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 Madison residents choose Dropcurb for couch removal
$79 vs $25 plus 5-10 days waiting becomes reasonable for urgent removals. Madison's on-demand system offers good flexibility, but the consistent wait times don't serve immediate disposal needs.
