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.

Furniture is accepted at the Recycle Ann Arbor drop-off sites with published per piece prices rather than at the curb.
City cost & eligibility
From $10 for the published Drop-Off Station furniture prices, which start with a dining or living room chair and rise for an upholstered chair, a love seat, a couch or sofa and a sleeper sofa, with the per day gate fee also applying. Residents and businesses bringing furniture to the Drop-Off Station or the Recovery Yard. Ann Arbor residents can waive the gate fee with the city pass, but the per item furniture price still applies, and credit card is the only accepted payment.
When & how
Drop off during posted hours, which are Tuesday and Thursday from 8:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. and Friday and Saturday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. at the Drop-Off Station, or Monday through Friday from 7:30 a.m. to 3:15 p.m. at the Recovery Yard, both closed on the weekend or the days each site lists.
Get it ready
Keep upholstery dry and the piece whole, bring help because both sites are self service for drop-off, and separate furniture from recyclable material so the gatehouse can price the load correctly. Sofa beds and sleepers carry a higher published price than a plain couch.
The city states that large items such as furniture, mattresses and appliances left at the curb will not be collected and can draw a fine, and that televisions, computers and other electronics and appliances containing freon are not cart material either. Those loads go instead to the Recycle Ann Arbor Drop-Off Station on East Ellsworth Road or to the Recovery Yard on Jackson Road.
The city pass that waives the Drop-Off Station gate fee
Ann Arbor residents can apply online at the city stream portal for a pass that waives the three dollar gate entry fee at the Drop-Off Station, with proof of residency required and commercial users excluded. The pass covers the entry fee only, so the per item disposal charges for large items and hard-to-recycle materials still apply, and the site takes credit card only.
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.
