Have you ever wanted to replace your old furniture but simply didn’t have the time or manpower to do it? Or have you recently bought new furniture, only to have the old pieces sit around the house and collect dust?

Furniture removal and disposal can be quite a task: not only do you need to break down and carry those heavy items out the door, but you then need to figure out what to do with them. Many cities don’t allow specific furniture items on the curb, and for city pick up you need to rely on their tight schedule.

Not to mention you need to do all the heavy lifting!

Managing Furniture Removal and Furniture Disposal

Replacing an old bed and mattress, for example, can be a great thing when your old one is no longer up to the job. Upgrading to a new mattress is always a great idea, considering you probably spend a third of your life sleeping on that bed. And often, purchasing an entire bedroom set can include a new bed, as well. 

But once you get that new mattress, how do you get rid of the old one? In fact, many homes have old mattresses down in the basement, up in the attic, or out in the garage just collecting dust and taking up valuable space. In addition, you may simply need to get rid of the entire bed, frame and all. 

And that's not an easy task.

Tips for How to Get Rid of Old Furniture

Probably the worst way to get rid of old furniture is to put it out on the curb with a sign that reads, "FREE", and hoping someone picks it up before it rains. Perhaps that's not the worst way - dumping old furniture on a back road or empty field is a particularly un-neighborly thing to do. 

So what can you do?

Here's some tips on ways to get rid of your old furniture:

Donate to Non-Profits

Most every charity organization can make use of used furniture that is in decent shape. Some will simply recycle or re-use it, while many others will slightly refurbish it for re-sell. It might be a good idea to check ahead before simply dropping off a ton of old furniture, however!

Donate to Theaters

It may not be Broadway, but your local community theater is often in need of used furniture for stage sets. In addition, there may be college or high school drama departments that can make great use of that old sofa or club chair.

Sell it Online

Old furniture is often sold on sites like Craig's List and eBay. Quality photos, clear descriptions, and "full disclosure" of stains or damage, is a good way to make buyers happy and avoid awkward scenes later. Unless you're desperate to sell the thing, you would usually expect the buyer to pick up old furniture themselves.

Hire a Furniture Removal Service

Furniture removal can be quite a task. Not only do you need to break down and carry those heavy items out the door, but you then have to load them. But hiring a professional firm to come and do all the heavy lifting for you and simply take it all away is a great option. Paying for reliable furniture disposal can be a great option.
