Furniture Removal in Wilmington, DE
Old couch, sagging sectional, a dresser nobody wants? Point at it. Our crew carries it out of any room, down any staircase, and hauls it away. You get the price before we pick anything up.
What we haul
Every kind of furniture, from one recliner to a full house
If it’s furniture and it’s in your way, we take it. Indoors, outdoors, upstairs, in the basement or already at the curb.
Getting rid of the mattress too? See mattress removal. Clearing a whole house? That’s an estate cleanout.
Tight stairs, no problem
Built for Wilmington rowhouses and walk-ups
A lot of the furniture we haul in Wilmington comes out of brick rowhouses in Trolley Square, Little Italy and the Highlands, where the stairs are steep, the turns are tight and the front steps go straight to the sidewalk. Downtown, it’s apartments with a freight elevator you have to book.
That’s why we show up with straps, blankets and tools, not just a truck.
- We walk the route firstRoom to truck, before anything moves. We spot the tight turn or low ceiling before the couch gets stuck on it.
- We take it apart when it won’t fitSectionals split at the brackets, legs and headboards come off, and doors come off their hinges if needed. They go back on before we leave.
- We protect what staysMoving blankets on banisters and door frames, so your walls and railings don’t pay for the old furniture.
- We coordinate the buildingIn apartment buildings, tell us the rules. We plan around elevator reservations and loading areas.
Furniture removal cost
What furniture removal costs in Wilmington
We price by how much room your furniture takes in the truck, not by the hour. Here’s what Wilmington customers typically pay. The exact all-in price is confirmed on site, and nothing gets lifted until you agree to it.
What moves the price: weight (a sleeper sofa is far heavier than a loveseat), how far we carry it, how many flights of stairs, and whether it has to be taken apart to get out.

After pickup
Where your old furniture goes
We sort every load before it goes anywhere, so a decent dresser doesn’t end up in the same pile as a broken futon.
Donated
Solid pieces with no rips, stains, pet damage or missing parts get set aside for donation to local charities.
Recycled
Steel sleeper frames, metal bed rails, recliner mechanisms and patio furniture go to scrap metal recycling.
Disposed of properly
Worn-out and broken pieces go to the Delaware Solid Waste Authority’s Cherry Island Landfill in Wilmington.
When people call us
Moving, selling, upgrading or clearing out a rental
Moving out. The new place doesn’t have room for the old sectional, and the movers charge by weight. We take what’s not making the trip, before or after moving day.
New furniture coming. Not every store hauls away the old piece, and some charge extra for it. We clear the room so the delivery crew can walk right in.
Selling a house. Realtors want rooms staged or empty before photos. We pull out the furniture that won’t stay, and anything left behind after closing.
Landlords and property managers. A tenant left a couch and a broken bed frame in the unit? We clear it fast so the turnover stays on schedule. See commercial junk removal for multiple units.
FAQ
Furniture removal questions
How much does couch removal cost in Wilmington, DE?
A single couch or sofa typically runs $100 to $225. The low end is a standard sofa sitting by the door. The high end is a heavy sleeper sofa or a big sectional coming down a narrow staircase. Add more pieces to the same trip and you pay by truck space, which brings the cost per piece down.
Do I need to empty the drawers first?
It helps. Pull out anything you want to keep, papers and valuables especially. If the rest of the contents are junk too, leave them in and we’ll take everything. They just count toward the space in the truck.
Can you get a sectional out of a rowhouse or a third-floor apartment?
Yes. Narrow rowhouse stairs and walk-up apartments are a normal day for us in Wilmington. We split sectionals at the connectors, take off legs and headboards, and if a door is in the way we take it off its hinges and put it back before we leave.
Do you donate old furniture?
When it’s in good shape. Pieces without rips, stains, pet damage or missing parts get set aside for donation. Charities decide what they accept, so we can’t promise every piece will be taken, but we don’t send usable furniture to the landfill when there’s another option.
Will the city pick up my couch for free?
Wilmington’s special pick-up through 311 does take bulky items like furniture, as long as you get them to the curb. If the couch is still inside, upstairs or you need it gone on a specific day, that’s where we come in.
Do you take sleeper sofas and recliners?
Yes. Sleeper sofas carry a steel fold-out frame that makes them much heavier than they look, and power recliners have motors and cords. We handle both, and the metal parts go to scrap recycling.
