We asked Christian if he would be so kind to help us move out our old couch and he was SO helpful. We also had items picked up from over 2hrs away and he delivered the same day we realized we couldn’t fit them in our car. 😓😅 A life saver option and help from Christian. - Stephanie
Great experience! The guys were prompt, professional, and very helpful!! They even helped me move my old couch outside to make room for the new one. I will definitely be using this service in the future! - Ali
They were very diligent in getting up all the things that I wanted them to take to the dump and they had to dig for some stuff but they still got it out even the heavy stuff and they’re just very friendly and eager to please I think. - Gonja
They came right away and we’re super helpful and really hustled so we could get her stuff loaded at the dump. Thank you, Lisa - Lisa
Jesus was great! But the dump location was closed. I reached out for help and the answer was that it was the customer’s responsibility to ensure the place is open. Ok fair BUT I don’t recall it was mentioned anywhere. At least you should have a warning message so we do know as customer this is our responsibility! It costs me at least double the expected price!!! - Adeline
We’re very friendly and professional. Set up everything perfectly and disposed of all trash! Is like they were never even here. - Preston
They did a great job taking care of the items I was donating. It showed their professionalism. I really appreciated it! - DM
Friendly and super helpful from boxes to the door and leftovers to recycling bin! Would highly recommend! - Concepcion
Shawn and John were fantastic—professional, efficient, and handled an extremely heavy sleeper sofa with care. They worked quickly, communicated clearly, and made a tough delivery feel seamless. Highly recommend them for any heavy or bulky moves. - Kristian
They chose the best door to get a very heavy sleeper sofa into my living room. It was obviously a lot of work and they had great attitudes while doing it. - Brenda
They were extremely helpful. Went way above and beyond to help me move a sleeper sofa. Thank you guys for the help! So sorry for the hassle! - PerisAnn
Shawn and Jonathan were awesome. We bought a recliner to put in my mother’s room at the retirement village and it wouldn’t fit in the back of my SUV. We needed to coordinate around the meal schedule for the residents and not impede the movement of wheelchairs in and out of the elevator and hallways. Shawn and Jonathan jumped right to it. Got the box in their truck at Costco, followed us to the facility, wheeled it in and up to her room, got it in place and disposed of the box all while warmly greeting residents and staff at the facility including my bedridden Mom. Thank you for making this not only a painless process but pleasant as well. - Michelle
Peter and Jose artfully carried a light gray fabric recliner up 6 flights of stairs with wet paint on the walls and there wasn't a mark. - Sara
Peter and Kyle moved a recliner for me and communicated great to confirm the chair looked good before driving it to my house. Arrived on time, they worked together well to move it into a room in my house. Kind and friendly. - Michelle
Alejandro and Jesse were great! Both were very efficient, cautious with my beautiful sofa and recliner, they were very courteous, and professional. It was a very smooth and pleasant delivery. I hope to have them as my delivery guys in the future. I highly recommend these 2 guys. I would give more stars if I could. Judith Spaulding. - Judith
Jake was very personable, professional and outgoing. His communication skills were outstanding! The CSR at Home Goods was new and had not been read in on Lugg. Jake calmly took the initiative to call me so that I could relay info to her so she would release my recliners to Jake and Ronald. Jake updated me as they entered my neighborhood. They treated my recliners and property with care and asked about placement once inside. All around great experience. I will definitely use Lugg again and recommend your service! - Cynthia
They were fast and polite. I was trying to figure out how I could get my loveseat moved downstairs by myself and it wasn’t happening. I’ll def use Lugg again. - Angie
Worked well together to bring my new chaise and loveseat inside the house! Even with the challenging doorways, they did it! Thank you Omar & Trent! - Jasmine
Jeremy and Henry was able to lift and maneuver my futon around my garage and up the stairs smoothly. It was a quick move and very efficient. I would have them assist in the future. - Jenny
I have a very small place. It was a tight squeeze. They took apart my old futon and put it outside so that we can get my new sofa inside. And we really had to squeeze it threw a lot of stuff to get where it needed to be. They gave me the time to clean up under where the old futon had been and they were very nice and helpful. - Gonja
Leonardo and Khalid were so kind and helpful in bringing a quite large sectional into our second floor apartment. Great communication and efficient moving. They went above and beyond taking care of our new item, picking it up from someone in Carlsbad and bringing it over to me, despite sitting in over an hour of traffic. Very grateful for these two! - Alyssa
We highly recommend Jeremy and Henry. Very professional. They went out of their way to make sure our sectional was properly connected. Carefully removed the packaging. Great attitude. Will hire again when needed. - Jim
Caike and Apolo were amazing. They went above and beyond to move our new sectional couch upstairs, including through a tight door and a stairway with a turn. They removed the feet, and were positive and helpful throughout. What a great experience! - David
Wilson and Ildefonso were amazing! They worked incredibly hard, were friendly and professional, and truly earned every bit of their pay. Thank you both so much for helping me deliver my couch. I really appreciate your hard work and excellent service! - Fnu

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.
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 in San Diego 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.
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.
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.
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 in San Diego for labor only and skip the second address: same movers, no drop-off.
