How to Get Rid of a Couch in Janesville and Rock County

Updated

Short answer

It depends on where you live. Beloit collects a sofa for $30 (prepaid and scheduled), Town of Beloit residents can drop one for $10, the Town of Union center charges $25 ($50 for a sectional), and Milton includes one free bulk pickup a month. Janesville has no curbside pickup: $12 a carload at the landfill. Hired removal runs $75 to $150 a piece.

Orfordville and the Town of Janesville cap bulk items at 50 pounds that one person can handle, which rules out most full-size couches. Other towns are in the full bulk pickup table.

Hired removal

HomeAdvisor puts furniture removal at $75 to $150 per piece. It makes sense when the couch is in a basement, when you have more than one piece, or when the next pickup date is weeks away. See furniture removal.
