Couch disposal

Part of Junk removal

BoxHauls · Reviewed by John Marcus IV

Couch removal with BoxHauls costs $17.00 plus $3.10 a mile, plus the dump fee at cost. A driver carries it out and hauls it away, so you don’t have to wait for a city pickup. Book it as Dump Run. It’s part of junk removal and dump runs.

A couch that’s clean and intact may be donated. A couch with stains, tears, broken frames or pet damage goes to the dump. [TODO: whether drivers drop items at donation centers]

Fresno’s bulky-item pickup

The City of Fresno’s Operation Clean Up collects bulky items on a schedule by area. Clovis runs its own program. If your turn is weeks away and the couch needs to go now, a BoxHauls run is the faster option. [TODO: current Operation Clean Up schedule, what’s excluded, and the Clovis program]
