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 on the borough bulk item list, so a couch goes out by appointment on the Borough's Monday bulk run inside the three item limit.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Borough of State College residential refuse accounts, for up to three bulk items booked by form or by calling 814-234-7135; the borough warns that excessive household trash, brush or construction material may carry a charge, which the department confirms before the load is set out.
When & how
Book the pickup by five in the afternoon on Sunday for the Monday run, and have the piece at the curb by 6 am on the collection day. Bulk collection starts Monday each week unless a Monday holiday cancels it for the whole week.
Get it ready
Keep the load to three items, put the piece where the crew can reach it from the street, and leave it out no more than 48 hours before collection. Bulk items are not collected from alleys unless the property has no street frontage or normally uses an alley dumpster.
One cart, one day, refuse, organics and recycling together
State College residential refuse runs Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday depending on the address, with the day set when the account is opened through the Borough Finance Department. Refuse, organics and the red-bin recycling all come on the same collection day, the cart goes to the curb by 7 a.m. with the lid closed and three feet of clearance from trees, signs and other carts, and anything that does not fit goes beside the Borough cart in a container. Loose or fine waste such as ashes, plastic wrap, pet hair, kitty litter, tissues and packing peanuts has to be bagged, while larger items such as pizza boxes and lumber scraps can go straight in the cart. Carts come back off the street the same day, and residents who leave them out are subject to a fine.
The bulk run is booked, Monday only, three items at a time
Bulk refuse is collected by appointment on a run that starts Monday each week unless a Monday holiday cancels it entirely. The request has to reach the borough by five in the afternoon on Sunday, by form or by calling 814-234-7135, the items go to the curb by 6 am on the collection day and no more than 48 hours early, and no more than three items may be placed at once. Refrigerators, stoves, washing machines, furniture and similar household items are the collected materials, and bulk items are not picked up from alleys unless the property has no street frontage or normally uses an alley dumpster.
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.
Borough of State College Public Works with the Centre County Recycling and Refuse Authority
Book the borough bulk item collection
A Borough of State College household with furniture, an appliance, a television or another large household item to put out on the Monday run.
Cost & conditions
No charge. Borough residential refuse accounts, with up to three items per appointment and a charge possible on an excessive load, which public works confirms on 814-234-7135.
Arrange it
Submit the Bulk Refuse Pickup Form or call 814-234-7135 by five in the afternoon on Sunday, then put the items at the curb by 6 am on the collection day.
Three items at a time, no alley collection unless the property has no street frontage, nothing over 40 pounds or too large to handle, and no building materials, tree limbs, tires or unbagged fine waste.
Arrange a private haul for what the borough refuses
A household or landlord with building material, a load over the bulk limits, tires or a quantity of debris beyond the three item appointment.
Cost & conditions
The borough publishes no private hauling rate and charges only by arrangement for its own excessive load removals, so the price depends on the hauler, the material and the volume. Ask for a quote and confirm the destination before the load leaves the property.
Arrange it
Book a licensed hauler directly, or call the borough on 814-234-7135 to discuss a charged removal if no private arrangement can be made.
Nothing about a hauler load changes the borough's refusal of building materials and tires at the curb, and a hauler load still has to reach a permitted site.

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.

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.
