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.
The city names couches, love seats, dressers, recliners, chairs, tables and regular furniture on its acceptable bulky item list, so a couch or a set of chairs can be collected on the normal trash day once the pickup is scheduled and paid for. Anything left outside the city cart counts as a bulky item, which is why furniture cannot simply be set out on the usual morning without a booking.
City cost & eligibility
$10 for for a scheduled bulky pickup covering up to two items, with each additional item at five dollars and each extra bag or box at two dollars fifty, all paid in advance. Salisbury residents who schedule the pickup and pay no later than 2:30 p.m. the day before the collection day, in person at 303 W Franklin Street or by phone on (704) 638-5260 option 5, option 1, option 5, using Visa or MasterCard.
When & how
Book and pay before 2:30 p.m. the day before your regular collection day, then have the furniture at the curb by 7 a.m. on that day. A different truck from the usual garbage truck collects it.
Get it ready
Keep the piece whole and liftable, remove cushions or drawers only if they can be tied to it or bagged separately, keep it away from the cart, mailbox and poles so both trucks have room, and keep it out of the green cart.
Garbage and yard waste are collected every week and recycling every other week, all on the same weekday, and the carts go to the roadside by 7 a.m. and come back in by midnight. Put the cart within two feet of the roadside with the handle facing the house, leave three feet between it and anything else such as another cart, a mailbox or a pole, and keep it out of the street. Garbage is bagged inside the green city cart, and regular collection runs on every holiday except Christmas.
Anything outside the city cart is a booked bulky item
The city treats every item left outside its issued cart as bulky, so a piece of furniture or a bagged load needs a scheduled pickup and prepayment before 2:30 p.m. the day before the collection day. A separate truck handles the bulky stop on the same day as the normal collection, and the fee schedule covers up to two items with extra charges for additional items and for each extra bag or box. Bookings taken after the cut off wait a week.
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.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Couch removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Salisbury.
How much does couch removal cost in Salisbury?+
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.
How do I get rid of a couch in Salisbury?+
Schedule a bulky item pickup with Public Works and pay the fee before 2:30 p.m. the day before your collection day, then put the couch at the curb by 7 a.m. Couches and other regular furniture are named on the city's acceptable bulky list, and a separate truck collects them that day.Official guidance
Who collects trash in Salisbury?+
The city does, through the Public Works Department and its Public Services division. Garbage goes in the green city cart the household is issued, recycling goes in a blue cart the city bought from Republic Services and marks with a City of Salisbury seal, and yard waste goes out the same day. Garbage and yard waste are collected every week and recycling every other week, all on the same weekday, with the recycling dates on the city Recycling Calendar, and a separate truck handles scheduled bulky items.Official guidance
Does Salisbury collect trash on holidays?+
Yes. Regular garbage collection runs on every holiday except Christmas, so the weekly schedule holds through most of the year, and carts still go out by 7 a.m. on the normal collection day.Official guidance
When are the Salisbury Spruce Up Weeks?+
Four times a year, for residents inside the city limits. The 2026 weeks are January 5 to 9, April 6 to 10, July 13 to 17 and October 5 to 9, with items at the curb before 7 a.m. on the regular collection day, appliances and up to five tires without rims included and no charge.Official guidance
