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 on the list of items the town states it will collect curbside as bulky waste, so a couch, chair, table or similar piece goes out with the weekly bulky pile. Carpet and carpet pads are on the same list and should be laid parallel to the curb.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Furniture collected as bulky waste is included in the monthly garbage charge on the utility bill for a residence inside the town.
When & how
Furniture goes out with bulky waste on the household's regular garbage collection day, unless that day is a holiday when town offices are closed.
Get it ready
Set the piece loose at the curb in the organized pile, on the same timing as the rest of the bulky waste, and keep the total under 500 pounds. Boards and similar material need the nails removed or the points turned down, and a load that is bigger than a household pile has to go to a commercial container instead.
Bulky waste goes loose at the curb as one organized pile, out after 6 p.m. the day before or before 6 a.m. on the collection day, and never over 500 pounds. Lay material lengthwise on sloped right of ways, keep it out of boxes and non-Town carts, and call the town when glass or mirrors are involved because a hand pickup may be scheduled.
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.
Town of Normal Public Works Department, Waste Removal Division
Normal curbside bulky waste
A household with furniture, a mattress, an appliance or another large item that will not fit in the garbage cart.
Cost & conditions
No charge. Included in the monthly garbage charge on the Town utility bill, along with garbage, recycling, brush, landscape waste and fall leaves.
Arrange it
Put the items loose at the curb in one organized pile on your regular garbage collection day, using the same curbside timing as the carts, and call 309-454-9571 with questions between 7 a.m. and 3 p.m.
Nothing over 500 pounds or from contractor work is accepted, electronics, landscape waste and brush travel on their own routes, and bulky waste is not collected on holidays when town offices are closed.
A household with furniture or an appliance that still works and could be reused instead of hauled.
Cost & conditions
No charge. Donation depends on the receiving organization's own acceptance rules, and the town notes that appliances offered for donation must be in working condition.
Arrange it
Call ahead for donation details at Habitat ReStore, 1402 W Washington Street, 309-454-6047, or Recycling Furniture For Families, 515 N Center Street, 309-829-6500.
Appliances have to be in working condition, and each organization sets its own pickup and drop-off conditions, so confirm before loading a vehicle.
Self-hauling in Normal runs through the town's own Public Works yard. The self-service electronics recycling site at 1301 Warriner Street, past the main Public Works building and marked with yellow signs, takes televisions, computers, monitors, printers, scanners, receivers, video game consoles, phones and cables free from McLean County residents, and it refuses appliances, microwaves, dehumidifiers, alkaline batteries and light bulbs. Other household material has its own route: alkaline batteries go in the garbage cart or to a participating retailer, motor oil, antifreeze and used cooking oil go to Team Automotive on South Adelaide Street, compact fluorescent bulbs and tubes go to Echo Electric in Bloomington, and paint and household hazardous waste go through the Ecology Action Center and the PaintCare programme.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Couch removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Normal.
How much does couch removal cost in Normal?+
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 town take a couch from the curb?+
Yes. Furniture is on the list of items Normal states it will collect curbside as bulky waste, so a couch goes out loose at the curb in one organized pile on your regular garbage day at no separate charge. Keep the pile under 500 pounds, and note that working furniture and home goods can also be donated instead.Official guidance
Does Normal charge extra for a bulky pickup?+
No. The monthly garbage charge on the utility bill includes the curbside collections for garbage, recycling, bulky waste, brush, landscape waste and fall leaves, so a household does not pay a separate amount for each bulky item. Anything above the 500 pound cap or from contractor work has to be handled with a commercial container instead.Official guidance
Is trash collected on holidays in Normal?+
Household garbage and recycling in Town carts are collected on every holiday except Christmas Day, and when Christmas falls on a weekday that day's collection moves to the next regular business day. Bulky waste, brush and landscape waste are the exceptions: they are not collected on holidays when town offices are closed and generally move to the next regular garbage day.Official guidance
