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.

If getting rid of your old furniture seems like a hassle, take the easy route! A+ Enterprises Junk Removal specializes in furniture removal services.

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.

    • This is an excellent company to deal with. I highly recommend! They were punctual, friendly and communicative throughout the entire process. From the first call, to the estimate, to the contract details, to start day/time, to what to expect day of and clean up day. It is very hard to find this level of customer service anymore! We hired them to tear down an old cinderblock/wood garage. It was right on the property line and didn’t have much room for error. A+ took the garage down no problem and did a great job with haul away and cleanup. You can tell they know their stuff. Sal always returned calls and emails. We got a fair price and a job well done! I definitely recommend and would work with them again if the need ever arises.

      I would rate over 5 stars if I could. A+ Enterprises is definitely A+! When we called them we were surprised to hear that they do same-day service, and they arrived quickly. The owner, Sal, is a wonderful guy who is honest and friendly. Everybody works very efficiently and is professional. Can't recommend them enough!

    • 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!

      I got a 100% accurate estimate from the owner and he dispatched a crew to clean out my house the next day (!). The guys were professional and very nice and personable, making a tough situation much easier to handle. Moreover, they worked until the job was done way over my expectations. This company has the best prices in our area and they are complete pros. I would recommend them to anyone...don't hesitate and call A+ first! They will be my first call in the future! Added 3/1/2020: So 18 months later I had to clean out a 2nd floor apartment and 3rd floor attic. This attic was stuffed floor to ceiling with junk and the apartment full of furniture. Sal had a crew there within 24 hrs of my call and cleaned it out in ONE DAY! They even swept up and went through with garbage cans to completely clean the house. I value good service and A+ always delivers...I recommend them to my friends and family and have now used them 3 times. Each time the price is far less than I expected and the work is way better than I'd expect. If you have a job that you're afraid to deal with...call them!!!!! It is the best call you'll ever make! They have always come through for me. Thank you!!!!

    • Absolutely amazing! Highly recommended! I recently moved to Pennsylvania and purchased a fixer upper in Luzern County. I had a large pile of debris from the house that I needed to get rid of. I called A+ Junk Removal and spoke with Sal. He was extremely professional and very personable. He was able to work with my schedule which was greatly appreciated. Sal also contacted me through text to remind me of my scheduled appointment. Joe and Andrew showed up on time to give me an estimate for my junk pile. They gave me a great price and got right to work. Both Joe and Andrew were very polite and extremely professional. Very friendly as well. They did an amazing job! I couldn’t have asked for a better crew to come and do this job for me. I am extremely appreciative for Sal, Joe and Andrew. I highly recommend this company and will definitely use them again on the future. Thank you so much A+ Enterprises!

    • I can't say enough about Sal. He was very patient, knowledgeable, and went out of his way to ensure my company was taken care of. I absolutely recommend anyone to use this company. They get in and out very quickly and offer a great price. They also stick to their word which is very rare now-a-days!
