If still has a useful life consider donating to one of the thrift stores.
No life left, call trash company for a pickup.

Bulk pickup from TV utilities is $10 - no limit to how much you can put out, same price.

If you don’t want to give to Habitat for Humanity, put ad for free couch on this site and on Nextdoor site.

Yes - get rid of it by dropping it off near the highway somewhere - plenty of company there!!

We had a couch that we thought was beyond useful life. Arranged special pickup. Put it out in the driveway the night before. Within 30 minutes it was gone. So I guess you could go either way. But donation is always good.

A couple of years ago we had a lift recliner that the mechanical part had broken. We called someone to come and haul it away and put it next to our door (outside). It wasn't long someone rang our doorbell (it was a worker of some kind) asking if they could take it. I told them it's broken and he said he didn't care. I said, "have at it!" The called the previous "hauler" to cancel. You just never know here.
