Places that don’t take couches (2)

Before you go

  1. Check whether it’s clean and intact enough to donate; many charities turn down stains, tears or pet damage.
  2. Ask whether sectional pieces or a sleeper sofa are priced separately.
  3. Confirm the fee, and whether you bring it in or schedule a pickup.
