We provide fast, same-day waste disposal bookings in Plymouth, Saltash, Callington, Torpoint, Tavistock, Wembury and the Yelverton area. If you need reliable, effective and efficient waste removal at a competitive price, look no further than Big Tuna Moving.

• All you have to do to get a quote is give us a call or send us pictures of your sofa and any other waste you would like us to collect via WhatsApp or SMS – you sit back, and we will do the rest!
• Not all couches are created equal, so the removal costs can vary depending on size and weight. The typical price you can expect to pay a professional waste company, including labour, is between £50 to £80.
• The benefits of our professional service are less stress, hassle-free collections, and a rapid collection time that fits your schedule.
• If you can help load the sofa into the van, there is also further savings on a one-man and van collection.

– Sell it online – there are many sites where you can sell second-hand furniture.

If your settee is in a reasonable condition, you could sell it.
Many that have just moved out or starting a family could be looking to save a bit of money. Your old used sofa could be a lifesaver.
If your couch still has life, let someone else use it before it ends up at the landfill.
If you think this is an option, check out E-Bay, Gumtree, Preloved, Shpock and Facebook.

– Freebie it online – there are many sites where you can list things for free.

• If the condition of your sofa isn’t that great, all is not lost.
• Another’s trash can still be someone else’s treasure.
• You may even find that paying some of the transport fees to give it away will save you money in the long run.
• If you think this is an option, check out the freebie categories on Freecycle, Upcycle, Preloved, Gumtree and Facebook.

Donate it to a local charity shop – they will be able to sell it on, and the money raised will go to a good cause.

• You can only do this if the sofa is in a reasonable condition; the charity will need to be able to sell it. Contrary to popular belief, charities don’t just take any old rubbish.
• The fire label must also be on your sofa. A charity cannot sell it if this isn’t there. So, even if the sofa is in excellent shape, charities cannot accept it.
• We have some great local charities in Plymouth that will come and collect a settee for free, saving you the removal costs, providing it’s in good condition and has that fire label I mentioned.
• For Plymouth-based charities, please check St Luke’s Hospice or the British Heart Foundation.

Take it to your local recycling centre – if you can get it there.

• Before heading to a recycling centre in Plymouth in a van, ensure that they will allow van access; this varies by location. You may find that they only allow car access.
• In most cases, they will only allow cars; the good news is that many modern sofas may be disassembled with simple tools, allowing you to transport it to a recycling facility in smaller pieces.
• DO NOT use power tools to dismantle your sofa; this can be extremely dangerous due to hidden metal components and wires, resulting in a trip to Derriford Hospital.
