Couch Removal in Milton, MA

The town's couch pickup

For curbside pickup, call Sunrise Scavengers at 617-361-8000 to schedule a collection and place 2 x $4 stickers on the item. Put it out on the booked day, not before. Residents may set out one furniture or large item a week, so a sofa and a recliner take two weeks. The Recycling Center takes no furniture.

Sleepers and sectionals are heavy. The town treats furniture over 40 pounds as a two-sticker item, and a couch that is over 40 pounds has to be at the curb for the driver. A wet couch is heavier and harder to lift, so wait for the call and put it out dry.

Getting a couch out of a Milton house

Many Milton houses have tight stairs and turns, and older couches go in and cannot come back out. Measure the doorway and the landing, and take off the legs and cushions first. If it will not clear, the crew can split a frame inside. JUNKRUN prices by type: chair $69, recliner $89, loveseat $89, sofa $139, sleeper $189 and $109 per sectional piece. A sofa plus a chair is $208, and the $159 minimum covers any pickup.

Donate it if it is clean

The town suggests Habitat for Humanity ReStore or FurnitureBanks for gently used furniture. The Greater Boston ReStore at 1580 VFW Parkway in West Roxbury accepts donations Tuesday to Saturday, 9:30 to 4, but all donations must be in working order and staff can refuse by condition. Call 617-327-1170 with a photo. A couch with stains, tears or pet damage rarely qualifies and usually goes to disposal.
