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 Columbus residents choose Dropcurb for couch removal
Columbus's free landfills (Pine Grove and Granite Bluff) require your own truck and loading — and the 3-5 week delay on yard waste pickup pushed the city to open them. LoadUp and College HUNKS both require scheduling. Dropcurb starts at $79 with same-day curbside pickup — instant online pricing, no driving to Pine Grove.
