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 your furniture is still in good condition, we will donate it to The Salvation Army, and give YOU the tax deduction receipt!

      EXTREMELY PLEASANT AND PROFESSIONAL! Gave them a call to remove some old furniture and assorted boxes of junk. They said the had a crew in my area the next morning and could be here at 9am. Arrived right at 9 on the dot and got straight to work. They battled through all my cobwebs and work quick and efficiently. No trouble or damage from moving some big items in narrow areas. The price they quoted was great value for all the work they did. I have already and will continue to HIGHLY recommend them.

      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!

      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!

      These guys are awesome! They came here when promised, were really nice and friendly, and they did what they were supposed to do in a timely fashion. The price quoted was changed because I had more “stuff” to get rid of. However, they quoted the difference before getting the rest of the things out and we agreed. I will certainly call them next time. Thanks, A+!

      I was looking for someone to haul away some things from a home remodeling project. I called A Plus and within 10 minutes I received an email and was able to call the owner right away. He sent his crew out the next day and took care of my hauling needs with a great price. I cannot tell you how pleased I am at the prompt, courteous service I received from both the owner and the crew. I highly recommend them. Mary Gadomski

      The 3 man crew did a fantastic job in clearing out and disposing of several large and small items that still remained after a 2 day estate sale. Items removed included beds and mattresses, 3 couches, bedroom chest of drawers, old refrigerator and electric stove, computer desk, old and very heavy television, several tools plus much more.Very courteous workers and owner was great to work with. Highly recommend and you won’t be disappointed.

      Awesome company! My uncle passed away, and we were cleaning out his house. We had a lot of items to donate to the Salvation Army. I called the Salvation Army but they couldn’t pick up for a month. I called A Plus & they came two days later. The Two young men who came to pick up were polite, respectful & very efficient. The price was reasonable too. I will definitely use A Plus in the future.
