Couch removal in Stoneham, MA
Why a couch does not go with the trash
Stoneham lets residents put out one bulk item under 50 lbs each week. Even a loveseat is usually heavier, and a sectional or sleeper sofa is far over. For those, call Casella at 1-800-950-9293; fees apply and the town page gives no number. Casella may also add a transaction fee. Curbside pickup is only for residential trash customers, so renters who do not hold a town account should ask their landlord.
A couch left outside overnight in a rainy week soaks through and may not be accepted, so schedule the pickup date before you carry it out.
Prices by couch type
Chair $69, recliner $89, loveseat $89, sofa $139, sleeper or recliner sofa $189, and sectional pieces $109 each. A three-piece sectional is $327. Sleeper sofas weigh a lot because of the metal frame, and the price covers two people.
The minimum is $159, so a single chair or loveseat is billed at the minimum. Adding an old end table or lamp to the same visit costs less than a second trip. If the couch has a recliner built in, it counts as the sleeper or recliner sofa tier at $189 because of the motor and frame weight. Tell us how many people usually lift it and we confirm the tier by text.
Getting it out of an older Stoneham house
Capes and Colonials often have a tight turn at the stair landing or a front door narrower than the sofa. Tell us about the stairs when you text and we bring the tools to take off legs or arms. A sofa that is still clean can go to Mission of Deeds in Reading, which the town's reuse page lists as a drop-off location, or to the Habitat ReStore if it is in good shape. Many donation sites will not take upholstery with stains, pets' damage or smoke smells.
