HOW TO GET RID OF AN OLD COUCH
You bought a new couch. Maybe you're moving, downsizing, cleaning out a basement, or simply ready to get rid of old furniture.
So, how do you get rid of an old couch in the Lehigh Valley?
If you're wondering where to dispose of an old couch, where you can get rid of a couch, or who offers old couch pickup, the best option depends on the condition of the furniture, where you live, and whether you're able to move and transport it yourself.
Here are your main options, including bulk pickup, donation, landfill disposal, and junk removal — plus what each option may cost.
1. Check Your Municipal Bulk Pickup
Many municipalities in the Lehigh Valley offer some type of bulk-item collection for furniture.
Depending on where you live, you may receive regular bulk pickup, scheduled bulk-collection weeks, or the option to purchase a bulk-item tag.
Some services are included with residential trash collection, while others charge an additional diposal fee.
Before putting furniture at the curb, check your municipality's current rules and collection schedule.
Mattresses and box springs often have additional requirements, such as being wrapped in plastic.
Bulk item pickup can be an affordable option if you're able to move the couch to the curb yourself and don't need it removed immediately.
2. Donate It
If your couch is still in good condition, donation may be an option.
Local organizations such as Habitat for Humanity ReStore may accept sofas and loveseats that are clean and free from significant stains, tears, damage, mold, or missing parts.
Some organizations also offer pickup for qualifying donations, although furniture may need to be moved to a garage, porch, or other accessible area first.
Donation centers generally have stricter requirements than people expect, so send photos or confirm acceptance before transporting furniture.
3. Give It Away
Still usable?
Try listing it for free on Facebook Marketplace, Buy Nothing groups, or local community pages.
A simple:
FREE — PICKUP ONLY
can sometimes get furniture out of your house quickly without paying disposal fees.
4. Take It to the Landfill Yourself
If you're searching for where to dispose of an old couch near you, taking it directly to an approved landfill or disposal facility may be an option if you have a truck or trailer.
Car: $60–$65*
SUV or pickup-sized load: around $90*
Larger loads/trailers: approximately $120–$125 per ton*
Minimum charges may apply even if your load weighs less than one ton.
Special Items Cost Extra:
Items such as mattresses and box springs may carry an additional special-item disposal fee on top of the regular landfill charge.
Landfills also have restrictions on what they accept, and open loads may need to be securely tarped.
Always check current rates and restrictions before making the trip.
5. Hire a Junk Removal Company
If you don't have a truck, can't move the furniture safely, have several items, or simply don't want to handle the lifting and landfill trip, professional junk removal is another option. An old couch pickup or couch removal service can remove the furniture directly from your home, apartment, basement, garage, or curb.
