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.

Couches, sofas and furniture

Accepted with preparation

A couch, love seat, chair or bed frame is the kind of bulk item the weekly collection takes, one piece at a time.

City cost & eligibility
No charge. One furniture piece counts as the single weekly bulk item that is included with the refuse service the household already pays for, with no separate charge for that piece. A second piece or a heavier piece is scheduled and charged directly by LRS.
When & how
Set the piece beside the trash cart on the regular collection day, or schedule it with LRS at least 24 hours ahead if it is a second item or needs extra handling.
Get it ready
Keep the piece whole unless it comes apart easily, leave it beside the cart rather than in the street, and note that a sectional counts one piece at a time. Upholstered items should stay dry so they can be lifted safely.

The handoff matters

Right item.
Right place.

One bulk item a week, and everything else by appointment

A single bulk item such as furniture, a bed frame or a mattress may sit next to the trash cart on the regular collection day. A second item, anything over 50 pounds, and any item needing extra labor or equipment has to be scheduled with LRS at least 24 hours ahead and is charged directly, and LRS will give a cost estimate for a special refuse collection.

For your Dropcurb pickup

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.

With a new purchase

Schedule an extra or heavy pickup with LRS

A household with more than one bulk item, an item over 50 pounds, or a sleeper sofa and similar piece that needs extra labor.

Cost & conditions
Extra pickups are charged directly by LRS and no amount is published, so call 844-633-3577 at least 24 hours before the wanted date to schedule the collection and confirm the price.
Arrange it
Call LRS customer service, list the items, send a photo if the item is awkward or heavy, and pay the quoted amount before the items go to the curb.

An item that is not scheduled is left behind, and the single weekly bulk item is the only large item the ordinary collection takes without a call.

Taking it somewhere yourself?

A Waukegan household that hauls its own material has three routes. Electronics go to the city dumpster at the Public Works yard on McAree Road on weekdays, or to a SWALCO year round drop-off such as the Wauconda site on North Old Rand Road, which is free to Lake County residents with no appointment and a limit of seven items per visit. Tires go to a separate dumpster in the same Public Works yard and have to be off the rims, and the textile bin just outside the gate is open around the clock. Household chemicals, paint, batteries, bulbs and pool products go to the SWALCO facility at 1311 N. Estes Street in Gurnee, which takes residential waste only and works by appointment twice a month except December, with mobile events from April through October. Leftover architectural paint can also go to a PaintCare retailer, and household batteries are free at the SWALCO collection and special material events.

Before you book

A few things
worth knowing.

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

How much does couch removal cost in Waukegan?

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 the hauler take a couch or sofa?

Yes. The hauler names a love seat or sofa and one part of a sectional couch among the examples of a bulk item that can go out with the weekly collection, and a chair, bed frame or wall picture is treated the same way, one item a week.Official guidance

How should furniture be set out?

Place it next to the trash cart on the regular collection day, keep it out of the street, and schedule anything over 50 pounds or anything beyond the single weekly item with LRS in advance. A sleeper sofa may be handled as a special refuse collection with an estimate rather than as the ordinary bulk item.Official guidance
