What happens to your couch after pickup
Couches in good condition — no rips, stains, or structural damage — are donated to local charities like Habitat for Humanity ReStore, Goodwill, or Salvation Army. Couches that can't be donated are taken to licensed disposal facilities. Wood frames are sometimes separated for recycling, and metal components (springs, frames) are sent to scrap processors. Fabric and foam that can't be recycled are disposed of responsibly at permitted solid waste facilities.
Why Modesto residents choose Dropcurb for couch removal
Modesto's city program gives you 2 free bulky pickups per year, but that's it — anything beyond requires private haulers at $240-$263 average or driving to the Bertolotti Transfer Station yourself. Dropcurb starts at $79 with same-day curbside pickup, no phone calls, no load-size guessing.
