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 or other household furniture goes out as the weekly bulky item with the normal trash, as long as it is not hazardous material and not so large or heavy that the crews refuse it.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. One bulky item a week is included in the combined monthly residential service charge for properties on city curbside collection, with four bags of trash allowed the same week.
When & how
Out with the normal trash on the collection day for the address. Trash and recycling run Monday to Friday except on certain holidays, and the day is confirmed on the city schedule.
Get it ready
Take the piece down as far as it will go and keep cushions and loose parts with the frame. The city states that excessively large or heavy items will not be collected and directs those loads to a private hauler or junk removal company, so measure anything unusual before the collection day.
A property on city collection may set out four trash bags of up to 55 gallons each, plus one bulky item, on the collection day for the address. Mattresses and box springs each count as one bulky item and go out in separate weeks.
Hazardous items labelled caution, flammable, toxic, corrosive, poison, danger, explosive, warning or volatile cannot go out at all, so paint, automobile fluids, pesticides and household chemicals take a different route. A refrigerator, freezer or air conditioner is refused unless a certified technician has removed the refrigerant and tagged the unit.
Construction debris heavier than 70 pounds or longer than three feet is not collected, and construction material has to be in a separate container or bundle. The city states that excessively large or heavy items of any kind are left for a private hauler or junk removal company.
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 Reading Public Works, with Berks County Solid Waste Authority for hazardous waste
Weekly bulky item with the normal trash
A property on city collection with one couch, mattress, non-cooling appliance, exercise machine or small construction bundle to clear each week.
Cost & conditions
No charge. One bulky item a week is included in the combined monthly residential service charge for properties of six or fewer units on city collection, alongside four bags of trash a week.
Arrange it
Set the item out with the normal trash on the collection day for the address, which the city schedule confirms. Mattresses and box springs are wrapped in plastic and go out in separate weeks, and cooling appliances need the technician tag attached first.
Hazardous material, cooling appliances without the technician tag, construction debris over 70 pounds or three feet, and excessively large or heavy items are refused. Only one bulky item is allowed each week, so a multi-piece clean-out takes repeated weeks or a private hauler.
City of Reading Public Works, with Berks County Solid Waste Authority for hazardous waste
Berks County household hazardous waste collection days
A household with paint, automobile fluids, pesticides, herbicides, household chemicals or anything labelled caution, flammable, toxic, corrosive, poison, danger, explosive, warning or volatile.
Cost & conditions
The city routes household hazardous waste to the Berks County Solid Waste Authority collection days and publishes no city rate or fee, so confirm the current schedule and any charge with the county before loading.
Arrange it
Check the county collection day schedule, or ask a private hauler about a home pickup. Medications can go to the county medication drop box programme, with a box at the Reading Police Department in City Hall for use during normal City Hall hours.
The city publishes no city-run hazardous waste site, so timing follows the county schedule. Sharps should go back to a doctor in a sharps container, or failing that into a puncture resistant container that is taped and labelled and placed in the garbage.
A household with an item the city calls excessively large or heavy, construction debris beyond the size limits, or a clean-out larger than the weekly allowance.
Cost & conditions
The city names private haulers and junk removal services as the route for oversized items but publishes no rate, so the charge is quoted by whichever company the household chooses.
Arrange it
Contact a private hauler or junk removal company directly, and confirm what the load includes and where it will be taken. The city's own service stops at four bags and one bulky item a week.
The city does not endorse or price these companies, and hazardous waste still goes to the county collection days rather than to a general hauler unless the hauler offers that service.
Self hauling in Reading is mostly a drop-off question rather than a transfer station trip, because the city publishes no municipal drop-off yard. Extra or small electronics go to the Berks County Electronics Recycling Center, iGreen Electronics, Best Buy or a mobile phone carrier, alkaline batteries can go in the household trash while rechargeable and lithium batteries must go to a collection point, and fluorescent and compact fluorescent bulbs go to a bulb or county electronics site. Paint, automobile fluids, pesticides, household chemicals and anything labelled caution, flammable, toxic, corrosive, poison, danger, explosive, warning or volatile go to the Berks County Solid Waste Authority collection days, or a private hauler can pick them up at the home. Unwanted medications go to the county medication drop box programme, with a box at the Reading Police Department, and sharps should go back to a doctor or, failing that, into a taped and labelled puncture resistant container in the garbage. Tires are one of the few items the city collects itself, free, up to four per pickup and twelve a household a year, with extra tires sent to the county recycling centre. Anything the city refuses for size or weight leaves through a private hauler.

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