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.
