Couch removal in Woburn, MA
The city pickup, step by step
Book at WM.com/Bulky or 800-972-4545. A couch, loveseat or chair is each one bulky item at $29.77 for 2026-27. Set it at the curb by 7 a.m. on the day you are given. Do not leave it out earlier, since rain soaks upholstery and a wet couch is heavy.
The city does not publish a limit on items per pickup. Each piece is billed as an item, so ask how Waste Management counts a sleeper sofa or a sectional when you book, since a multi-piece sectional could cost more than one fee.
When JUNKRUN is worth it
Our prices: chair $69, loveseat $89, recliner $89, three-seat sofa $139, sleeper or recliner sofa $189, and sectionals $109 per piece. We carry it from the room, take the legs off if needed, and load it. Minimum pickup is $159, so a couch plus a chair, a rug or a table makes the visit worth it. A couch that will not fit through the door can be cut apart inside, which is common with old sleeper sofas in older Woburn triple-deckers.
In a downtown Woburn condo or a third-floor walk-up, getting a sofa down a shared staircase is a two-person job. If the couch is stuck, tell us the door and stair measurements.
Donating a couch
A couch in good shape can go to a charity pickup or drop-off, but many centers refuse stained, torn, pet-smell or bed-bug couches. The Goodwill center at 375 Cambridge St. in Winchester takes household goods; call before bringing furniture. Make sure the couch is dry, free of pet odor and has no rips, because staff will turn it away otherwise. A couch that fails those checks is a pickup job. Woburn has no town drop-off yard to take it, so the choice is curbside through Waste Management or a crew.
If the couch is leaving because of bed bugs, wrap it in plastic and tell whoever collects it.
