How to Get Rid of Furniture

Getting rid of furniture can be a daunting task since furniture is typically bulky and heavy to maneuver. Whether you are moving or want to downsize your furniture to make room for new furniture, we’ve put together some tips on how to stay organized and make getting rid of furniture easy. 

Haul it Away Yourself

If you have a truck available or know a friend who can help you, you may be able to haul away your old furniture yourself. Before you load the furniture, determine where you plan to take it for disposal.

Options include:

• Scrap dealers
• Recycling centers
• Landfills
• Thrift stores 

You will also want to make sure the place you choose is ready to accept your furniture since some dumping and recycling facilities will only accept loads on certain days or under certain conditions. 

Put the Furniture on the Curb

If hauling it away on your own isn’t an option, then you may want to place it on the curb. This is best if you only need to get rid of a few pieces of furniture. Before leaving your items on the curb, be sure to call your local garbage collection service to check what their regulations are to ensure they will pick up your items. 

Sell it at a Garage/Yard Sale or Online 

If the furniture is still in decent condition, you may be able to make some money off selling it. Consider hosting a garage or yard to get rid of your furniture and other unwanted belongings. If you can wait a while before getting rid of the furniture, you can also post photos online and try to sell the furniture that way. 

Donate the Furniture

If your furniture is free of major damage, rips, stains, holes, or odors can be donated. You can donate your furniture to nonprofits, charities, schools, churches, and community centers. Look up local organizations and give them a call to see if they would be interested in your furniture.
