Austin, TX

Not only did they bring a couch and chair from super south Austin to north Central Austin, they pushed it all the way up my huge hilly walkway and even moved my old couch and chair to the curb. AND they played with my dogs! This is my second hire of this duo and they are AMAZING. Worth the money + the tip, and even more. - Jessica

I booked on short notice at 9 pm and they were at the location 5 minutes early. They had the job loaded in 5 minutes. At my end they moved the old couch out, the new one in, and were more than willing to extend themselves in any other way I might need. I could not have asked for a better experience. - Sheridan

Omarr and Abel were fantastic. We were their last job of the day, but you’d never have known it by how energetic and professional they were!They were personable, considerate, and worked efficiently the whole time. They were also great with our dog, and even helped haul our old couch out before bringing the new one up several flights of stairs. They took great care; no scuffs or close calls. Would absolutely book Lugg again if these two were on the job. Thank you! - Emma

They were not only on time but a few minutes early. When we got to my place, to make room for the new couch, they moved my old couch from the house to the back of my friend's truck in the driveway. I was also concerned about fitting the new couch through the front door, which was narrower than the norm because the house was built in the 1930s when everything was smaller(!). But they were careful and watched the edges/corners, and they made it look easy. Great service all around. - Kathryn

AMAZING! They were professional, wrapped the couch in cellophane and even sent me a picture asking if I knew the feet on the back were missing. I sent the person I got it from a message and she found them and brought them to my house where they installed them before they set it up. They took my old couches outside for me and even moved a cabinet up to the driveway on their way out. I’d give them ten stars if I could. I tipped them in cash which is why I’m not leaving one here. I am definitely a customer for life. - Karen

These men went above and beyond, they were very helpful, friendly and followed the instructions I gave them about how to get into the first location. They they arrived on time actually more like a few minutes before the time listed and they were quick and put things in the spot we requested of them as well at our drop off. And everything thing was handled with care. They even helped us move out the old couch and took it for us so we didn’t have to wait for another Lugg person to come on a different day. Although that was a different transition they was more then helpful enough to get that together for us. We will be using Lugg again. Thanks again Danovan and Jesus. 😁 - Tiffany

The job was to move 3 pieces of old furniture to the curb for a city of Berkeley bulky pickup. They had to move two pieces of heavy furniture from the second floor, around a sharp corner and down some narrow stairs. They also had to move a heavy old couch outside. They were excellent!! They were super friendly even though they had to pick up dirty old furniture. They did everything very quickly and were careful to make sure that my cats did not get outside during the removal of the furniture. - Karen

How to get rid of a couch

Getting rid of a couch takes two things: somewhere that will take it, and a way to get it there. You find the destination, whether that's a dump, a recycling center or a donation center, and a couch removal service does the carrying and the driving. Lugg movers are on the way within an hour, or you pick a one-hour window that suits you. They carry the sofa out of whatever room it's sitting in, load it, and drive it to the drop-off, so you're neither wrestling it down a stairwell nor borrowing a truck to reach a transfer station. One booking can make up to five stops, which is what a living-room swap usually needs: the sectional that's still good goes to a donation center and the broken recliner goes to the dump. Lugg is an on-demand moving and delivery service that carries an old couch out of the building and hauls it to the dump, recycling center or donation center you name.

What couch removal costs

Couch disposal is priced per job rather than as a flat fee. You'll see your estimate before you book. It's based on the vehicle you choose plus the labor time the movers spend, priced by the minute. There's no hourly minimum, so a single sofa down one flight doesn't get rounded up to a half-day block. A walk-up, a long carry out to the street and a slow elevator all take longer, and that time reads as labor minutes. You can cancel any time before the movers arrive at no charge.

Whichever facility takes the couch charges its own fee for accepting it, based on weight. Your Luggers pay that on site so you don't need to go along, and it reaches your card as a separate charge after the Lugg is finished. It sits outside your estimate rather than inside it.

Where the old couch actually goes

The drop-off address goes on the booking the same way any second stop would. If the sofa is still in good shape, a donation center is usually the cheapest ending it can have.

Charities set their own condition standards rather than following one national rule, most won't take a couch that's torn or stained, and a piece can still be turned down when it arrives at the door. A rejection costs you the trip and leaves you with the couch and a second run to the dump, so check with your local center that they'll take it before you put their address on the booking. If it isn't in good enough shape to donate, sofa disposal means a transfer station or landfill, which takes it by weight.

Sofa removal: getting it out is the hard part

A couch on the way out doesn't need measuring. It came in through that door once, so it goes out through it. What's left is weight and angles. A sleeper hides a steel folding frame and weighs far more than the same sofa without one. A sectional splits into pieces that travel one at a time. A full-size couch in a narrow stairwell turns on the landing, not the doorway.

Lugg can move items up to 250 lbs each, or up to 125 lbs on a Lugg Lite. Pick the vehicle for the load when you book, and add a second stop if part of the set is going somewhere different from the rest.

Curbside day, a charity pickup, or a haul-away

There are three usual ways to get rid of a sofa: the curb, a charity, or a haul-away. If your city runs a bulk pickup day and you can wait for the date, that's the cheapest way to lose a couch, as long as you can get it to the curb yourself. That last part is where most people stop, because a sofa is manageable across a level driveway and close to impossible down three flights.

A charity will sometimes collect it for free, on their truck and their calendar, and the same condition standards decide whether they take it. A couch haul-away is for when the couch has to be gone on a date you pick rather than one you're offered. And if your city is already collecting from the curb and the only hard part is the staircase, book Lugg for labor only and skip the second address: same movers, no drop-off.
