Have you ever hauled an old chair or sofa out and left it on a sidewalk corner, taped a "Free" sign to it, and hoped for the best? There's a better way to take care of furniture disposal!

Sometimes you just have once piece of furniture and you can't seem to sell it and no one you know wants to take it off your hands. We've probably all seen the sad looking couch or recliner sitting on the side of a road where it had been unceremoniously dumped during the night. Not the best way to get rid of old furniture!

Have you ever wanted to replace your old furniture but simply didn’t have the time or manpower to do it? Perhaps you've recently bought new furniture, and now you still have the old pieces taking up space in spare rooms or the garage? Maybe you thought about putting it all on Craigslist or eBay, but either haven't gotten around to it, or you tried, but with no takers.

There is a good solution.

Junk Hauling for Your Furniture Disposal

Furniture disposal can be a rough job. Not only are the pieces heavy, bulky and generally awkward to work with, but once you get them out of the room you then need to figure out what to do with them. Because many cities don’t allow certain furniture items to be left on the curb and for city pick up is often on a minimal schedule, municipal disposal service is not always an option.

Oh, and did we mention that you still need to do all the heavy lifting?

You do have a few options aside from simply sending them off to the local landfill. Donating furniture is always a great choice and it doesn't always have to be the standard thrift stores. There are many non-profit organizations that can use furniture in lobbies, bedrooms, and break-rooms. There are various types of shelters and agencies that provide household goods for families in need. 

Selling your old furniture can be a challenge, but there are yard sale approaches in addition to online sites, as previously mentioned. While it can take time and persistence, selling your pieces can generate some extra cash that can offset the cost of your new furniture. And, if you are lucky, someone else will load them in the truck!

If you've made the decision to have your old, unwanted furniture hauled off, what are your options?

In most situations, you have three choices:

  • You can use the family SUV or truck to haul your furniture to the local landfill. This is not an option for everyone since a suitable vehicle isn't always available. And it is hard and even dangerous work.
  • Your second option is to hire someone else to come and haul the items off for you. This is a common approach and it can make your life easier, but it costs more and the landfills probably don't need more old recliners or sofas.
  • A better approach would be to arrange for your old furniture items to be picked up and recycled.

This last option is also an opportunity to help keep the environment by recycling the equipment. This choice becomes all the more critical when you consider that many counties and municipalities have enacted Zero Waste initiatives and Landfill Diversion goals designed to ramp up recycling efforts and reduce overall waste and landfill use.
