Furniture Removal Checklist And Tips

Furniture Removal Checklist And Tips

Sometimes you find yourself having to remove or relocate furniture. While it may seem simple, moving furniture can be a much more than simply hauling a chair or sofa. 

If you find that you need to replace your old furniture or have to relocate and move your furniture, you know that it's not going to be a simple project. Because moving furniture can be a difficult and involved process, it helps to have a plan.

In fact, furniture removal or disposal can be quite a task. Oftentimes you may find that not only do you need to break down those heavy items, you also have to carry them out the door. When it comes to disposing of all that old furniture, you also need to figure out what to do with them. Unfortunately, many locales don’t allow furniture items to be placed on the curb for garbage pick up. And, if your city waste management does do so, you have to work with their often limited schedule.

Not to mention you need to do all the heavy lifting!

 

 

 

3 Ideas for Getting Rid of Old Furniture

It is a highly discouraged way to get rid of old furniture: putting your items out on the curb with a sign on it that reads, "FREE", and hoping someone picks it up. Worse than that, though, is simply dumping old furniture on a side road or an empty field. Not only is it probably illegal, it's not a particularly thoughtful thing to do. 

Here's are three good ideas for getting rid of your old furniture:

Donate It to a Non-Profit

Almost any charity organization can make use of used furniture that is in usable condition. While some may recycle or re-use it, others will slightly refurbish it for re-sell. It's a good idea to check ahead, however, before dropping off your old furniture.

Donate It to a Theater

Oftentimes your local community theater is in need of used furniture for stage sets and props. And don't forget your college or high school drama departments - they might be able to make great use of that old sofa or side chair.

Sell it Online

Old furniture can be sold on sites like eBay or Craig's List. Be sure to use quality photos, clear descriptions, and include a mention of any stains or damage. Unless you're desperate to sell or have the time and vehicle, you can expect the buyer to pick up old furniture when they buy it from you.

A Checklist for Furniture Removal

When it comes time to move your furniture, whether it's from your home or your office, having a plan is incredibly helpful. We have created this handy checklist to help you in the planning process:
