Council collection
Oldham's bulky page says the service is for broken or damaged furniture and electrical items that cannot be re-used, sold or donated. A broken sofa is £10 on the council bulky collection. You have to get it outside yourself, as crews cannot enter your home, and there is no refund if it is not out on time.

The council expects reusable furniture to be sold or donated rather than collected as waste. Oldham's page lists charity furniture collections as an option.
Private collection
If the sofa is upstairs, too heavy to move or part of a bigger load, a licensed company will carry it out. Prices are UK guide figures.
