Couch removal in Braintree, MA

Setting a couch out for the town

Furniture must be scheduled with Capitol Waste before your collection day at capitolws.com or 855-533-3400, and the town's weekly limit is two items. The curbside page says to book at least one week prior to your regular collection. Put the sofa out the night before or before 7 a.m. on your trash day, away from your carts. The town page posts no fee for the pickup beyond the annual curbside trash fee.

The town does not post how it counts a multi-piece sectional against the two-item limit, so ask Capitol Waste when you book. A couch that rains on overnight can soak through and get left, so book first, then carry it out.

Donating a couch near Braintree

The town's electronics and appliance pages list Goodwill on Southern Artery in Quincy, 617-745-4144 and Big Brother Big Sister Foundation, 800-483-5505, which does pickups. The town does not say they take furniture, so call and describe the piece. Anything stained, torn, smoky or pet-damaged is usually refused, and that is what a hauler is for.

JUNKRUN prices by couch type

Chair $69, recliner $89, loveseat $89, sofa $139, sleeper or recliner sofa $189, and sectional pieces $109 each. A three-piece sectional is $327. The minimum pickup is $159, so a single chair or loveseat is billed at the minimum; add a dresser or a mattress to the same visit.

Older Braintree Capes and split-levels have tight turns at stair landings. Tell us when you text and we bring tools to take off legs or arms.

Quick answers

Will Braintree pick up my old couch?

+

Yes, as one of two bulk items a week, if you schedule it with Capitol Waste at least a week before your collection day.

Do I have to cut up a couch for Braintree trash pickup?

+

The town does not require it for furniture. It requires carpet, rugs and wood to be cut into 3 to 4 foot lengths.

What if my couch is not collected?

+

Call Capitol Waste at 855-533-3400 (9 AM to 4 PM). If you did not book it ahead, that is the usual reason.

Do you take couches from a second floor?

+

Yes. We carry from the room it is in. The price is by couch type, not floor.
