What changes the price
- Size: a loveseat is quicker than a large sectional, which may count as several pieces.
- Sleeper sofas and recliners are heavier because of their metal mechanisms.
- Stairs, tight doorways and disassembly add labor.
- A couch in good condition can often be donated rather than landfilled; some companies charge less when they can donate it.
How to save
- Donate it: charities and Habitat for Humanity ReStores accept many sofas in good condition, and some pick up free.
- Check your city's bulk-trash pickup before paying a hauler.
- Donate what still works: Habitat for Humanity ReStores and local charities take furniture and appliances in good condition, and some pick up for free.
- Check your city's bulk-trash pickup before paying a hauler; many cities collect large items a few times a year at no extra charge.
