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 Seattle residents choose Dropcurb for couch removal
$79 vs $30 per item plus 2-4 weeks waiting adds up quickly for multiple pieces. Seattle's per-item pricing makes large cleanouts expensive while the wait times don't serve urgent disposal needs.
