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.

Furniture is named on the city's acceptable bulky list and on the Refuse Collection Center list.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. The city publishes no per-item fee for bulky trash, and furniture is acceptable both on the curbside bulk route and at the Refuse Collection Centers. The curbside route is capped at twelve collections per property in any twelve-month period.
When & how
Set the furniture out by 7 a.m. on the Monday of your bulky collection week, or bring it to a Refuse Collection Center, which opens Tuesday to Friday 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., Saturday 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sunday 1 p.m. to 5 p.m.
Get it ready
Keep the piece separate from household garbage, brush and leaves, five feet from parked cars, mailboxes and other objects, and out of the alleyways, because the city asks that bulky material sit as near as practicable to the street in front of the residence. Carpet and padding are also on the acceptable list when they are part of the bulky pile.
Garbage at the curb by 7 a.m. in the city container
Garbage is collected weekly and has to be at the curb by 7 a.m. on the collection day, with everything in tightly secured bags inside the automated container. The wheels and handles face the curb with the arrows pointing to the street, the container sits within two feet of the curb, at least three feet from any obstruction and five feet from parked cars, and it comes back off the curb after the collection day. Garbage is collected on all holidays, with anything missed taken the following Saturday.
Separate the piles and have them out by 7 a.m. Monday
Brush, bulky trash, bagged yard waste and leaves are collected by different trucks and go to different disposal sites, so they have to sit in separate piles at the curb by 7 a.m. on the Monday of your collection week. Bulky material stays at least five feet from parked cars, mailboxes and other stationary objects, sits near the street in front of the residence, and must not block the roadway, sidewalk, ditch or catch basins, cover water meters, sit under low-hanging wires or go in an alleyway.
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.

Use the city bulky collection
A Chattanooga household at a property it owns or lives in, with furniture, a mattress, an appliance or a television that the garbage container cannot hold.
Cost & conditions
No charge. The city publishes no per-item fee for bulky trash. The service is limited instead of priced, at twelve bulky collections per property in any consecutive twelve-month period, and it is not offered to businesses, apartment complexes or landlords.
Arrange it
Watch for the rotating area schedule, then put the piles at the curb by 7 a.m. on the Monday of the collection week, keeping brush, bulky trash, yard waste and leaves separate. Chatt311 on (423) 643-6311 answers questions.
Twelve bulky collections per property in any twelve months, no businesses, apartments or landlords, and building materials, lumber, auto parts, liquids and 55-gallon drums are not acceptable. Household garbage must stay in the automated container.
The self-haul route for a Chattanooga address depends on what is in the load. The city's three Refuse Collection Centers take appliances, mattresses, furniture, metal, drywall, limited tires, lumber and similar bulky material from city residents, but they require a licence showing Chattanooga residency and Hamilton County tags, limit a visit to eight bags, cap the year at twelve visits, and refuse computer electronics, concrete, dirt, rock, brick, block, roofing, insulation, pallets, brush, car parts, propane tanks and hazardous material. Computer-related electronics and hazardous material go instead to the Household Hazardous Waste Collection Facility, which the city describes as free to any Hamilton County resident and which is open Tuesday to Saturday 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. with a Tennessee driver's licence and a fifteen gallon or 150 pound household limit. The City Landfill on Birchwood Pike is not a route for any of that material: it is free only for household garbage from a city resident's primary residence, it refuses bulky items such as appliances and furniture, and it refuses construction and demolition waste outright.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Couch removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Chattanooga.
How much does couch removal cost in Chattanooga?+
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.
Will the city take a couch at the curb?+
Furniture is on the acceptable list for Chattanooga's curbside bulk collection, which runs on a rotating schedule through each area of the city, and it is also accepted at the Refuse Collection Centers. The curbside pile has to be out by 7 a.m. on the Monday of the collection week, kept separate from garbage and brush, and a property is limited to twelve bulky collections in a twelve-month period.Official guidance
