Couch & Sofa Removal in
Denver
That old couch, gone today — sofas, loveseats, sleepers, and sectionals carried out of the room and hauled at a flat photo-quoted price from $126. A couch doesn't fit Denver's every-nine-weeks curbside pickup, and you shouldn't have to drag one to the street. We come to the room it's in and take it. No Colorado sales tax on the service.
How couch removal works in Denver
1 · Send a photo
Snap a picture of the couch or sectional. You get an exact flat price back in seconds — no walkthrough, no "call for a quote."
2 · Pick a time
Same-day is usually open across Denver and the Front Range. Building needs a COI or freight-elevator window? We arrange it.
3 · We carry it out & haul
A vetted crew lifts it from the room, down the stairs or elevator, and hauls it. Resellable sofas are donated. You lift nothing.
How much does couch removal cost in Denver?
Flat and photo-quoted — the carry-out, the drive, and the disposal are already in the number. A couch is priced by type; a sectional by how many pieces it has.
| Item | Flat price |
|---|---|
| Loveseat | $119 |
| Sofa / couch (standard) | $126 |
| Reclining sofa | $152 |
| Sleeper / pull-out sofa | $149 |
| Futon | $111 |
| Recliner (single) | $98 |
| Sectional — 2-piece | $141 |
| Sectional — 3-piece | $185 |
| Sectional — 4-piece | $228 |
| Sectional — 5-piece | $271 |
$75 minimum. Disposal and carry-out included. Adding the matching loveseat, an armchair, or a coffee table? Send one photo and we'll price the set together. No Colorado sales tax on the service.
For context, local Denver haulers quote roughly $90–$160 to take a single sofa curbside — our flat price includes carrying it out of the room, up or down the stairs, and the disposal, with the number confirmed before we roll.

Does Denver pick up couches?
Technically yes — but it's the slowest, most hands-on option there is. The City & County of Denver runs a free Large Item Pickup program (schedule it through Denver 311 · 720-913-1311), and it will take a couch. The catch is threefold: it runs only about once every nine weeks on your trash zone's rotating schedule, it's capped at five large items per pickup, and it's curbside-only — meaning you have to muscle the sofa out of the house and down to the curb, then leave it sitting on the street until the truck eventually comes. For a renter facing a lease deadline, an owner mid-move, or anyone who physically can't carry a sofa outside, that program isn't a real answer. It also only serves Denver's city trash customers — apartment buildings and the surrounding suburbs often aren't on it at all. We're the opposite: we come to the room the couch is in, carry it out for you, and haul it the same day.
What we take
- Sofas & couches — standard three-seaters, reclining sofas, and loveseats.
- Sleepers & futons — heavy pull-out sofa beds and futon frames, mattress included.
- Sectionals — 2-, 3-, 4-, and 5-piece, split as needed for doorways and elevators.
- Recliners & armchairs — single recliners, gliders, and accent chairs.
- The whole living room — couch plus coffee table, media console, and rug, priced together.
What happens to your couch after pickup
A couch in clean, resellable shape doesn't belong in a landfill, so we route it to donation first — Goodwill of Colorado, ARC Thrift Stores, and Habitat for Humanity ReStore all take usable upholstered furniture across the metro, and donating it earns you a tax receipt on request. What's too worn to donate is broken down and disposed responsibly, with the frame's metal and wood diverted where we can. It fits Denver's push toward waste diversion, and it's all included in your flat price — as is the tarp on every load, which keeps the Front Range tip fee from doubling for an uncovered truck.
Walk-ups, high-rises, and the no-curb-drag reality
Denver couches live in tricky places. A sofa in a Capitol Hill 1920s walk-up means a three-flight stair-carry with no elevator — and because Denver is flat ground, that's just stairs, no hill surcharge, it's in the flat price. A sectional in a LoDo or Cherry Creek high-rise means a building COI and a reserved freight-elevator window, which we file and book. A hide-a-bed in a Wash Park basement means carrying a dead weight up the basement stairs. All of it is what we do — we come to wherever the couch is and carry it out, so you never drag it to the curb the way the city program demands.

What Denver couch customers say
"Third-floor walk-up in Cap Hill, huge old sleeper sofa. Two guys carried it down three flights, no surcharge, flat price from the photo I sent that morning. Gone by afternoon."
"Five-piece sectional out of a Cherry Creek condo — they handled the COI and the freight elevator, split it apart, and it was one flat number. Nothing scratched. Effortless."
"New couch was arriving and the old one was still good, so they donated it instead of dumping it. Sent me the tax receipt too. Fair flat price, same day."

Frequently asked questions
Will the City of Denver pick up my couch?
Only slowly, and only if you do the heavy lifting. Denver's free Large Item Pickup runs about once every nine weeks, takes a maximum of five large items, is curbside-only, and requires you to drag the couch out to the curb yourself. If you can't wait two months or can't haul a sofa outside, that program doesn't help — we carry it out of the room and haul it the same day.
Do you carry the couch out, or do I drag it to the curb?
We carry it out. Our crew lifts it from wherever it sits — a Capitol Hill third-floor walk-up, a Cherry Creek condo, a Wash Park basement — down the stairs or through the freight elevator, and out. You don't lift or drag anything. That full-service carry-out is the difference between us and the city's curbside program.
Can you take a big sectional?
Yes. Sectionals are priced by piece count — 2-piece $141, 3-piece $185, 4-piece $228, 5-piece $271 — and we split them as needed to clear doorways, stairwells, and service elevators. It's one flat number from your photo, no oversized upcharge.
Is couch removal cheaper than 1-800-GOT-JUNK?
Our couch price is flat and quoted from a photo before we arrive, so you know it up front. Traditional full-service haulers price by how much of the truck you fill and often only confirm on site, which for a single sofa can land anywhere from roughly $150 to $600-plus. We give you the number first, and it includes the carry-out and disposal.
What happens to my old couch after pickup?
If it's clean and resellable, we route it to donation — Goodwill of Colorado, ARC Thrift Stores, or Habitat for Humanity ReStore — so it gets a second life and stays out of the landfill. What can't be donated is disposed responsibly, and every load is tarped, which on the Front Range also keeps the tip fee from doubling for an uncovered truck.
