Couch and sofa removal in Sandwich

The town route

Sandwich accepts all furniture at the Transfer Station on Route 130. The fee page lists upholstered furniture at $20 an item, and the furniture reference sheet sorts a couch, a sectional (each piece counts), a futon and an ottoman under the same wood, upholstered and bean-bag heading. Sectionals add up fast because every piece is its own ticket, so a four-piece sectional is four tickets before you count the ottoman.

The station sits at 490 Route 130 and opens Wednesday to Sunday. A permit costs $105 for a first vehicle, and the plate must match the vehicle registration.

Moving a couch with a Cape-size car

A three-seat sofa does not fit in a hatchback. The town's FAQ answers the small-car question directly: use a trailer or hire a local disposal contractor. Only permitted vehicles may dispose of bulky items, so a borrowed pickup with someone else's plate does not qualify.

Measure the doorway and the stair turn before you lift, and take off the legs. Wrap the arms in a blanket so the fabric does not catch on the door frame. A sofa bed that came in through a deck door rarely fits back out the front.

What JUNKRUN charges

A couch is $139. A loveseat is $89, a recliner $89, a sleeper sofa $189, and a sectional $109 per piece. If the sofa is part of a bigger clear-out, a quarter trailer is $209 and a half trailer $319. The same flat prices apply across Sandwich, East Sandwich, Forestdale and Sagamore Beach, with no travel fee.

If the couch is still clean, the Habitat ReStore in Falmouth says it offers free pickups of upholstered and wooden furniture, though it only accepts items in excellent condition.
