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.

Scranton does not run a bulky item appointment. The city's own answer is that crews take household garbage first and pick up larger items only when there is room in the truck, and that items containing metal are refused.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. City of Scranton household on a municipal refuse route. The city publishes no bulky pickup fee and no appointment system, and it states that items containing metal are not accepted.
When & how
Put the item out on the regular refuse day, no earlier than the night before, and call the Public Works dispatcher at 570-348-4178 before setting out anything with a metal frame or if a piece was left behind.
Get it ready
Remove metal from the item and dispose of it separately, because the city states that metal bearing items are not collected and that metal must be taken out first. Keep the piece manageable for a two person manual lift, since the crew picks up larger items only when there is space on the truck.
Everything goes out on the regular refuse day, not before
Garbage and commingled recycling are collected on the same weekly route, and material should go to the curb no earlier than the night before the scheduled pickup. A weekday holiday pushes every collection that week one day later. Missed garbage goes to the Public Works dispatcher at 570-348-4178.
Use your own lidded can and the city recycling container
Garbage cans are bought by the resident and must be no heavier than a 32 gallon can with a lid on it, while the city provides the recycling containers at 101 W Poplar St. Glass has to be wrapped thoroughly and marked as glass, and leaves must not be mixed in with household garbage.
The city refuses items containing metal at the curb and says metal must be removed from an item and disposed of separately. That is why appliances, metal furniture and exercise machines with steel frames belong with a scrap yard or a separate programme rather than the refuse route, and why the dispatcher should be asked about anything that has springs or a metal frame.
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.

Larger items with the regular refuse collection
A city household with a couch, a mattress or another large household item that has no metal in it.
Cost & conditions
No charge. City of Scranton household on a municipal refuse route. No bulky pickup fee or appointment is published, and larger items are taken with the regular collection only when there is room on the truck.
Arrange it
Put the item out on the regular refuse day no earlier than the night before, and call the Public Works dispatcher at 570-348-4178 if it was left behind or if it contains metal.
No appointment and no guarantee: household garbage is collected first, so a larger item may be left behind on a busy day. Items containing metal are refused and the metal has to be removed and disposed of separately, which in practice rules out most appliances and any piece with a steel frame or springs.

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.

Will you carry my couch out of my apartment?+

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.
Will Scranton take a couch at the curb?+
