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 household may set out one bulk item a week alongside its barrels, where a bulk item is something that will not fit in a barrel but can still be collected and crushed by the trash truck.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Waltham households on the city collection route, including each family or resident in a multi-family building with six or fewer units. The weekly allowance is part of the collection service and the City publishes no separate charge for it, but the item has to fall within the published definition and anything over 100 pounds has to be called in first.
When & how
Once each week on the regular collection day, alongside the barrels rather than on a separate appointment.
Get it ready
Use the item only if it does not fit in a barrel yet can still be collected and crushed by the truck. Chairs, couches, dressers, bookcases and humidifiers are the published examples, and auto parts and bags of trash are excluded. Each piece of a sectional couch counts as its own bulk item and has to go out in separate weeks, and the City requires a call before anything over 100 pounds goes out.
One bulk item a week, and a call before heavy pieces
A household may put out one bulk item each week next to the barrels, and the item has to be something that will not fit in a barrel but can still be collected and crushed by the truck. Each section of a sectional couch counts as its own item and goes out in a different week, and the City requires a call before anything over 100 pounds goes out.
The city route serves buildings of six units or fewer
The City collection covers buildings with six or fewer units, and each family or resident in one of those buildings keeps its own weekly bulk allowance. A larger apartment building or condo complex arranges collection through building management, the condo association or a private company instead.
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.
City of Waltham Recycling Department with Capitol Waste Services and the regional household hazardous waste events
City weekly collection
A Waltham household in a building with six or fewer units, where the City runs one weekly collection day for trash and recycling.
Cost & conditions
No charge. Waltham households on the city collection route, which serves buildings with six or fewer units as a municipal service without a separately published per household charge.
Arrange it
Look up the collection day for the address on the City map, set the barrels and the blue cart out by 7 a.m. with the lids closed, and report a missed collection on the city line rather than waiting at the curb.
The route takes household trash and recyclables only, with no construction material, no mattress or textile, and no screen, appliance or chemical, each of which needs its own route.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Couch removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Waltham.
How much does couch removal cost in Waltham?+
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 many bulk items can go out each week?+
One item a week, in addition to the barrels, and each household in a multi-family building with six or fewer units has the same allowance beside its own barrels. A sectional couch is not one item, because each section counts separately and has to be set out in a different week.Official guidance
Who collects the trash in Waltham?+
The City runs the residential collection and a contracted hauler does the work, while the Recycling Department handles carts, disposal questions and the special appointments. The route serves buildings with six or fewer units, and a larger building arranges its own service.Official guidance
How do I find my collection day?+
The City publishes a pickup map that returns the trash and recycling day for an address, and the same map reports the A week or B week assignment used for yard waste. Trash and recycling are collected weekly on that day, and a holiday week pushes the rest of the week one day later.Official guidance
Who do I call about a missed pickup?+
Report a missed trash, recycling or yard waste collection on the city line during weekday hours, and the department can follow up with the hauler on the route. If the material went out after 7 a.m., do not call, because the City asks residents to hold it for the following week instead.Official guidance
How do I get another recycling cart?+
Call the Recycling Department, which supplies the household cart and takes requests for an extra one. A broken cart is repaired or replaced through the same call, and only the wheeled carts the City distributed are collected at the curb.Official guidance
What if my building has more than six units?+
The city collection route and the contracted mattress appointment both apply to buildings with six or fewer units, so a larger apartment building or condo complex arranges trash, recycling and bedding collection through building management, the condo association or a private company. The City also publishes a directory of donation and reuse options for residents in that situation.Official guidance
Does Waltham hold a recycling event?+
The City holds an annual Zero Waste Day at Nipper Maher Park where clothing, car tires, electronics, books and metal are recycled at no charge along with paper shredding. The date published in the current guide has already passed, so confirm the next date with the Recycling Department.Official guidance
