A straight answer, for once: a standard sofa is a flat $170 — pickup, carry-down, and disposal included. No on-site estimate, no walk-up surcharge, no "we'll see when we get there." Here's the full breakdown, what moves the number, and how to pay less.

For comparison, national cost guides like HomeAdvisor put a typical junk-removal job at $150–$600+; volume-based NYC haulers routinely quote a single sofa at $150–$400 once they're on-site.
| Couch type | Flat price |
|---|---|
| Loveseat | $128 |
| Standard sofa / couch | $170 |
| Sleeper / pull-out sofa | $200 |
| Sectional — 2-piece | $190 |
| Sectional — 3-piece | $249 |
| Sectional — 4-piece | $307 |
$75 job minimum (a single small chair, say). Each price is all-in — labor, carry-down, hauling, and disposal. NYC sales tax (8.875%) is added at checkout.
| Option | What a sofa runs | The catch |
|---|---|---|
| DSNY curbside bulk pickup | Free | You haul it to the curb yourself, schedule it, and wait — and a mattress/upholstery needs to be set out right |
| 1-800-GOT-JUNK & volume haulers | ~$150–$400 | Priced by truck space, quoted on-site — the number can jump when they arrive |
| TaskRabbit / gig labor | ~$80–$200 + dump | They carry it down, but disposal and the dump run are on you |
| JunkRabbit | Flat $170 | All-in, photo-quoted up front, same-day, disposal included — no curb, no on-site surprise |
The honest take: DSNY is free if you can carry it down and wait. For everything else, we're usually the lower and the more predictable number — because the quote is the couch, not a guess at truck space.
"Quoted $170 for my sofa from a photo, paid $170. Carried it down from a 4th-floor walk-up, no extra charge. Done in 15 minutes."
"Got a $375 'estimate' from another company for one couch. JunkRabbit was a flat $170, same day. Easy call."
"3-piece sectional, priced at $249 up front, they disassembled it and took it. No games."
A standard sofa is a flat $170, all-in. Loveseat $128, sleeper $200, sectionals $190–$307 by piece count. $75 job minimum, no walk-up surcharge, plus 8.875% NYC sales tax.
They price by truck space and quote on-site, so a single sofa can range $150–$400+. We price the couch flat from a photo — what you see is what you pay.
No walk-up or per-floor charge, and disassembly is included. A sectional just prices by piece count.
Yes — labor, carry-out, hauling, and disposal/recycling are all in the flat price. No dump or fuel fees added later.
