Couch and Sofa Removal in NYC

Getting rid of a sofa in a New York City apartment is harder than it sounds. Tight prewar stairwells, fifth-floor walk-ups, and bulky sectionals that won't make the corner — it's not a one-person job. JunkRabbit haulers carry your couch out from inside your apartment, from any floor, and disassemble sectionals on-site when needed. No stair surcharge. No extra charge for sectional disassembly.

Sofa / Couch$170
Sectional Sofa$249
Loveseat$160
Sleeper Sofa$200
Futon$150
Recliner$132

How it works

1. Upload a photo

Snap a pic of your furniture. We identify the exact item and size.

2. Instant quote

Get an itemized price in 7 seconds. No phone calls, no in-person estimates.

3. Same-day pickup

Vetted NYC haulers compete for your job. Pickup often available the same day.

What we take — and what we don't

✓ We take

Sofas, sectionals, mattresses, dressers, tables, desks, bookshelves, appliances (fridges, washers, dryers), TVs & electronics, exercise equipment — and full apartment cleanouts.

✗ We can't take

Hazardous materials — paint, chemicals, propane tanks, asbestos, or medical waste. Not sure about an item? Send a photo and we'll tell you in seconds.

♻️ We donate & recycle

Usable furniture goes to local donation centers; mattresses, metal, and e-waste are recycled per NYC rules — so less ends up in landfill.

Why NYC chooses JunkRabbit over the big guys

Instant flat price

An itemized total in 7 seconds — no phone calls, no in-home estimates, no waiting on a callback. The price you see when you book is the price you pay at the door.

No surprise fees

National franchises pad the bill with fuel, stair, and disposal charges. Our flat rate covers everything — the same price on a 5th-floor walk-up as on the ground floor, same price same-day as next-day.

Same-day, every borough

Local vetted haulers compete for your job. Pickup is often available the same day across all five boroughs — Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, and Staten Island.

How to Get Rid of Furniture in NYC

Moving, renovating, or clearing out an apartment in New York City? Furniture disposal has more rules here than most cities. Here's what you need to know before you decide.

NYC DSNY free bulk pickup

The City of New York offers free curbside collection of large furniture items for all residents. A few rules determine whether this works for your situation:

This option works well if you have one or two pieces, enough time to wait for your next scheduled collection day, and a way to get the furniture to the curb yourself.

Full-service furniture removal — JunkRabbit

If you need furniture removed today, have heavy pieces on an upper floor, or have more than 6 items, full-service pickup is the faster option. JunkRabbit haulers come inside your apartment and carry everything out — from any floor, any building type, walk-up or elevator. Flat-rate pricing from $75, no hidden fees at the door.

Frequently asked questions

How much does furniture removal cost in NYC?

Sofa — $170. Sectional Sofa $249. Loveseat $160. Sleeper sofa $200. Futon $150. Recliner $132. Minimum order $75. All prices are flat-rate — no walk-up, borough, or same-day surcharges.

Can you do same-day furniture removal?

Yes — upload your photos and select "same-day" at checkout. Same-day is the same flat price as any other booking. No rush fee.

Do I need to move it to the curb?

No. Our haulers come inside and carry everything out from any floor.

Do you carry it down stairs or from a walk-up?

Yes — our haulers handle the heavy lifting from any floor, walk-up or elevator. There's no stair or walk-up surcharge. Our crews also bring tools to disassemble sectionals on-site when needed, at no extra charge.

Is same-day pickup more expensive?

No — same-day is the same flat price, subject to hauler availability (usually wide open across NYC).

How do I pay?

You pay securely online by card when you book — no cash needed at pickup. The flat price you see is the price you pay, with nothing added at the door.

Do you donate or recycle?

Yes — we donate usable furniture and recycle mattresses, metal, and e-waste per NYC rules whenever possible.

Can I leave furniture on the curb in NYC for free pickup?

Yes — NYC's Department of Sanitation (DSNY) offers free bulk item pickup for all NYC residents. Place up to 6 large items at the curb between 6 PM and midnight the night before your scheduled collection day. Mattresses must be sealed in a plastic bag first. DSNY will not enter your building or carry items downstairs — it's curbside only, and the pickup date depends on your collection schedule. If you need furniture removed today, or if it's on an upper floor, JunkRabbit provides same-day full-service pickup from inside your apartment, starting at $75.

What are the rules for throwing out a sofa or couch in NYC?

Sofas and upholstered furniture can go out with your regular trash on your collection day — no special appointment needed. Place the couch at the curb between 6 PM and midnight the night before collection. If the sofa contains a metal pull-out sleeper frame, the metal frame must be separated and placed out on recycling day. Mattresses require a sealed plastic bag. DSNY does not collect items from inside buildings.

Do you charge extra for walk-up buildings or stairs?

No. JunkRabbit charges a flat rate regardless of floor, stair count, or building type. The price in your instant quote is the price you pay — whether the pickup is on the ground floor or the seventh floor of a walk-up. No stair fee, no elevator fee, no borough surcharge.

What is the fastest way to get rid of a couch in NYC?

Same-day professional pickup. Upload a photo of your couch, get a flat-rate price in 7 seconds, and book. JunkRabbit haulers come inside your apartment and carry the couch out — you don't need to drag it to the curb. A standard sofa is $170, flat rate. Same-day pickup is available across all five boroughs.

Where does my furniture go after JunkRabbit picks it up?

Usable furniture goes to local NYC donation centers. Mattresses, metal, and e-waste are recycled per NYC Department of Sanitation rules. Items that can't be donated or recycled go to licensed solid waste disposal facilities. We aim to keep as much as possible out of landfill.

How much does it cost to remove a couch or sofa in NYC?

JunkRabbit charges $170 for a standard sofa or couch, $160 for a loveseat, $132 for a recliner, $150 for a futon, and $200 for a sleeper sofa. Sectional sofa removal is $249. All prices are flat-rate — no extra charge for walk-ups, boroughs, or same-day pickup.

Do you remove furniture from co-op and doorman buildings in NYC?

Yes. Our haulers are experienced with NYC co-op and doorman building protocols, including freight elevator scheduling and building management requirements. If your building has specific removal hours or requires advance notice to the superintendent, let us know when you book and we'll coordinate accordingly.

Do you offer same-day furniture removal in all five NYC boroughs?

Yes — same-day pickup is available in Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, and Staten Island. Select "same-day" at checkout. Availability is typically wide open across all boroughs, and same-day carries the same flat price as any other booking.
