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.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Couch removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Philadelphia.
How much does couch removal cost in Philadelphia?+
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.
Can a Philadelphia couch go with regular trash?
The city lists compactible sofas under its regular curbside allowance, limited to two items a week. Furniture that cannot use regular collection needs the bulk appointment or drop-off route; ask the city to classify an unusual frame.
Should I dismantle a couch for a Philadelphia bulk appointment?
No. The special household-furniture collection instructions say not to dismantle it. Book the item first and follow the confirmed appointment instructions.
Can an apartment building book Philadelphia couch collection?
The special bulk program covers residences with up to six units. Larger apartment buildings, condominiums and commercial properties must use a private hauler. A property already using private collection is not eligible for ordinary municipal service.
What vehicle can I use to drop off a Philadelphia couch?
Bring proof of Philadelphia residency and use a vehicle with a total weight below 6,000 pounds. Oversized-item visits are limited to once a week, with up to two bulk items per day. Commercial loads and contractors are excluded.
Ask Philadelphia ReStore to approve it under the current donation guidelines. It accepts eligible furniture in overall excellent condition at 2318 Washington Avenue and offers free pickup for qualifying donations; priority partner pickup has separate terms.
