Professional Sofa Removal With Responsible Recycling
At Sofa Recycle, we believe removing an unwanted sofa should be convenient for customers while also being handled responsibly.
We provide specialist sofa removal and sofa collection services across London, Kent, Surrey, Sussex and Essex, with responsible recycling and disposal forming an important part of our service.
From old sofas and corner sofas to sofa beds and upholstered furniture, our team collects unwanted items from homes and businesses, removes them safely and aims to recycle suitable materials wherever possible.
After collection
Materials we consider.
Rather than treating every sofa as general waste, we separate suitable materials and look for the most appropriate available recovery route.
Metal components
Springs, brackets and fixings can be sorted as scrap metal, helping recover steel that can be processed into new products.
Foam padding
Foam is separated by type and condition. Suitable material may enter specialist recovery routes where local facilities accept it.
Fabrics & textiles
Removable covers and upholstery fabrics are assessed for textile recovery, reducing the volume treated as general waste.
Upholstery layers
Hessian, felt and other layers are separated where practical so each material has the best available onward route.
Recovery options depend on the sofa’s construction, material condition and the facilities available at the time of collection.
Domestic & commercial collections

Whether you need one sofa collected or several, we make responsible removal simple. You tell us what is going and we handle the collection and the next steps.
