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 couch, dresser, table or chair is exactly the kind of large household item the town's fee based bulk collection is written for. It cannot ride the garbage cart, which takes household trash only and collects nothing left beside it, so furniture has to be on a booked bulk day.
City cost & eligibility
From $30 for trip fee when 1 or 2 bulk items are booked together, with 15 dollars per item once 3 or more items are scheduled. Apex residential addresses on a booked bulk day. The fee is added to the next Town of Apex utility bill, and the service is not available for businesses or apartments.
When & how
Book the pickup and have the furniture at the curb by 6 am on the confirmed day. The crew works at the curb only, so furniture has to come out of the house or garage before the truck arrives.
Get it ready
Take the piece apart where it comes apart and keep the parts in one pile, remove or bag the cushions, keep the pile clear of the cart, and offer anything still usable for donation before it becomes a bulk item.
Carts out the night before, bulk items at the curb by 6 am
Garbage and recycling are collected weekly on the same collection day, and the town asks that carts be rolled to the curb the night before. Bulk items follow a different clock: once your pickup is confirmed, everything has to be at the curb by 6 am on the collection day, because the crew will not enter private property. Space carts 3 to 4 feet apart so the automated arm can reach each one.
The garbage cart takes household trash only, preferably bagged, and anything left beside a full cart is not collected. Yard waste, brush, construction debris, automotive parts including tires, hazardous waste, hot ashes, metal and corrugated cardboard are all prohibited, which is why a couch, a mattress or an appliance never rides the cart either. Recycling goes in the recycling cart loose and never bagged, with the lid closed and nothing outside.
Booked pickups, the confirmation email and the Friday bed rule
Request a bulk pickup through the town's online service request form or through Ask Apex at (919) 249-3311. An email confirming the collection day arrives within 1 to 2 business days, the service is not available to businesses or apartments, and mattresses and box springs are collected on Fridays only, with each piece counted as its own item. Wrap or box fragile pieces such as mirrors and glass so nothing scatters, and flatten moving boxes completely because the town charges bulk rates when boxes are not empty and flattened.
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 Apex.
How much does couch removal cost in Apex?+
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.

Yes, on a booked bulk day. A couch is a large household item, and the town's bulk collection removes those from the curb for a fee that is added to your utility bill.
