The short answer
Couch removal with Roa Solution Junk Removal starts at $190, and the crew carries it out from wherever it sits. A loveseat from a ground-floor room is a smaller job than a sectional from an upstairs apartment, so size, the carry and parking set the price. Text a photo for an estimate. If you can get it to the curb and wait, your city's bulky pickup may be free.

What sets the price
A single couch from a ground-floor room costs less than a sectional from upstairs. Truck space, weight and the carry set the price.
| Factor | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Size | Loveseat, sofa, sleeper or a sectional in several pieces. |
| Sleepers and recliners | Metal frames and mechanisms add weight. |
| Breaking it down | Sectionals split into pieces and some frames come apart, so they take less truck space. |
| Stairs and doorways | Tell us about stairs and tight doorways so we plan the carry. |
| Parking | Driveway or street, and how far it is from the door. |
| Other furniture | Coffee tables, chairs and rugs in the same trip. |

When the free city pickup beats paying
If you can get the couch to the curb and wait for a date, your city's program may be free or cheap.
The catch: the couch has to get to the curb, and you wait for a date. If it's upstairs, you need it gone before a delivery, or you're out of free pickups, that's when a hauler makes sense.
- City of Los Angeles: unlimited free curbside bulky pickup for homes on city trash service, booked through MyLA311.
- Pasadena: single-family homes get two free bulky pickups a year by appointment.
- Laguna Beach: four pickups a year, with extra pickups at $31.22 each on its FY 2024-25 rate sheet.
- Tustin: four pickups a year; the fifth and later are $35.99 each, on rates effective July 1, 2025.
- Size limits: Rosemead caps each item at 50 pounds and 4 x 4 x 6 feet, and Costa Mesa at 8 x 4 feet and 150 pounds, so a big sectional may not qualify.

What to send in your photos
One photo of the couch and one of the way out is usually enough.

Donate it instead?
If it's clean and in good shape, a charity pickup may take it. Charities set their own condition rules, so check them before you book.
