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.

Bulk waste is defined as material too large for the normal containers, such as appliances, furniture, residential yard waste and other debris, and the city treats that material as regular or routine residential solid waste rather than as a special service. The bulk page gives its own examples of what is collectible and what is not the city's responsibility.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Included in the residential sanitation service for a qualifying property. A load beyond what the city treats as routine, including demolition, renovation and remodeling debris, has to be disposed of by the homeowner, who can deliver it to the Salem or Tinker Creek transfer stations under the resource authority's rules.
When & how
Set the qualifying pile at the curb or the normal collection site on the scheduled collection day, and expect the collection on a normal waste collection day or at the earliest scheduled time.
Get it ready
Keep the load routine in size and type. The page's collectible examples are a broken toilet or storm door, a section of busted fencing, a room of dirty carpet, pruned tree branches no longer than six feet, and basement or attic clean-out items that would fit in a pickup truck bed, while the remnants of a remodeled bathroom or kitchen, an entire backyard of broken fencing, a houseful of bad carpet, multiple cut trees and eviction material beyond the pickup truck limit are not the city's responsibility.
Furniture is named in the city's bulk definition, and carpet appears in the bulk page's own examples of collectible material, so a couch or a room of carpet goes out with the routine curbside bulk service.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Included in the residential sanitation service for a qualifying single-family home, or a multi-family property that uses city sanitation for its normal scheduled collection. A load that is beyond routine, such as a houseful of carpet or an eviction set larger than a pickup truck, is not the city's responsibility.
When & how
Put the piece at the curb of the property that generated it on the scheduled collection day, and keep it clear of overhead obstructions.
Get it ready
Keep the set within the routine size the page describes, which for a clean-out is a load that would fit in a pickup truck bed, and keep furniture out of a demolition or remodeling pile, because permitted work and contractor waste are the contractor's or owner's responsibility.
Set the pile at the curb of the property that generated it, or at the normal collection site, clear of overhead obstructions, on the scheduled collection day. Appliances need the door removed or secured, the unit emptied and any gas evacuated; the collectible examples on the city page are a broken toilet or storm door, a section of fencing, a room of carpet, branches no longer than six feet and clean-out items that would fit in a pickup truck bed.
Waste from work that needed a building permit, waste generated by a contractor or a paid worker, land clearing debris on unimproved residential property, dirt, rock and masonry debris, stumps, hazardous materials, gas cylinders, fuel tanks, fuel cans, barrels, items too large to be handled safely, items used in an industrial or commercial process and vehicle parts are all barred from bulk collection. Prohibited material must not be set out in a way that signals a need for collection.
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.

Put routine bulk at the curb
A Salem household with furniture, an appliance, residential yard waste or another routine item too large for the tote.
Cost & conditions
No charge. Included in the city residential sanitation service, with no separate curbside charge published for routine bulk. Every single-family home in the city qualifies, and so does a multi-family property that uses city sanitation for its normal scheduled collection.
Arrange it
Set the pile at the curb of the property that generated it, or at the normal collection site, clear of overhead obstructions, on the scheduled collection day.
Demolition, renovation and remodeling debris is outside the service, permitted work and contractor waste are the contractor's or owner's responsibility, appliances have to meet the door, emptying and gas conditions, and the prohibited materials list applies.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Couch removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Salem.
How much does couch removal cost in Salem?+
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.
What counts as Salem bulk waste?+
Material too large for the normal totes or dumpsters, such as appliances, furniture, residential yard waste and other debris, which the city treats as regular or routine residential solid waste. The page's own examples are a broken toilet or storm door, a section of busted fencing, a room of dirty carpet, pruned tree branches no longer than six feet, and basement or attic clean-out items that would fit in a pickup truck bed. Demolition, renovation and remodeling debris is outside the service.Official guidance
Will Salem take a couch at the curb?+
Yes, as routine bulk waste. Furniture is named in the city's own bulk definition and carpet is one of the page's collectible examples, so the piece goes to the curb of the property that generated it on the scheduled collection day, clear of overhead obstructions. Keep the load within the routine size the page describes, because a houseful of carpet or an eviction set larger than a pickup truck is not the city's responsibility.Official guidance
What does Salem charge for trash and bulk pickup?+
Routine residential collection, brush and bulk waste are part of the city sanitation service and no separate curbside charge is published, so a qualifying pile costs nothing beyond the service the household already has. The transfer stations are free for a Salem household for a total of twelve drop-offs a calendar year across the Salem and Tinker Creek sites, the listed household chemicals are taken without a published charge during normal hours, and registering for a third Saturday collection event at Tinker Creek is free. Any amount beyond that structure is confirmed with the Sanitation Division on 540-375-3071 or the authority on 540-857-5050.Official guidance
What will Salem not take at the curb?+
Demolition, renovation and remodeling debris, waste from work that needed a building permit, waste generated by a contractor or anyone paid to do a job, land clearing debris on unimproved residential property, dirt, rock and masonry debris, stumps, hazardous materials, gas cylinders, fuel tanks, fuel cans, barrels, items too large to be handled safely, items used in an industrial or commercial process and vehicle parts. The city also states that prohibited material must not be set out in a way that signals a need for collection.Official guidance
Who runs sanitation in Salem?+
The Sanitation Division inside Street and General Maintenance, which operates the city's own trucks and chipper and picks up routine brush and bulky items at the street. The division is at 1228 Indiana Street and answers on 540-375-3071, with working hours from 6 in the morning to 2:30 in the afternoon and phone hours from 7 in the morning to 4 in the afternoon, while Street and General Maintenance answers recycling questions on 540-375-3039.
