Couch and sofa removal in Falmouth

What the facility charges for upholstered pieces
The fee schedule has a separate line: sofas and other large upholstered items are $35 per item left on the smash pad on the upper level. The upper level needs the $40 annual sticker, so a one-time sofa run costs more than the fee alone unless you already hold one.
One oddity to know about: the mattress line on the same schedule also mentions sofas and upholstered furniture at $50. Ask the gate attendant which line applies before you unload.
Why it will not go to the swap shop
Pick of the Litter, the town swap shop, does not accept upholstered furniture or large furniture such as couches, and drop-offs end at 11:00 a.m. on days it is open (Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday). Bulky pieces left there still get a disposal fee.
A clean couch in good shape has one other route: ReStore Cape Cod at 805 Gifford Street Extension, which takes gently used furniture it can sell. Call 508-394-6400 first. If it declines, the facility or a hauler is the next stop.
Getting it out of a cottage
Cape cottages and older capes have narrow stairs, low ceilings and tight turns, and a sofa that went in through a bay window is hard to take out through the front door. JUNKRUN carries from wherever it sits and loads from the driveway, including sandy ones.
Sofas are priced by type: couch $139, loveseat $89, recliner $89, sleeper sofa $189, sectional $109 per piece. Add a chair or two and we price the whole load by trailer fraction if that comes out lower, with the $159 minimum as a floor. No travel fee in Falmouth or its villages.
