Rated & Reviewed Couch Removalists in Auckland

Chances are your couch is one of your most high-use items in your home. Kiwis spend a lot of time on their sofas – watching movies, entertaining friends, having TV dinners, and cuddling with pets.

With all that use comes wear and tear in the form of spills, tears, pulls from pet claws, discolouration and lumpy cushioning. If we’re lucky, most of us will get a good few years out of our couch, but upgrading is inevitable.

This begs the question: to tip or not to tip? You might have grown tired of your old couch, but as the adage goes: “one man’s trash is another man’s treasure.” Before you rush to take your sofa to the tip, take a moment to think about whether it might still be useable. Who knows? You could end up with some extra cash in your back pocket.

If damage or staining is minor, consider repairing, reupholstering or professional cleaning to give yourself the best chance of finding a new home for your old furniture.

If you’re unable to resell your couch, disposal can be a bit of a rigmarole. Just getting it out of the house is a feat. Sofas are heavy and awkward to lift – and navigating a stairwell can be a recipe for damaged walls! If you don’t have a trailer to help you get it to the nearest tip, expenses can quickly tick up.

A popular option is scheduling an inorganic collection – a free service offered by Auckland City Council. While this is certainly convenient, it doesn’t solve the issue of adding to our growing landfill.

Whatever the scenario: selling, donating, or taking it to the tip; dealing with an old couch often requires a helping hand. A great first stop is to hire a trusted couch removalist via Ezy Peazy.

Read on to discover how Ezy Peazy can help.

Dropping Your Old Couch Off at a Community Recycling Centre

Taking your old sofa to a community recycling centre is a great eco-friendly option. These are places where you can drop off your used, unwanted items for reuse or recycling – and many of them have shops where useable items can be sold. In some cases, the proceeds from these sales will be donated back to the community or other charitable causes. It’s a win-win!

There are several community recycling centres located across Auckland – from Great Barrier Island to Wellsford and many places in between!

If you don't have a big enough vehicle, trailer or the ability to move your couch on your own, Ezy Peazy can help. Simply post a job on the platform and wait to be connected with someone who can pick up your old sofa and take it away for you. 

Gifting your Pre-loved Sofa to Charity

A brand-new couch is a significant expense for a lot of families across New Zealand. If your couch is in a useable condition, why not consider donating it to charity so a family in need can make use of it?

There are a great number of charities that have op-shops in Auckland, such as the Salvation Army, Auckland City Mission, and the Red Cross. Many will gladly take in furniture that can be re-sold, investing the proceeds back into their cause. This is a great way to offload your pre-loved couch for free while doing a good deed. Just make sure you call ahead to confirm whether your chosen charity has space for your item.

Again, actually getting your couch to your chosen charity’s op-shop is the next conundrum! Enlisting the help of one of our friendly couch removalists is simple. Just post a job on the Ezy Peazy platform, sit back and relax while you wait to be connected with someone who can drop your old furniture off for you.

Taking your Couch to a Refuse Station

We get it – your couch may be in such a state that it’s simply beyond recycling or donating to charity and taking it to the tip is your only viable option. If your sofa just isn’t in a useable condition, it’s probably because you’ve been able to squeeze many years of life out of it - which is great!

If you don’t have a trailer, roof racks or the ability to shift your sofa yourself (perhaps you’ve got a bad back), no worries!

Simply head over to Ezy Peazy, find a couch removalist in Auckland who has the means to take your couch to your nearest refuse station and we’ll take care of the rest!
