What happens to your couch after pickup
Couches in good condition — no rips, stains, or structural damage — are donated to local charities like Habitat for Humanity ReStore, Goodwill, or Salvation Army. Couches that can't be donated are taken to licensed disposal facilities. Wood frames are sometimes separated for recycling, and metal components (springs, frames) are sent to scrap processors. Fabric and foam that can't be recycled are disposed of responsibly at permitted solid waste facilities.
Why Downey residents choose Dropcurb for couch removal
$79 vs Downey's $30 but no 5-10 business day wait — same day instead. Southeast Resource Recovery costs similar but you rent the truck, load everything yourself, and spend half a day driving to Compton.
