How to get rid of old furniture

Furniture Removal Service Scranton/Wilkes-Barre
Get rid of old furniture

If you have old furniture you want to get rid of, you know the feeling. Looking at an old distressed couch or love seat every day will make you go crazy! Fortunately, there many options for old furniture removal. Some of them are free, while others cost money.

Free Furniture Removal Options

If you purchase a new couch or other piece of furniture, you would think the store would offer free furniture removal, right? Wrong! We get calls all the time from customers who purchased a new piece of furniture but are also stuck with their old one. If you are in this predicament, we will go over free furniture pickup options, as well as paid options.

Donate your old furniture

The best option to get rid of your furniture is to donate it. There are services such as The Salvation Army and Goodwill that offer free furniture disposal services. If you have access to a truck, you can bring your old unwanted furniture to their facilities to donate and get a tax deduction slip as well! Another benefit of these charities is that they will even pick up your old furniture for free.

With that said, there are a few drawbacks to these furniture donation services. First, they only accept items in good shape. That means an old, beat up couch is not eligible to be donated. Also, they do not accept mattresses due to the potential of them being contaminated. Finally, these free furniture pickup services are booked 2-3 months in advance. If you need to get rid of old furniture and cannot wait that long, it is best to look elsewhere.

List your furniture for free

With the prevalence of Facebook and Craigslist, the old adage “one man’s trash is another man’s treasure” holds true. If you have old furniture, listing it for free on Craigslist may help you get rid of it. We have seen even some of the most dirty and damaged furniture get picked up for free on these sites!

You can also put your furniture out to the curb with a “FREE” sign on it, with hopes someone will pick it up.

A word of warning though, if you plan on giving away your furniture do not leave it outside. We receive calls from many people who put an old couch out only to have it ruined by rain shortly thereafter.

The Best Furniture Disposal Option

If getting rid of your old furniture seems like a hassle, take the easy route! A+ Enterprises Junk Removal specializes in furniture removal services. No matter the condition or location of your old furniture, we will remove it! We take mattresses, couches, love seats, dressers, chairs, tables, desks, and more! If your furniture is still in good condition, we will donate it to The Salvation Army, and give YOU the tax deduction receipt! We have found that many of our customers have us donate items for them which after the tax deduction makes their furniture removal service completely free.

      Contacted Sal to have some old boxes removed, called me the next day to set up a time to estimate the work. Came first thing the next morning and gave me a great quote. We agreed on a wonderful price and literally 15 minutes later he was here with his truck cleaning out our boxes. He was done quickly and efficiently! Very nice man, We will be contacting him again in the near future! My family and I highly recommend!

      This company is not just professionals at their work but also very kid and hardworking. During the scheduling the staff was very helpful and were able to work with my last minute call with no issues. I received a reminder of my appointment witch was very helpful. The team that arrived to the job took care of business before I knew it it was all done. Very respectful and hard working team. Will definitely recommend anyone and will definitely use this company on my next project.

    • Sal was great to work with. I was so stressed about a large deck in the back of my house that was collapsing. Sal came right over and gave me a very fair price and two days later the job was done. And a really good job. He even hauled away a piece of junk for me at the last minute. I highly recommend this company and plan to use them again as the need arises

      Very promote service. They came exactly on time for the appointment and I did not have to left a finger. I lost the invoice for the services and received a quick response and delivery for that as well. If you looking for reasonable priced service with a smile A+ is the way to go. Also to add I have used multiple junk companies and they by far are the best.

      Sal and his team are amazing! They came and did a clean out the same day I called. They are honest, flexible, quick, and professional. They are worth every penny they charge. I wouldn't consider calling anyone else. Ryan K.

      Top notch. I called and spoke with a Guy named Sal. Very friendly and excellent Customer Service, 100%. I was set up in minutes. The pricing was great. Delivered it next day. When it was time for pick up I advised that I would be working and not able to hear the door so just knock hard. I went out on my Lunch break wondering what the heck? And the Dumpster was gone. Great service. Great Price. I called about 6 Dumpster Rental places and of all of them, A+ Was definitely the best and Props to Sal. Great Service. Truly is A+
