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.

      Great company! They were able to come quickly on short notice. Excellent pricing. We added a bit from our initial quote and the cost changed very reasonably. Communication was quick, clear, and professional. Definitely recommend!!

      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 really helped us out. We needed some junk removed right away and he got there within a couple of hours, was very professional and polite and did not charge an arm and a leg. He has a customer for life in us now!

      I never leave reviews but Sal (I think his name is) was great. Both times we used them they showed up the next day on time and did a fast and efficient job. Personable and reliable. Highly recommend.

      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 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!

      I would highly recommend A+ Enterprises. Very professional staff. Fast response to my request for information. Sal is very friendly, answered all my questions and set a date for pick up, much faster than I had expected. Day of pick up was better than prompt. Joe called en-route to say he was a little ahead of schedule and could actually be at my house sooner. Great Job at a reasonable price. Would definitely refer family and friends. Thank your for A+ service!

      Fast service, excellent price. Picked up on the same morning that we called. Will definately recommend and call again. Sal was very professional. Guys who showed up at our home were professional as well. We prefer to use local companies and this is one we expect to keep on our list.

      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.

    • 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.

We were in a last minute crunch to get rid of stuff and he worked with us and even went way out of his way to accommodate our needs! He truly has great customer support and was beyond generous! Can’t thank this awesome company enough! It meant a lot to us!! We highly recommend!

      Kyle and Joe were wonderful! Very efficient process. I called and gave brief information to a very professional person. They came out the next day. Wiped their feet, quoted me a very fair price, and removed my furniture. I’m very pleased with their service and friendliness. I will definitely recommend them to my family and friends! Meredith R. They did such a good job yesterday that I called them back again today for more revival. They’re very fast, efficient, easy to work with and professional. Joe and Kyle came both days and we’re incredibly polite and thoughtful in what was a hard situation for me. Bravo A+ Enterprises! Repeat business speaks for itself. Meredith R.
