Get rid of your old sofa, sectional, or loveseat the right way in Palm Beach, Broward, and Miami-Dade.
Quick Answer
Couch removal in South Florida starts at $89 for professional pickup with Umuve — same-day service, all labor included, 90% donated or recycled. County curbside pickup is free but requires advance scheduling and typically a 5-14 day wait. Couches in good condition can be donated to Habitat for Humanity, Salvation Army, or Goodwill.
The fastest option — starting at $89 – $299.
Umuve removes couches and sofas of any size — standard two-seater sofas, oversized sectionals, sleeper sofas, recliners, and outdoor patio sectionals. Two-person crews navigate your furniture through doors, hallways, and staircases. If your sectional does not fit through the door, we disassemble it on-site. Couches in good condition are donated to Habitat for Humanity, Salvation Army, or local shelters. Damaged pieces are broken down — wood frames recycled, foam repurposed, fabric processed.

Free for South Florida residents — but requires advance scheduling.
Palm Beach County SWA bulk pickup accepts couches with advance scheduling. Call (561) 697-2700 or schedule at pbcswa.com. Place at curb by 6 AM on pickup day. Sofas must not exceed 6 feet in any dimension to be accepted. Sectionals must be separated into individual pieces.
Broward County curbside bulk is managed city-by-city. Hollywood allows 4 items per scheduled pickup. Pompano Beach residents call (954) 786-4000. Fort Lauderdale: (954) 828-5150. Most cities have a 5-10 business day lead time. Sectionals count as multiple items.
Miami-Dade unincorporated areas allow up to 2 bulk items curbside per week without scheduling. City of Miami residents schedule at 311. Couches in Hialeah must be called in at (305) 883-5800. Items must not block sidewalk or street.
Habitat for Humanity ReStores in Boca Raton, Deerfield Beach, and Fort Lauderdale accept couches in excellent condition — no stains, tears, pet damage, or odor. The Salvation Army Family Stores in Miami-Dade and Broward offer free furniture pickup for qualifying donations (call your local store to schedule). Goodwill in Palm Beach County accepts couches in very good condition. Local Facebook Marketplace and the Buy Nothing groups are excellent for free rehoming — post your couch with clear photos and it often disappears within hours, especially for quality pieces.
If donation is not an option and you want to avoid pickup fees, renting a truck is the primary DIY route. A 10-foot U-Haul runs $19.95 + mileage. Broward County Solid Waste transfer stations accept furniture for $50-$80 per load. Palm Beach County SWA South County transfer station charges by weight. You will need a helper — couches are bulky and awkward even when light. Alternatively, breaking down the couch: remove cushions (bag for trash), cut fabric with a utility knife to remove upholstery (trash), separate foam (compress into bags), and haul the wood/metal frame to a scrap yard or schedule a metal pickup.

A standard sofa contains 30-50 lbs of foam, 20-40 lbs of hardwood or engineered wood framing, 15-25 lbs of steel springs and hardware, and 10-20 lbs of fabric and padding. When landfilled, the foam (polyurethane) takes 500+ years to break down and off-gasses toxic compounds as it degrades. Foam from recycled sofas is processed into carpet underlay, saving virgin polyurethane production. Wood frames are chipped into mulch or recycled as engineered lumber components. Umuve donates 90% of collected couches or recovers materials.
Unscheduled bulk items are a code violation in virtually every South Florida city. HOA fines run $50-$200/day. A neighbor's complaint is often all it takes for a citation. Always schedule with your city first.
Many people give up and leave a sectional or oversized sofa because it seems impossible to move. Experienced movers and junk removal crews deal with this daily — disassembly, vertical tilting, and door-frame removal are all standard techniques.
Posting a couch as "free" and then canceling on people who commit to picking it up wastes their time and forces you to repeat the process. If you list it, keep the time slot.
A sectional sofa in good condition can sell for $150-$600 on Facebook Marketplace or Craigslist in South Florida. Before booking removal, take 5 minutes to photograph it and post. If it sells, you get paid instead of paying.
