Book by 2pm for same-day pickup.

Choose items or browse the full catalog.

A sofa ready outside an open doorway, with an empty room behind it and a clear path alongside.
Once it’s outside, we handle the loading and haul-away.

Ready for it to go

The old sofa can stop holding up your plans.

You know it needs to go. The price, the pickup day and knowing it is done should be easy to settle, too.

A replacement is on the way.

Give the old couch its own pickup day. Check what your retailer will remove, then book the part you still need handled.

The move has enough moving parts.

See the price before you book and choose from the available dates. One less job to arrange before handing back the keys.

You are ready for the space back.

You do not need a whole room to clear. Book the sofa, recliner or sectional that needs to go, and follow the pickup through updates and photos.

The right sofa. The right price.

Count the sections, not the cushions.

A loveseat, a sleeper and a sectional can look similar in a photo. Match the shape and features so your online price covers what is actually going.

Three structural sectional modules slightly separated, with all cushions remaining on their bases.
This example has three structural sections. The cushions do not add to the count.

A straight sofa or loveseat

Choose Standard sofa for fixed seats with no pull-out bed or reclining mechanism. One whole sofa is one item.

A sectional

Count its structural sections, not the loose cushions. Choose the piece count, then check for a sleeper or reclining feature. One sectional booking covers the configuration you select.

A pull-out bed or reclining seats

Choose Sleeper sofa or Reclining sofa for those mechanisms. A single reclining chair has its own Recliner choice. All sofa types also includes futons and sofas with a chaise.

On-call burnable collection

New Britain collects upholstered and wooden furniture, rugs and bundled wood through an on-call burnable collection, with three free collections of up to five items a year for a single family home.

City cost & eligibility
No charge. A single family home gets three on-call burnable collections of up to five items each fiscal year, which runs July 1 to June 30.

Extra collections cost 20 dollars for the first item and 10 dollars for each additional item.
When & how
Call the City's contractor at 860-793-6721 or book online to set the appointment, and coordinate with the other units in a multi-family building so no more than five items per unit go out on the appointment date.
Get it ready

The handoff matters

Right item.
Right place.

New Britain splits large item collection in two

Burnable material covers upholstered and wooden items such as couches, chairs, recliners, rugs and bundled wood, and it is booked by appointment with three free collections of up to five items a year for a single family home. Non-burnable material covers appliances, metal furniture, exercise machines, bathtubs and toilets, with one free collection of up to five items a year. Getting the pile into the wrong program is the most common way a collection is refused.

Taking it somewhere yourself?

New Britain has no landfill of its own, so the self haul route is the City's Residential Recycling Center at 642 Christian Lane in Berlin, about ten minutes out of town. It is open Monday through Friday from 7:00 a.m. to 2:15 p.m., on the second and fourth Saturdays from April through October, and every Saturday in November from 7:00 a.m. to 11:45 a.m., and the City publishes the fiscal year Saturday openings and holiday closings. Mattresses, electronics and metal waste are free there, and the City's guide also lists appliances without Freon, metal recreational equipment such as swingsets, exercise equipment and grills without tanks, metal bed frames, metal doors, metal furniture, microwaves, yard equipment, oil tanks dry and cut in half, water heaters and radiators, and toilets, tubs and sinks as free to dispose of or to put out on an on-call collection. General waste such as household trash and construction debris is charged at 160 dollars a ton with minimum transactions of 10 dollars up to 100 pounds and 20 dollars from 101 to 240 pounds. Propane cylinders are 2 dollars for a one pound cylinder, 15 dollars up to 20 pounds and 20 dollars above, batteries are 5 dollars, and tires are 10 dollars each up to 20 inches, 25 dollars each from 20 to 24 inches and 60 dollars each at 25 inches and above, with no large equipment tires. Leaves also come to the Center in the fall and spring leaf programs, and the City lists household hazardous waste collection days as a separate service with dates on its environmental services calendar.

Before you book

A few things
worth knowing.

Couch removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in New Britain.

How much does couch removal cost in New Britain?

A standard sofa is $79 as the first item and $29 additional. Sectionals, sleepers and reclining sofas have their own choices. Select everything that is going to see the combined price before booking. Loading, transportation and disposal are included; any applicable sales tax appears before payment.

Can you pick up my couch today?

Book by 2pm in the pickup address’s local time for same-day pickup. Available dates appear at checkout. Have the couch outside and accessible according to your confirmation. We send pickup updates and photos when it is done; the booking is for a day rather than an exact arrival time.

How do I book a sectional for removal?

Open Sectional in the sofa choices, count its structural sections, and select any sleeper or reclining feature. Count the sections with their own bases, not loose cushions. The matching catalog choice covers one complete sectional of that configuration. Text a photo before booking if you are unsure.

Will you carry my couch out of my apartment?

Dropcurb starts outside. Arrange for the sofa to be moved through the apartment and down interior stairs before pickup. We load and haul it away from an accessible outdoor spot. Arrange any dismantling needed to get it outside beforehand.

Do I need to wait at home for couch pickup?

You do not need to be home when your booked sofa is outside and accessible. Add photos and pickup-location notes to your order so the right pieces are easy to identify. We send updates and completion photos. Confirm any building access restrictions with us before booking.

What can go out in a burnable collection?

Rugs and carpeting, couches, chairs and recliners, plastic furniture, toys, wooden furniture, and wood no longer than four feet that is tied, bundled and taped. Loose wood, yard clippings and fencing have special instructions, so ask Public Works at 860-826-3350.Official guidance

How many burnable collections does a household get?

A single family home gets three on-call burnable collections of up to five items each fiscal year, which runs July 1 to June 30, and the property owner books the appointment. Extra collections beyond the allowance cost 20 dollars for the first item and 10 dollars for each additional item.Official guidance

What can go out in a non-burnable collection?

Appliances including refrigerators, freezers, dehumidifiers and air conditioners with Freon, washers, dryers, stoves, dishwashers and microwaves, furnaces and water heaters, bathtubs, sinks, toilets and vanities, metal doors, metal bedframes, metal furniture, bicycles, exercise machines, cement mixers, snowblowers with no fluids, lawnmowers with fluids removed, dismantled swingsets, pipes bundled up to four feet, tanks cut in half, and limited packaged amounts of building debris, bricks, rocks, sheetrock, shingles and siding.Official guidance

How many non-burnable items can go out?

A single family home gets one free collection of up to five items a year. A two to six family building gets one free service for the whole building on the appointment date, with up to five items per unit, so the building total runs from ten items for a two family to thirty for a six family. An extra collection costs 50 dollars for up to five items.Official guidance

Where does a sleeper sofa go?

The non-burnable list accepts a sleeper sofa only on its metal bedframe, while the burnable list covers couches, chairs and recliners. A sleeper sofa is therefore split between the two programs, so ask Public Works at 860-826-3350 how the piece should be presented before the appointment.Official guidance

Who collects trash in New Britain?

The City of New Britain Public Works Department runs the service and uses CWPM as its rubbish and recycling contractor. Public Works is at 27 West Main Street on the 5th floor, telephone 860-826-3350, and the contractor's collection appointment line is 860-793-6721.Official guidance

What large item programs does New Britain run?

Two, both booked by appointment. The burnable collection takes couches, chairs, recliners, rugs, carpeting, wooden and plastic furniture, toys and bundled wood, and the non-burnable collection takes appliances, metal furniture, exercise machines, bathtubs, toilets and packaged building debris. A single family home gets three burnable collections of up to five items and one non-burnable collection of up to five items each fiscal year.Official guidance

What do the collections and drop-off fees cost?

The annual allowances are free. An extra burnable collection costs 20 dollars for the first item and 10 dollars for each additional item, and an extra non-burnable collection costs 50 dollars for up to five items. At the Recycling Center, mattresses, electronics and metal waste are free, general waste is 160 dollars a ton with minimum transactions, batteries are 5 dollars, propane runs from 2 to 20 dollars and tires run from 10 to 60 dollars each by size.Official guidance

How does a multi-family building book collections?

A two to six family building gets one free non-burnable service for all units on the appointment date with up to five items per unit, so the building total runs from ten items for a two family to thirty for a six family. Burnable collections run at two per dwelling unit with a maximum of eight, and the owner or tenants have to coordinate so no more than five items per unit go out at once.Official guidance

What can go in the blue recycling container?

The blue container is a single stream program, so paper, newspaper, cardboard, box board, plastics numbered 1 through 7, glass and aseptic cartons can be mixed in it, and the City asks residents to keep non recyclable material out because contamination costs the City money. The guide lists co-mingled recycling as free at the Recycling Center as well as at the curb.Official guidance

How do leaves go out?

In paper leaf bags only, on the citywide collection routes, with no plastic bags, no tape or staples, and no more than 40 pounds per bag. Bags are for leaves only, so sticks, pine needles, acorns, brush and rubbish go in the regular trash and grass is composted in the backyard or left on the lawn. The Recycling Center is the drop-off site for overweight bags.Official guidance
