What Happens to Your Old Couch? Here’s How We Recycle It

When you buy a couch from Couch Bros, we haul away your old one for a small fee. But ever wonder where that old sofa actually goes?

Step 1: Donation First

If your couch is in decent shape, we partner with local charities to donate it to someone in need. Reuse is the greenest choice.

Step 2: Recycling Materials

If it’s too damaged, we strip it for parts:

  • Wood frames = recycled or reused
  • Foam = reprocessed for insulation or padding
  • Fabric = sent to textile recyclers


Step 3: Eco-Friendly Disposal

Any remaining materials go to waste facilities that follow NC recycling protocols — not just dumped in a landfill.

🛋️ By buying from Couch Bros, you’re helping reduce furniture waste. One couch at a time.
