Newport and The Heights residents navigate unclear bulk item policies that vary from the regular trash service. The Incinerator Authority charges by cubic yard volume, making disposal costs hard to predict for mixed cleanouts. 1-800-GOT-JUNK requires home consultations before revealing $150-600+ pricing, while local haulers range $100-350 with inconsistent availability across the large city.

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.
