Couch Removal in Medford, MA

The $15 route

Sofas and chairs are on WM's accepted list. Call 800-972-4545, pay for each piece, and set it out the evening before your recycling day. A sectional counts as several items, so it can run $45 or $60 in fees before you carry it down yourself. Furniture put out the night before can get rained on, and the city page warns of a $300 fine for putting items out earlier than the evening before. Scheduling and payment have to happen first, so a couch cannot just be left out on a hopeful Monday.

When to skip the curb

If the couch is on a second floor in a three-family, if it is a pullout sleeper or if your recycling day is a week away, JunkRun is simpler. A sleeper is $189 and a recliner $89. The crew removes it from the room, through doors and stairs. If you would rather skip fees, reusable couches can be offered to the Salvation Army pickup line at 800-728-7825 or Vietnam Veterans of America at 800-775-8387; ask what they accept and whether they will come to an upper floor.
