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.
A couch, dresser or chair sits inside the operator's unlimited bulky item list, so furniture is collected with the regular weekly refuse service instead of needing its own appointment. A piece the crew judges oversized or overweight is the exception and may need a special arrangement.
City cost & eligibility
Furniture is collected as part of the refuse service the household already pays for, so no separate per item price is published for a standard couch or chair. The operator states that a piece too big or too heavy for its crew may be left behind and that special arrangements then carry special charges, so confirm with Groot on 847-734-6400 if the piece is unusually large or heavy.
When & how
Set furniture at the curb on the normal collection day by 7 a.m., or book a special arrangement with Groot if the crew has to use equipment to lift it.
Get it ready
Keep the piece out of the carts, remove loose cushions and drawers so nothing blows away, and keep anything reusable out of the pile and offer it for donation first.
The village divides Arlington Heights into four quadrants so that refuse, recycling and landscape waste are all collected on the same day, with the operator working between 7 a.m. and 6 p.m. Everything has to be at the curb by 7 a.m. and the hauler will not come back for anything that was not out. Carts may not sit in the street, must be 10 feet from parkway trees and mailboxes and 4 feet from other carts, must come off the curb by 8 a.m. the day after collection, and may not be stored in the front yard. A holiday on a Saturday changes nothing, while a holiday on a Sunday or a weekday pushes the rest of that week back one day.
This is the unusual part of the Arlington Heights program: the operator publishes unlimited bulky items on the regular residential service and names furniture such as a couch, dresser or chair, a mattress and box spring, a lawn mower, a bicycle and a grill. White goods are also named, covering refrigerators, freezers, air conditioners, washers, dryers, dishwashers, hot water tanks and dehumidifiers, collected once a week at no extra cost when the household calls Groot on 800.244.1977 to schedule and keeps the unit off the curb until the evening before. Up to one cubic yard of construction material a week is collected at no additional charge as well. The counterweight to all of this is the operator's own warning that a piece too big or too heavy for its crew may be left behind, in which case a special arrangement and a special charge follow.
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.
Groot Recycling & Waste Services, the Village of Arlington Heights contracted hauler
Put standard large items out with the weekly Groot collection
Any Arlington Heights household on the village contract with a couch, mattress, appliance, grill, bicycle or a cubic yard of renovation material to clear.
Cost & conditions
The bulky items are part of the refuse service the household already pays for rather than a separate priced product, so no per item figure is published for a standard piece. The operator states that an oversized or overweight item may be left for a special arrangement and that special charges then apply, and that extra or off-day pickups carry an extra charge. Confirm with Groot on 847-734-6400 if the item is unusually heavy.
Arrange it
Put the material at the curb on the household's quadrant collection day with everything out by 7 a.m., or call Groot first if the piece needs equipment to lift.
Electronics, hazardous waste, paint, tires and anything larger than one cubic yard of construction material are outside the ordinary weekly service, and a crew may decline a piece that is too big or too heavy for it to handle safely.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Couch removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Arlington Heights.
How much does couch removal cost in Arlington Heights?+
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 do I get rid of a couch in Arlington Heights?+
Put it out with the regular weekly collection. The operator's Arlington Heights page lists furniture such as a couch, dresser or chair under unlimited bulky items, and the village has refuse, recycling and landscape waste collected on the same day in each quadrant. A couch that is too large or too heavy for the crew may be left so a special arrangement can be made.Official guidance
Who collects trash in Arlington Heights?+
Groot Recycling & Waste Services, under a contract with the village. The village splits town into four quadrants so refuse, recycling and landscape waste are collected on the same day, supplies 35, 65 or 95 gallon carts, and publishes senior, active military and low income discount programs. Anything not at the curb by 7 a.m. is not collected that day.Official guidance
