Furniture Removal & Couch Haul-Away

Old couches and sectionals are heavy, awkward and don't fit in most cars. We carry furniture out of any room, down stairs and through tight hallways, load it and haul it away so you don't have to rent a truck or wait for a bulky item pickup.

How do I get rid of an old couch in San Diego?

You can donate a couch in good condition, self-haul it to a landfill or transfer station, or hire a hauler. The City of San Diego's curbside bulky item pickup is paused, so Pacific Haul & Wash carries the couch out from any room, loads it and hauls it away the same visit.

Will a donation center take my used furniture?

Often, if it is clean and undamaged. Goodwill San Diego and Father Joe's Villages accept gently used household goods, with rules that vary by item and location. Stained, broken or pet-damaged pieces are usually refused, which is when a haul-away makes sense. We donate usable pieces when possible.

From the room it's in to gone

We handle the heavy lifting, from upstairs apartments to back bedrooms and garages. If a piece needs to come apart to get out a door, we take care of that too.

Usable furniture in good shape can go to donation when possible, which keeps it out of the landfill.
