This is the not the first time that unwanted items have been seen across Marlow and the surrounding areas.
After lockdown restrictions were lifted in June, the High Street was covered in litter which resulted in a commemorative bench of a former Marlow councillor, being scattered in waste.
An increase of rubbish was also seen in Higginson Park as well as areas near Riverwoods.
It was confirmed that the sofa had been reported to the authorities.
