clear of anything that could block the automated arm and one foot from the curb. Bulk pickup is the standout: single family homes can schedule up to five items four times a year at no charge through Republic Services at 618.656.6883, and the acceptable list covers carpet, mattress sets, couches, chairs, dressers, tables, desks and the glass portions of doors and windows, each item under 50 pounds, with carpet rolled into bundles no longer than four feet and glass boxed and marked. The flyer refuses appliances, electronic waste and batteries, concrete and construction material, fluorescent bulbs, tires, yard waste and paint, and the recycling cart refuses electronics and batteries, construction waste and yard waste as well. The city page that promises e-waste and hazardous waste information renders no readable content, so those streams have to be confirmed with the hauler or the city Public Works office before anything leaves the property.

Before you book

A few things
worth knowing.

Couch removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Alton.

How much does couch removal cost in Alton?

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.
