Couch and sofa disposal in Orleans, Massachusetts

Station fees for sofas and chairs

In the Bulky Items block of the April 24, 2025 fee schedule the lines are upholstered sofa $25 and upholstered chairs $20. Carpeting is $10 each. The schedule does not list sleeper sofas, sectionals or recliners as separate items, so call the station on 508-240-3770 to learn how they are counted.

You drive in on a Transfer Station sticker ($195 for a resident's first vehicle in 2026). The station is open Friday through Tuesday, 7:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.

Moving a couch on a Cape lot

Couches leave Cape houses by narrow doorways, porch steps and, in summer homes, through screened porches that have been shut all winter. A pickup with a tailgate and two people is needed for a three-seat couch. A sectional is several heavy pieces, and each section counts.

A mildewed porch sofa from a closed-up cottage is messy to load yourself. We carry those out.

A loveseat is $89, a recliner $89, a sleeper sofa $189 and a sectional $109 per piece.

Giving a couch away instead

The Habitat for Humanity of Cape Cod ReStore takes upholstered furniture in new or excellent condition with no stains, damage or odor, and it refuses sofa beds. It has stores at 805 Gifford St. Ext. in Falmouth and 28 Whites Path in South Yarmouth, open Monday to Saturday 9 to 5, and each donation is inspected before acceptance. Call 508-394-6400 first.

A couch with pet hair, smoke or a pull-out frame is not a donation. At the station the per-piece fee is small; the sticker and the Friday-to-Tuesday trip are the real cost. Our flat price covers the carry.
