Couch and sofa removal in Framingham, MA
City pickup for sofas
The City's list of soft goods includes chairs, ottomans, tables, wooden desks, couches, loveseats, bureaus and wooden bed frames. It charges $12 for non-metal items over 40 pounds, and soft goods go out on Tuesday. Add the $5 service fee and a couch at the curb costs $17.
A sleep sofa is different. The list counts it with metal items, and the fee is $25 whether you drop it off or have it collected, so $30 curbside, on Wednesday. Carpet over 4 by 6 feet is also $25.
Book online or at 100 Western Avenue or 255 Mt. Wayte Avenue, and pay first. Set it out by 7 a.m. with the tag on; crews do not come onto your property. Curbside is for one to four units and approved condos.
Doing it yourself and keeping it out of the weather
A sofa left on the lawn Monday night for a Tuesday pickup can sit in rain or frost, and a soaked couch is much heavier to carry. Put it out the night before only if your lawn or porch is dry, and keep the tag attached. The City does not state a rule on early set-out for bulky items, only the 7 a.m. deadline.
To drive it to the Recycling Drop-Off Center, you need a truck, a $20 yearly permit and cash or check; the center is open Thursday to Sunday. Soft goods over 40 pounds are $12 there, and the fee for a sleeper is $25.
If the couch is clean and in good shape, the Savers store at 500 Cochituate Road lists small furniture among its donations, and the Habitat ReStore in Ashland takes furniture; call before loading either.
When to call us instead
A third-floor sectional, a couch that will not turn in a stairwell, a move-out with a dozen pieces, or a building the City does not cover are the usual reasons. We carry from any floor with no stair fee, and cut a piece up inside if it will not fit through the door.
Prices are flat: loveseat $89, sofa $139, sleeper or recliner sofa $189, each sectional piece $109, armchair $69, recliner $89. The minimum pickup is $159, with no travel fee. Two pieces together usually clear the minimum. Related pages: bulky item pickup and mattress removal.
