Couch and sofa removal in Chatham, MA

The station route

The Recycling Information & Disposal Fees sheet lists Sofa/Sofa Bed at $30.00 each and upholstered chairs at $15. Upholstered furniture is also on the "inquire at gate" construction line, so the gate attendant decides how a sectional counts: call 508-945-5156 before you cut it up or drive.

The station is open Monday, Tuesday and Thursday to Sunday, 8 to 4. It was closed Wednesdays "until further notice" when we checked. It takes cards, checks and cash up to $50, which covers one sofa but not a sofa and two chairs.

Why the Swap Shop is not an option

A couch you hoped to pass along locally will not clear the Swap Shop. The shop's refused list includes upholstered items, rugs and particleboard furniture, and the Gift Shop list repeats "upholstered furniture." The shop also requires a resident or recycling-only sticker.

A clean sofa in good shape is better off at the Habitat ReStore in South Yarmouth or Falmouth, which lists upholstered and wooden furniture and free pickups. Call 508-394-6400 first; the stores sell what they can resell.

Rental and estate sofas

A cottage with a worn sleeper in the living room and a loveseat on the porch is a common Chatham changeover. The station fee is $30 for the sofa, but the drive, a second trip for a loveseat and the lifting are yours.

JUNKRUN prices by piece, no stair fee, no travel fee: sofa $139, loveseat $89, recliner $89, armchair $69, sleeper sofa $189, sectional $109 per piece, with a $159 minimum. Tell us if a porch step or a narrow cottage stair is involved; we take frames apart on site.

Couch questions Chatham residents ask

Can I leave a couch at the curb in Chatham?

+

The town's pages describe no bulk curbside pickup. Call the Transfer Station at 508-945-5151 before leaving anything out.

Is a sofa bed charged the same as a sofa?

+

The fee sheet lists them on one line, Sofa/Sofa Bed, at $30 each.

Does Chatham take a couch from a rental?

+

The town says summer renters pay for a bag at the station. It does not list couch fees for renters, so call first.

Does a sticker change the sofa fee?

+

The fee list is headed with or without a sticker, so the sofa fee is the same. The sticker mainly covers bagged trash and Swap Shop use.
