So, you and your sofa have decided to consciously uncouple. It happens to the best of us. If you're staging this breakup within the five boroughs of New York City, you're in luck, because the city offers a surprisingly simple and free solution for your furniture farewell.
There's no need to find a secret "dump" or illegally leave it in an alleyway. According to NYC's official channels, your sofa is a "bulk item," and the city provides free curbside removal for residents. Your curb is the designated dumping ground, legally speaking.
The process is straightforward: simply haul the sofa to the curb between 6 PM and midnight on the evening before your designated bulk collection day. You can send off up to six large items at once, so if the matching armchair also wronged you, it can go too. This convenient service is a perk of living in NYC, so if you're located elsewhere, you'll have to consult your own local waste to see if they're as understanding about your domestic disputes.
