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.

City residents can set extra trash or bulky items at the curb at any time and request a pickup, with up to 20 bags or boxes, two pieces of furniture and two appliances qualifying.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. The City describes the extra trash and bulky item collection as a courtesy service included with residential trash service, with no charge published. It asks residents to use it as needed rather than weekly, and anything beyond the published limits is the property owner's responsibility and is handled by a private hauler.
When & how
Set the items at the curb first, then request the pickup through the CurbCycle app or the Department of Public Works at 812-376-2509, because a request is not fulfilled until the material is out and ready. There is no same-day guarantee, and the City aims to collect within 24 to 48 hours. Items may go out at any time rather than waiting for the trash day.
Get it ready
Keep the pile at the curb in an accessible spot away from obstructions, and keep televisions, monitors and screens, carpeting, lumber, shingles, concrete, fencing and construction or remodeling debris out of it entirely. Collections are not made on private streets, at not-for-profit agencies or businesses, or in alleys.
Up to two pieces of furniture qualify for the curbside extra trash and bulky item collection, which the City picks up after a request.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Up to two pieces of furniture are accepted at no charge through the City's courtesy extra trash and bulky item collection. A larger load is the property owner's responsibility and goes to a private hauler.
When & how
Set the pieces at the curb whenever convenient, then request the pickup through the CurbCycle app or at 812-376-2509. The City aims for collection within 24 to 48 hours and does not guarantee a same-day pickup.
Get it ready
Keep the pieces in an accessible spot at the curb away from obstructions, and keep carpeting out of the pile, because carpeting is on the refused list along with construction and remodeling debris.
Set the bulk pile out first, then request the pickup
Extra trash and bulky items can go to the curb at any time, but the City will not fulfill a request until the material is out and ready, so the pile goes out first and the request follows through the CurbCycle app or 812-376-2509. The City aims for 24 to 48 hours, does not promise same-day service, and asks residents to use the service as needed rather than weekly.
The curbside allowance is up to two pieces of furniture, up to two appliances and up to 20 bags or boxes of trash. Televisions, monitors and screens, carpeting, lumber, shingles, concrete, fencing, construction and remodeling debris, and clean-outs beyond 20 bags are refused, and a load like that is the property owner's responsibility through a private hauler.
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.
