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 for a fee at the Recycling Center Plus in household quantities, and the county fee schedule prices each kind of seating separately, from a love seat without a hide-a-bed up to a couch with a hide-a-bed or recliner.
City cost & eligibility
From $20 per single-section couch or sofa without a hide-a-bed or recliner at the Olmsted County Recycling Center Plus. Households at the Recycling Center Plus. A love seat or a sectional piece without a hide-a-bed or recliner is 15 dollars, a single-section couch without one is 20 dollars, a love seat or sectional piece with a hide-a-bed or recliner is 25 dollars, and a couch with a hide-a-bed or recliner is 30 dollars. A hauling company sets its own price.
When & how
Take the piece to the Recycling Center Plus at 305 Energy Parkway NE on a Tuesday to Saturday between 8 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., or ask the hauler on your account or a licensed Class D junk hauler to collect it and confirm the price.
Get it ready
Know which tier the piece falls into before you load it, because the county prices a hide-a-bed and recliner separately from a plain couch. Keep the furniture out of the garbage cart and off the boulevard, and check that the item is not waterlogged or full of loose debris that would change the load.
Self-hauling runs through the Recycling Center Plus
A self-hauler is a generator that does not contract with a Class A, Class B or Class C licensed hauler and instead brings its own material to the Recycling Center Plus at 305 Energy Parkway NE, and a self-hauler may not collect from anyone else for compensation. The drop-off opens Tuesday to Saturday from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., takes pre-sorted recyclables including aluminium cans, glass bottles and jars, cardboard, paper, plastics numbered 1, 2 and 5, tin and steel cans and clean scrap metal free of charge, and charges a service minimum plus per item fees for garbage, appliances, furniture, mattresses, electronics, tires, brush and construction material. Residential municipal waste that would otherwise reach the landfill must come here.
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.

Olmsted County Environmental Resources with licensed private haulers
Book a licensed Class D junk hauler for a one-time cleanout
A Rochester household that would rather have a garage, estate or apartment cleanout carried out and hauled away in one appointment.
Cost & conditions
The county licenses Class D haulers but does not publish their prices, and a Class D hauler also pays the county drop-off service charge of 190 dollars per ton when it disposes of mixed municipal waste at the county facility, which is part of what its quote has to cover. Ask for the all-in price for the load.
Arrange it
Call a company from the county's published Class D list, which names All Season Junk Removal, Benji's Odd Jobs & Junk Removal, Big Red Moving, Countryside Cleanup, Graham Services, Junk B Gone, Junk Dynasty, Junk It, Junk Pros, Junk Recyclers, Ochoa's Junk Removal & Hauling Services and Sunshine Junk Removal.
A Class D licence does not allow weekly garbage collection, and the hauler has to fill its own vehicle at the property rather than leaving a container for the customer to load, so the schedule has to be arranged around an appointment.
Pre-sorted recyclables free of charge, including aluminium cans, clear and coloured glass bottles and jars, corrugated cardboard, white office paper, newspaper, magazines, flyers, coloured paper, paperboard boxes, plastics numbered 1, 2 and 5, tin and steel food cans and clean scrap metal.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Couch removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Rochester.
How much does couch removal cost in Rochester?+
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.
What does a couch cost to get rid of in Rochester?+
At the county drop-off a single-section couch without a hide-a-bed or recliner is 20 dollars, a love seat or sectional piece without one is 15 dollars, a love seat or sectional piece with a hide-a-bed or recliner is 25 dollars, and a couch with a hide-a-bed or recliner is 30 dollars. A hauler or licensed junk hauler sets its own price, so ask before the pickup.Official guidance
How do I check one odd item before the trip?+
Use the county's own item lookup. The Recycling Center Plus page carries a waste wizard where you type the name of an item and the county tells you how to recycle or dispose of it, and the same page lists the free pre-sorted recyclables and the charged household items. The Environmental Resources office answers at 507-328-7070 for anything the wizard does not cover.Official guidance
