A sofa is heavy, awkward on the stairs and hard to fit in a car. Your realistic routes are a council collection, the tip, passing it on, or having us carry it out. Here is how they compare, so you can pick the one that takes the least effort.

Your options for an old sofa
Take it to the tip
Fine if you have a vehicle big enough and some help. Check the booking and van rules before you set off.
- You decide when it goes
- No one else needs to come to your home
- You have to lift and load it yourself
- You need a vehicle that fits a sofa
- Rules on vans and booking may catch you out
Sell it or give it away
Worth a try if the sofa is clean and in good shape. Charities usually need a fire safety label on the sofa.
- Someone else gets the use of it
- You may get a little money back
- Buyers can cancel or not turn up
- A worn sofa is hard to pass on
- You still need a plan if nobody wants it

Before you get rid of your sofa
Do
- Measure the sofa and your doorways if you plan to move it yourself
- Look for the fire safety label if you want a charity to take it
- Take clear photos from the front, side and back
- Ask for a price before anyone starts work
Don't
- Leave it on the pavement or in a lane, as that can be fly-tipping
- Hand it to someone without checking they are a registered waste carrier
- Try to carry it down the stairs on your own
- Book a collection without checking how many items it covers

Questions about getting rid of a sofa
Do I have to carry the sofa out myself?
Not if you book us. We carry everything out from inside, so you don't lift a thing.
Can you take other things in the same visit?
Yes. It's the whole job in one visit, with no limit on items, so add the armchair, the mattress and anything else to your photos.
How do I get a price?
Fill in the quote form with a few taps and some photos. We price the job up front, before we start.
Will a charity take my old sofa?
Some will if it's clean, in good shape and has a fire safety label. Check with the charity first, as each one has its own rules.
