Getting rid of large furniture

That antique chair was absolutely beautiful — at least, until a leg fell off and the cushion started smelling like last week’s dinner. Now you have to figure out what to do with it. You do not want to keep it, but you also can’t just toss it in the trash bin. If you’re wondering how to get rid of large, bulky furniture, you have a few different options to try:

Selling it. If the piece is easy to repair or unbroken, you could use websites like CraigsList, Amazon or eBay to sell the item locally. Often, buyers are willing to pick up their purchases, making the process easier for you.

Donate it. If the piece, or any part of it, can be used, local charity organizations would be happy to use them! Some organizations even prefer broken furniture so they can recycle the parts.

Throw it out. If there’s absolutely no use for this piece, you may have to just toss it. In this case, you need to check with your local city trash collection or sanitation department to make sure you’re following proper protocol. Oftentimes, garbage removal workers need advanced notice before picking something up curbside. In this situation, you will also need to remove the furniture from your home yourself. Although this is rare, some municipalities may even require you to bring the piece to the local dump or landfill yourself.
