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.
Household furniture is the material the five annual bulky collections are there to take, so a couch goes out on one of those pickups as part of the basic residential package rather than in the garbage cart.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Included in the basic residential service package inside the five collections a year and the five item limit at each one.
When & how
Call the hauler assigned to the address to arrange the bulky pickup and set the piece out on the arranged day.
Get it ready
Count the piece against the five item limit, keep the pile clear of the street and sidewalk, and keep construction debris, paint and electronics out of the same pile.
Basic residential service in Decatur covers once weekly collection of one garbage cart, weekly recycling, and unlimited weekly yard waste from March 1 through December 15 plus one additional pickup in January and one in February. It also includes five separate bulky waste collections a year with up to five items at each one, and a pickup may carry only one household appliance such as a refrigerator, oven or dishwasher along with no more than four other items. Expanded basic service adds a second garbage cart. Carts come in 64 or 96 gallon sizes and the hauler provides them.
Even though the hauling is private, Decatur fixes several protections for residents: a hauler that misses an entire weekly collection cycle has to credit half of one month's rate, the city may reassign a whole neighborhood to a different hauler after a substantive pattern of poor service, an overage fee for excess garbage or bulky waste requires the hauler to hold photographic evidence and produce it on request, and a customer may pause collection for at least two months once a year for a one time 5 dollar stop and start fee. Residents who cannot place containers at the curb and have nobody at home who can get back door service at no charge once the hauler has medical verification.
Yard waste goes out in any combination of biodegradable bags, stick bundles and privately owned containers marked yard waste only, with stickers available at the Civic Center box office in the main lobby, the second floor cashier windows and the Community Development Department on the third floor. Recycling reaches single-family homes and residences with up to six units, the assigned hauler runs the weekly collection, and the recycling fee is assessed on the water bill, with properties that do not use city water billed quarterly. If a recycling problem is not resolved with the hauler, the city may help at 217-424-2727.
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.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Couch removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Decatur.
How much does couch removal cost in Decatur?+
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.
Will Decatur haulers take a couch?+
Yes, as a bulky item. Basic residential service includes five bulky waste collections a year with up to five items each, and furniture is the kind of household item those collections carry. The resident calls the hauler assigned to the address to arrange it, keeping the piece within the five item limit for that pickup.Official guidance
Who collects trash in Decatur?+
A private hauler the city licenses and assigns to each address, not a city crew. The city prints the contact numbers for GFL at 217-935-5652, Waste Management at 800-796-9696, Jeremy Doolin Disposal at 217-422-5298, Doolin Disposal at 217-423-1680 and Murrell's Disposal at 217-519-0910, and it sets what the service package has to include, from the weekly carts to five bulky collections a year. The city can assist with a recycling problem at 217-424-2727 once the resident has contacted the hauler first.Official guidance
