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 Perth Amboy residents choose Dropcurb for couch removal

$79 same-day service versus Perth Amboy's six-week processing eliminates the planning nightmare. No truck rental for Middlesex County runs, no estimate scheduling requirements, and immediate response that actually fits household timelines. Professional service that respects your schedule.
