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 and household bulk is one of the material categories the city bulk request names, so a couch goes out with a scheduled pickup.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Included in the residential collection service billed on the monthly water and sewer statement, with no separate fee published for a scheduled pickup or for taking the piece to an SPSA transfer station inside the first twelve free visits a year. Confirm the piece and your monthly rate with Waste Management at 757-393-8629.
When & how
Book the pickup before the piece goes out, because requests close the day before and the day of your collection day, and the pile is collected on your normal trash day.
Get it ready
Strip out anything you are keeping, leave drawers and doors closed, put the piece at the curb before the scheduled day, and keep it clear of cars, mailboxes, poles and meters. Upholstered furniture never goes in a trash can, and the city does not run bulk from multifamily complexes, businesses or vacant lots.
The set out window is the night before or early morning
Refuse goes out after 5 p.m. the day before collection and by 7 a.m. on the collection day, cans need three feet of clearance from mailboxes, parked cars and other obstacles, lids have to close, and empty cans come off the curb by 7 p.m. that same day.
Book bulk before the cutoff, not on collection day
Bulk waste has to be scheduled before it goes out, and requests close the day before and the day of your collection day. A Thursday address has to submit by 11:59 p.m. Tuesday, and anything left at the curb without an appointment can draw a removal notice and fines.
Tires, white goods and cardboard set out for collection have to be separated from bulk refuse, and every bulk pile sits at the curb rather than in a public alley, clear of water meters, cable boxes, power lines, utility poles and tree limbs.
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.
For household furniture, appliances, boxes and move-out debris at a residence the city collects from.
Cost & conditions
City collection is paid through the monthly refuse charge on the water and sewer statement and no separate charge for a scheduled pickup is published, so confirm your rate and the exact items when you book at 757-393-8629.
Arrange it
Book online through the bulk request form or by phone before the cutoff, then put the pile at the curb before the scheduled pickup on your normal trash day.
By appointment only, with contractor material, commercial waste, construction debris, hazardous material and anything from a vacant lot refused, and no bulk collection at multifamily complexes or businesses.
For a resident with a car, pickup or small rented trailer who would rather drive the items out than wait for a collection day.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Couch removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Portsmouth.
How much does couch removal cost in Portsmouth?+
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 Portsmouth pick up a couch?+
Yes, as household bulk with a scheduled appointment. Furniture and household bulk is one of the material types on the city's bulk request form, so book the pickup online or at 757-393-8629, submit before the cutoff on the day before your collection, and put the couch at the curb for your normal trash day. Apartment and condo residents need to check with their building, because the city does not collect bulk from multifamily complexes.Official guidance
