Often not by default—check policy or buy extra “goods in transit” cover for full protection.

Usually €50–€150 for room-to-room jobs; many movers have a minimum call-out fee.

Use bulky amnesty events, post it free online, or contact local charities for collection if the sofa’s in good shape.

Donate, gift, Freecycle, or bring to council facility during amnesty days for no charge.

Early autumn or late spring, as summer is busiest and most expensive.

At recycling centres: €12 for a car boot, €30 for a full car, €50 for a car plus trailer, and €128 for a large van (furniture included).

Council bulky waste amnesty days, charities for good-condition pieces, and some recycling/Freecycle groups.

Book a council bulky waste collection or hire a man-and-van for bulk removal; for reuse, offer items on Freecycle or to local charities.
