Council collection
Bury counts a corner sofa as five items and a reclining armchair as three, so a corner sofa uses a full £49 Bury bulky collection on its own (checked against Bury Council and Recycle for Greater Manchester pages on 2 November 2026). Bury says items must be left whole at your usual bin point, front garden or driveway, and it will not collect from a back garden, yard, shed, garage or from inside a property, including flats. Soft furnishings must be kept dry and covered, and there is no refund if the sofa is not out on the day.

Bury suggests charities or community schemes for furniture in good condition. A sofa with its fire label can also go in a donate container at a Greater Manchester tip.
Private collection
If it is upstairs, in a flat or too heavy to get to the front, a licensed company can take it from the room. UK guide prices are often £35 to £80.
