You're Moving... and Stuck With a Couch
It’s always the couch.
Too big for the hallway.

Too heavy to drag to the curb.
And if you’re renting, your landlord isn’t about to help.

Whether you’re on the second floor with no elevator or facing a lease deadline, here’s the straight talk on what to do next.
The 4 Ways to Get Rid of a Couch in Ohio
Here are your four main options for couch disposal across Ohio cities like Cleveland, Akron, Parma, and Lakewood:
A) Curbside Bulk Pickup (City Services)
Most cities offer some version of bulk item pickup. In Cleveland, you can leave furniture out on your regular trash day, but only during your designated “bulk week” if you follow all the rules.
Pros: Free
Cons:
- May require a scheduled pickup
- Limited to certain dates
- You have to get the couch to the curb.
- It can result in fines if you mess it up
Good For: Ground-level apartments and patient people who can wait for the city calendar.
B) Donation (If Couch Is in Good Shape)
Still in decent condition? Try:
- Habitat for Humanity ReStore
- Cleveland Furniture Bank
- Facebook Marketplace (Free Section)
- Nextdoor “Free” listings
But here’s the rub: Most charities won’t take couches that are ripped, stained, smelly, or pet-damaged.
Pros: Free, feel-good
Cons:
- They may say no
- You might wait days for a pickup (if they offer one)
- You may still have to lift and transport it.
Good For: Couches in very good condition with time to spare.
C) DIY Drop-off at a Transfer Station
If you have a truck, a buddy, and a Saturday to kill, you can load it up and take it to a local landfill or transfer station.
Example: Ridge Road Transfer Station in Cleveland
Costs: Usually $20–$50, depending on weight
Pros: Immediate removal
Cons:
- Requires a truck and muscle
- Long lines, dump fees, time off work
- Gross, smelly, and hard to maneuver
Good For: People with trucks, time, and a strong back.
