To dispose of a sofa in New York City, you can utilize the free curbside removal service for bulk items provided for residential buildings. A sofa is classified as a bulk item because it is too large to fit into a standard trash bin or bag.
According to official guidelines, residents can place up to six bulk items out for a single collection. The proper procedure is to place the sofa curbside between 6 PM and midnight on the evening before your designated bulk trash, or "large item," collection day. As a non-recyclable item, it should be set out with other large, non-recyclable trash for pickup by the Department of Sanitation.
