Disassembly for Tight Spaces
Some furniture won't fit through doorways or down stairwells without disassembly:
- Sectionals: separate at connectors. Standard, no extra fee.
- Sleeper sofas: heavy due to internal mattress. Disassemble base if won't fit. +$30-$50.
- Wood entertainment centers: often need to be partly dismantled — back panel removed, shelves out. +$50-$99.
- Bed frames: standard disassembly included.
Donation vs Disposal Routing
Furniture in good condition gets routed to donation (Goodwill, Salvation Army, Habitat ReStore). Damaged or worn-out furniture goes to bulk recycler — wood to wood recycler, fabric to landfill, metal frames to metal recycler.
You decide on donation vs disposal when we arrive. Some items obvious (clean, structurally sound = donation; ripped, stained, broken = disposal).
California Mattress Recycling Fee
California mandates $11 recycling fee on every mattress sold. Disposal must go through Bye Bye Mattress program. We handle the recycler drop-off; the $35 disposal fee in our pricing covers the recycler intake.
