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 free IndeCleanup pickup and at the Drop-Off Depot. The pickup guidance is specific: the piece has to be dry, clean and easy for crews to reach, and drawers must stay in the furniture rather than being removed.
City cost & eligibility
Furniture is free through the one-time IndeCleanup appointment, which is limited to five items and to single-family homes and buildings of six or fewer units, while the Drop-Off Depot charges by the vehicle carrying the load and a private hauler quotes its own rate. Confirm the route with the city on 816-325-2974 before the piece goes out.
When & how
Use the appointed pickup day during IndeCleanup week, or take the furniture to the Depot on the second Saturday from April to October between 8 AM and 3 PM.
Get it ready
Leave the drawers in the furniture, keep the piece dry and clean, make sure crews can reach it, and place it within 3 feet of the curb no earlier than 5 PM the day before and no later than 7 AM on collection day.
Independence states plainly that it does not provide residential trash service and that residents should contact a private trash hauler for weekly service. It publishes seven haulers licensed to operate in the city: AAA Disposal Service on 816-650-3180, Allied/Republic on 816-254-1470, Compost Connection on 816-761-8300, GFL Environmental on 816-380-5595, Stewart Hauling on 816-223-1920, Ted's Trash Service on 816-252-1594 and Waste Management on 913-631-3300, noting that some also offer recycling and that each company sets its own fees and schedules. The regional district's page for Independence adds a slightly different list of private subscription choices, so the two published lists are worth comparing before a household signs a contract.
The Drop-Off Depot charges by vehicle, with two exceptions
The Drop-Off Depot runs on the second Saturday of each month from April through October at 875 S. Vista Avenue, one mile east of M-291 on Truman Road north of Vista Avenue, from 8 AM to 3 PM, and during cleanup week it also adds a free depot day on Friday October 2 from 7 AM to 5 PM and a fee depot day on Saturday October 10 from 8 AM to 3 PM. The load price is set by the vehicle that carries it rather than by the contents, and when both the vehicle and the trailer carry material both are charged, with appliances and tires priced separately as the two published exceptions. Batteries and lawnmowers carry no fee. Entry is limited to Independence residents with a driver's license or recent utility bill, cash or local check only with no cards or coins, and loads must be tarped or secured under Missouri statute.
The free pickup and the paid depot accept different things
The one-time free IndeCleanup bulky item pickup and the Drop-Off Depot are not interchangeable, and the prohibited list at the pickup says so by pointing several items at the depot. The free pickup takes large and small appliances, auto parts, battery powered equipment with the batteries removed, a bed with its headboard, frame and mattress, bicycles, countertops and cabinets, drywall, carpet, empty cans and buckets, old trash cans and recycling bins, sinks and toilets and a water heater, up to five items per appointment for a single-family home or a building of six or fewer units. It refuses items containing refrigerant, tires, brush and lumber, dirt, tree stumps and trunks, lawn mowers and gas powered equipment, yard debris, commercial or industrial waste, demolition and construction waste, dead animals and animal bedding, household hazardous waste, abandoned vehicles and televisions, and several of those refusals are annotated as accepted at the Drop-Off Depots 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.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Couch removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Independence.
How much does couch removal cost in Independence?+
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 city take a couch?+
Yes, through the annual free bulky item pickup or at the Drop-Off Depot. The cleanup guidance says furniture and fixtures should be dry, clean and easy for crews to reach, and that drawers should not be removed from furniture. Each appointment is limited to five items and spots are limited, so the piece has to be listed when the pickup is reserved or taken to the depot instead.Official guidance
Who collects trash in Independence, Missouri?+
A private hauler the household hires, because the city states that it does not provide residential trash service and directs residents to contact a private trash hauler for weekly service. Seven haulers are listed as licensed to operate in the city with phone numbers, and the regional district's page lists a slightly different set of subscription choices, so both published lists are worth comparing before choosing.Official guidance
How should bulky items be prepared and placed?+
Carpet must be rolled and either over four feet long or 40 pounds to qualify, with smaller pieces going in the regular trash; furniture and fixtures must be dry, clean and easy for crews to reach, and drawers must not be removed from furniture; metal fencing and swing sets must be disassembled; and storm windows and glass panes must be marked with a large X of masking tape and stacked separately. Place everything within 3 feet of the curb no earlier than 5 PM the day before and no later than 7 AM on the collection day, at least 4 feet from the carts and clear of trees, mailboxes, lamp posts and parked vehicles.Official guidance
