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.
Furniture is named twice over, once in the city's own description of the bulk item service and again on the flyer list of large bulk items, so a couch has a published route. It is not a curbside pile on the ordinary round: a resident reports the piece to the Division of Solid Waste and the city arranges a special pickup.
City cost & eligibility
The city publishes the bulk special pickup and how to arrange it but no fee for it, so confirm the piece and any charge with the Division of Solid Waste on 609-989-3175 between 7:30 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. on weekdays. Nothing describes a minimum quantity or a charge for a single sofa.
When & how
Call 609-989-3175 on a weekday to report the piece and book the special pickup, and keep it off the curb until the pickup is arranged. The ordinary collection round still runs, and garbage has to be out by 7 a.m. on the collection day and no earlier than 10 p.m. the night before.
Get it ready
Keep the furniture separate from the garbage cans and out of the recycling buckets, because the flyer warns that trash placed in recycling buckets will not be picked up. Keep the piece under the 50 pound limit that applies to any can or bag at the curb if it is going out as bagged rubbish instead, keep the pile to five items at most because that is the one time limit the city publishes, and keep living room clutter clear of the sidewalk while it waits.
On the regular round, garbage can be placed at the curb no earlier than 10 p.m. the night before collection and by 7 a.m. on the day of pickup. No can or bag at the curb may exceed 50 pounds, and containers are required for homeowners and renters rather than optional. A bulky item is different, because it waits until the special pickup has been arranged rather than going out on the ordinary round.
The 2026 flyer lists the municipal holidays on which buildings close and no garbage is collected, and it warns that placing garbage on the curb on a legal holiday may result in a fine under the city ordinance. There is also no commercial cardboard or commercial glass collection on a holiday, and material that has been placed out has to be removed immediately rather than left waiting for the next round.
The flyer states that trash placed in recycling buckets will not be picked up, and that recyclables shall be disposed of separately from trash as a matter of law. Recycling questions go to the Mercer County Improvement Authority rather than the city, and Trenton shares the Wednesday recycling run with Robbinsville under the 2026 county schedule. On a holiday week, recycling that would fall on one of six listed dates moves to the following Saturday.
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.
City of Trenton Division of Solid Waste Management, with Mercer County for recycling and hazardous waste
Book the city special pickup for bulk items
A Trenton household with furniture, a household appliance, a bagged mattress or another large item that the ordinary round will not take.
Cost & conditions
The city publishes the special pickup, the scheduling number and the five item limit but no rate for the service, so confirm the load and any charge with the Division of Solid Waste on 609-989-3175 between 7:30 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. on weekdays.
Arrange it
Call 609-989-3175 on a weekday to report the items and book the pickup, and keep the pile off the curb until the arrangement is made. Mattresses have to be bagged first, with up to two bags per household per year available at the solid waste office on 707 Calhoun Street between 8:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m.
No more than five items are collected at one time, and every bag or can that goes out on the ordinary round is capped at 50 pounds. Trash cannot go in a recycling bucket, and material placed out on a legal holiday may bring a fine, so the pile has to be timed around the holiday calendar.

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.
