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.
Akron takes furniture that will not fit in the cart on the normal weekly collection day, with no appointment. The city names couches, dressers, bookcases, doors and windows among the large items it picks up.
City cost & eligibility
The city publishes no separate fee for a large item set out on the normal collection day, and no appointment is required. The only charge printed on the city page is the one-time fee for an additional cart. Confirm anything unusual with the 3-1-1 Call Center at 330-375-2311.
When & how
Set the furniture out on your normal weekly collection day, three feet apart from the city cart, and have it at the curb by 4:30 a.m. A large volume of material rather than a single item is a separate Special Bulk Volume pickup that has to be arranged in advance.
Get it ready
Keep the piece out of the trash and recycling carts, break long pieces down where you can, and tie carpet, wood, brush, branches and fencing into bundles. Keep hazardous waste, construction and demolition material, concrete, drywall and roofing out of the pile, because none of it may go in a city cart.
Akron picks up furniture, dressers, mattresses, couches, televisions, bookcases, doors, bicycles, windows and tied bundles such as carpet, wood, brush, branches and fencing on the normal weekly collection day, with no appointment. Put the items at the curb by 4:30 a.m., at least three feet apart from the city cart and from anything else, and keep them out of the street and off the sidewalk.
A large amount of bags, boxes or trash after cleaning out a house, basement or garage, or after moving out, needs a Special Bulk Volume pickup. Each home is allowed three a year, the pickup has to be scheduled at least one working day before the collection day through 3-1-1 or 330-375-2311, and nothing should go to the curb before 4:30 p.m. the day before.
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.

Weekly curbside large item collection
Furniture, mattresses, couches, televisions, bookcases, doors, bicycles, windows and tied bundles of carpet, wood, brush, branches or fencing from a one, two or three family home in Akron.
Cost & conditions
The city publishes no separate fee for large items set out on the normal collection day, and no appointment is needed. Confirm anything unusual with the 3-1-1 Call Center at 330-375-2311.
Arrange it
Set the items out on the household's normal weekly collection day, at the curb by 4:30 a.m. and at least three feet from the city cart, which has to be out too because the city empties only its own carts.
Hazardous waste, roofing material, concrete, plaster, dirt, sand, gravel, bricks, drywall and demolition or construction material are not permitted in the carts and are not part of this route. A large volume of bags or boxes rather than individual items needs a Special Bulk Volume pickup.

Special Bulk Volume pickup
A household clearing out a house, basement, garage or apartment with a large amount of bags, boxes or trash that will not fit in the cart.
Cost & conditions
The city publishes no separate fee for a Special Bulk Volume pickup and allows three per home each year. Confirm the volume and timing with the 3-1-1 Call Center at 330-375-2311.
Arrange it
Schedule at least one working day before the collection day through 3-1-1 from a landline or 330-375-2311 from a cell phone, then put the material at the curb no earlier than 4:30 p.m. the day before the pickup.
Three pickups per home per year, and the material still cannot include hazardous waste, roofing material, concrete, plaster, dirt, sand, gravel, bricks, drywall or demolition and construction debris.
Most of Akron's bulky material never leaves the neighbourhood: furniture, mattresses, couches, televisions, bookcases, doors, bicycles, windows and tied bundles go out on the normal weekly collection day three feet from the city cart, and a whole cleanout uses one of three Special Bulk Volume pickups a year booked a working day ahead. What has to be hauled is the material the city and ReWorks both refuse at the curb: household chemicals, which go to the seasonal ReWorks collection at 1201 Graham Road in Stow on Thursdays during its season, and scrap tires, which ReWorks says have no free disposal option and which go to a tire vendor. Electronics are refused at the hazardous waste collection and move through a ReWorks Recycling Days event or a private recycler.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Couch removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Akron.
How much does couch removal cost in Akron?+
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.
Do I need an appointment to put a couch out in Akron?+
No. The city states that couches, dressers, bookcases, doors, windows, bicycles and other large items are picked up on a weekly basis when they are set out on the normal collection day, three feet apart from the city cart. An appointment is only needed for a Special Bulk Volume pickup, which covers a large amount of bags, boxes or trash.Official guidance
