Sometimes furniture disposal isn't something that you can put off to deal with later. There are times when old furniture has to be gotten rid of. Now!

Maybe it's during a foreclosure cleanup, or after a minor flood or small house fire. Old furniture left behind by former residents, or water and smoke damaged furniture, even old furniture pieces that you have no room to store - these all have to go quickly.

When There's No Time Like the Present - for Furniture Disposal

If you do have to replace your old furniture with new pieces, and the retailer doesn't offer to remove your old ones for you, you could have a problem.

Finding a temporary place for one recliner or one sofa is difficult at best. They are big, bulky, hard to move, and take up quite a bit of space. But an entire living room, dining room, or bedroom set? Good luck with that.

While you might be able to put it all in your garage until you can figure out how to dispose of it all permanently, most people don't have that much room in their garage! And if you live in a condo or an apartment, it's very likely that you don't even have a garage.

Store them all in a self-storage rental unit?

Perhaps. But that means being able to load them and transport them. And if you could do that then you could take them to whatever waste transfer station or landfill would take them. No, the only good solution is to find a way to dispose of them quickly, efficiently, and affordably. 

At the end of the day, it's safe to say that you really only have three methods of furniture disposal.

Three Methods for Getting Rid of Old Furniture

If your old furniture is still usable and in good condition, your probably don't really want to have it taken to a landfill. Good furniture is good furniture even if it's old and "pre-owned" as the car dealers are fond of saying. 

Here are three acceptable ways to get rid of your old, but usable, furniture:

Donate Them

 Most charity organizations will take used furniture that is in good shape and in usable condition. While some may sell it or even re-use it, others will refurbish pieces to gain an increased re-sell value. But you should always confirm that your charity takes furniture loading and hauling it all.

Sell Them Online

Used furniture can be sold on sites like Facebook Marketplace,  Craig's List, and eBay, as well as many others. Posting quality photos, clear descriptions, and including disclosures of any stains or damage can help boost interest.  You can also expect the buyer to pick up your used furniture when they purchase it from you.

Give Them Away

If you can't give it to friends, neighbors, or family members, consider your local community theater that might need used furniture for stage sets and props. And there are also college and high school drama departments. Even non-profit groups with offices or homes for at-risk individuals might need gently used furniture.

The biggest downside to all of these options if you need to dispose of that furniture right away is that they all require time and effort on your part. And it may even mean having to move and load up the used pieces yourself, assuming you have a vehicle that is suitable for hauling furniture.

So, what can you do when you need furniture disposal now?

We've summarized your furniture removal options in this handy graphic and included a fourth option that is highly recommended when you need to make that old furniture disappear as soon as possible.

Take the Next Step: Hire a Furniture Disposal Service

Getting rid of furniture can be a daunting task.

In fact, it's usually a much bigger job than most people can or want to do alone. That's why hiring a professional furniture disposal firm to come and do all the heavy lifting for you and simply take it all away is the best option.

Which is why Junk King specializes in professional and reliable furniture removal and disposal. 

And, best of all, at Junk King we make sure that your old furniture items end up in the right place: whether that's a non-profit for the pieces of furniture that are still in good shape.

If the item can be reused, Junk King will transfer it to a local donation center where it can find a new home. Otherwise, we make sure it goes to a recycling facility to ensure your furniture is disposed of in an eco-friendly way. In other words, everything doesn't go directly to a dump.

When it comes to furniture removal, we take the eco-friendly route by making sure that all the metal, plastics, and other materials are broken down and recycled properly.

Furniture recycling isn't an easy task for most homeowners, but it can be easy when you have a furniture removal service take care of it for you.
