How couch removal works in Chicago
1 · Send a photo
A photo or two of the couch and the stairs. You get a flat price back fast — no in-home estimate.
2 · Pick a time
Same-day is often available across the city and suburbs. For a tower we file the COI and book the freight elevator.
3 · We carry it out
Down the front or back stairs, into the truck. Usable couches donated, the rest recycled or hauled.
How much does couch removal cost in Chicago?

Couch removal vs. the alternatives in Chicago
| Option | Cost | Speed | The catch |
|---|---|---|---|
| City bulk pickup (311) | Free (limited) | Days–weeks | You haul it down to the alley or curb yourself, scheduled through 311; won't enter a building |
| Haul it yourself | Truck rental + transfer fee + your day | Slow | You carry it down the back stairs and pay disposal; nothing donated |
| JunkRabbit | Flat, from $126 | Same day if there's room | None — we carry it out, split sectionals, handle the COI, and donate what we can |
Why city pickup can't really take your couch
Chicago's bulk-item collection runs through 311 and Streets & Sanitation, and the couch has to be hauled out to the alley or curb yourself, on the city's timeline. It won't enter a River North or South Loop tower with a freight-elevator and COI requirement, and dragging a sleeper sofa down a three-flat's back stairs isn't a one-person job. We pick up on your schedule, do the carry, and donate or recycle what's still good.
Built for Chicago's stairs, back porches, and towers
Getting a couch out of a Chicago home is mostly about access: the third-floor walk-up in a Lakeview or Logan Square three-flat, the wooden back-porch stairs, the tight greystone turn, the reserved freight-elevator window and Certificate of Insurance in a River North, Streeterville, or South Loop tower. We're built for all of it — we split sectionals into pieces to clear a tight stairwell or cabin, protect the banisters and common areas, and fold the whole carry into one flat number. A third-floor walk-up costs the same as the ground floor.
What happens to your old couch
A couch in good shape goes to local donation rather than the landfill; worn pieces are broken down so the metal, wood, and foam are recycled where possible, and only the rest is hauled. Keeping usable furniture out of the waste stream is included in the flat price.
When people book couch removal
- Lease turns & moves — the old couch gone the day the lease flips.
- Upgrades — new sofa arriving, old one out the same day.
- Downsizing & estates — clearing a longtime bungalow or two-flat.
- Worn-out sectionals — the big one that never fit the stairs going in and won't fit going out.
Why Chicago picks us for couches
- Flat photo price — by the piece, no per-flight surcharge.
- Sectionals split for tight three-flat turns and freight elevators — one price.
- Buildings handled — same-day COI and freight-elevator booking for towers.
- Donation included, same day if there's room.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does couch removal cost in Chicago?
Flat, photo-quoted: sofa $126, loveseat $95, sleeper sofa $149, 2-piece sectional $141, 3-piece $185, 4-piece $228. $75 minimum. The stair-carry and disposal are included — no per-flight surcharge.
Will you carry a couch down a no-elevator three-flat?
Yes — that's most of what we do in Chicago. Three-flats, greystone walk-ups, and tight back-stair turns are our specialty, and the carry is included in the flat quote.
My sectional won't fit the stairwell — can you split it?
Yes. We break sectionals into their pieces to clear a tight three-flat back stair or a River North freight elevator. It's still one flat price.
Do you handle the building COI for a River North or South Loop tower?
Yes — we provide your building's Certificate of Insurance the same day and book the freight-elevator window.
How do you get a couch out of a three-flat?
Down the front stairs or out the back porch stairwell, whichever the couch allows — padded, tipped, and split if needed. A sofa is a flat $126 regardless of floor.
Can you take it out through the alley?
If the building's access works that way, gladly — alley staging keeps the street clear and the neighbors happy. Same flat price.
Do you remove sleeper sofas?
Yes — sleepers are $149 with the pull-out frame locked and included. No oversized upcharge.
What happens to my couch after pickup?
Good-condition couches go to donation first; the rest is broken down so frame metal recycles, with no separate dump fee.
How fast can a couch be gone?
Often today — book by mid-afternoon and same-day windows are usually open across the North, West, and South Sides.
