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.
The town does not collect furniture, so a couch, chair or table goes to a Mecklenburg County full-service center as bulky waste, where one large item is free and a larger load is charged by the unit or by weight. A private hauler is the other local route.
City cost & eligibility
At a county full-service center one large bulky item such as a sofa, a chair or a table is no charge for a county resident with a blue sticker in a non-commercial vehicle. A load with more than one bulky item, or one past two 96-gallon cans and under three cubic yards, is charged at the published bulky waste rate per unit, and a weighed load is charged per ton with a load minimum. A private hauler sets its own price. Confirm which category your load falls into at the fee booth.
When & how
North Mecklenburg Disposal and Recycling Center, 12300 N. Statesville Road, Huntersville, Monday through Saturday 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. Business and non-residential loads and dump trailers are not allowed at that site on Saturdays, so a Saturday trip in a commercial vehicle needs one of the other centers.
Get it ready
Break the piece down where it comes apart and keep cushions, drawers and hardware with it so the load reads as one item. Metal bed frames, shelving and grills are accepted as scrap metal at the same centers, so separate the metal if you want it counted that way. Bring furniture already separated from renovation debris, because a mixed load is charged at the construction rate.
Mecklenburg County residents display a free blue entry sticker at the full-service centers and show proof of residence such as a driver's license. Without a sticker the load is charged at the out of county category, and a non-county resident can buy an annual sticker. Payment is by debit card or a major credit card except American Express, and the centers take no cash and no checks.
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.
Waste Pro under contract with the Town of Cornelius, and Mecklenburg County Solid Waste full-service centers
North Mecklenburg County disposal and recycling center
Furniture, mattresses and box springs, appliances and white goods, televisions, computer equipment, scrap metal, construction and demolition debris, shingles, wood, yard waste, tires and household hazardous waste from a county household.
Cost & conditions
One large bulky item such as a sofa, a chair, a table or a mattress set is no charge for a county resident with a blue sticker in a non-commercial vehicle. More bulky items or a load under three cubic yards is charged per unit for bulky waste and per unit for construction and demolition debris, and a weighed load is charged per ton with a load minimum. Laptops are free and other computers carry a set charge. Household hazardous waste is free for county residents. Confirm the category at the fee booth.
Arrange it
Drive to 12300 N. Statesville Road, Huntersville, NC 28078, open Monday through Saturday 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. Because of construction congestion, business and non-residential loads and dump trailers are not allowed there on Saturdays. The site is currently only selling bagged mulch and compost.
Loads must arrive separated by material, and a mixed load is not accepted or is charged at the construction rate. Delivery is capped at fourteen cubic yards, mattresses and box springs are limited to one each, computer equipment is limited to two items, tires are limited to five, and residential households are limited to two televisions per visit per month. The county does not accept ceramics such as picture frames and vases, or explosives, ammunition and radioactive items. Phone 311 or 980-314-3867.
Bulky items a household would rather have collected from the property instead of hauling to a county center.
Cost & conditions
The town states that residents may contract with a private hauler for bulk items, and each company sets its own price for the load, so the cost is quoted by the hauler you choose rather than published by the town.
Arrange it
Call a licensed private hauler or a junk removal company and describe the items, the access and the pickup address.
A private hauler is the route the town names for bulk items, but the town publishes no rate, no hauler list and no item guarantee, and hazardous material cannot be collected this way because household hazardous waste is free to county residents only at the county centers.
A Cornelius household hauls bulky material rather than setting it out, because the town provides garbage, recycling and yard waste collection only. Furniture, mattresses, appliances, televisions, computers, scrap metal, construction debris and household hazardous waste go to a Mecklenburg County full-service center, and the nearest is the North Mecklenburg center at 12300 N. Statesville Road in Huntersville, open Monday through Saturday 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. Loads must arrive separated by material, one large bulky item is free to a county resident with a blue sticker, and loads above fourteen cubic yards go to the Foxhole landfill in Charlotte. The town also lists the North Mecklenburg Landfill and the Highway 49 construction and demolition landfill for renovation material. Check the current hours, accepted items and rates before you load.

Couches, sofas, chairs, tables and other household furniture as bulky waste.
Mecklenburg County residents need the free blue entry sticker and proof of residence. One large bulky item is free in a non-commercial vehicle, and a second item moves the load to the per unit or weighed rate before solid waste taxes. Keep cushions and hardware with the piece so it counts as one item, separate any metal frame so it can go to scrap metal, and arrive with the load separated from renovation debris.
Monday through Saturday 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. Business and non-residential loads and dump trailers are not allowed on Saturdays. Closed on the county holidays, which in 2026 include New Year's Day, Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Good Friday, Memorial Day, Juneteenth, Independence Day, Labor Day, Veterans Day, Thanksgiving and Christmas.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Couch removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Cornelius.
How much does couch removal cost in Cornelius?+
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.
