How to Get Rid of Old Furniture
Need to clear out old furniture? Whether you’re moving, redecorating, or simplifying your space, figuring out how to dispose of unwanted pieces can be overwhelming. Our guide from junk removal experts offers five practical methods to efficiently remove your old furniture, including tips for specific items like couches. Read on to find the best disposal solution for your needs.
How to Remove Old Furniture
1. Recycle or Donate It
Donating or recycling your furniture is a responsible and generous way to dispose of lightly used items. Some organizations offer home pick-up, though most require drop-off at their centres. We provide all the heavy lifting and transport—just point, and we’ll handle the rest. Check local donation centres or consider giving to shelters or thrift stores if nearby options are limited.
2. Leave It At The Curb
For furniture that’s too worn for donation—think major damage or odours—curbside disposal is an option. However, check with local garbage pickup services first, as there are specific rules, potential fees, or fines for curbside disposal.
3. Take It To The Landfill
If local rules prevent curbside disposal, taking your furniture to the landfill, recycling centre, or scrap dealer is another solution. Always call ahead to confirm that they can accept your specific types of furniture.
4. Sell Your Furniture
If your items are in excellent condition and there’s no rush to clear them out, selling them online through platforms like social media or classified ads can be lucrative. Buyers typically collect items themselves, which saves you effort. Alternatively, consider a traditional yard or garage sale.
5. Hire A Junk Removal Service
For the utmost convenience, hiring a junk removal service like Biggles Removals can be ideal. They will do all the heavy lifting, from your home to their truck, without you needing to lift a finger.
