Old Furniture Disposal In The Louisville Area

furniture removal lousville

If you live in the greater Louisville area and you have some old furniture you need to get rid of, you’ve probably found that furniture disposal is no easy task.

This is even more apparent when you realize that almost no piece of furniture is ever going to fit into your family sedan. And that’s just the first speed bump. Most pieces of old furniture are too heavy or bulky for one person to lift and carry, so you’re going to need some help.

Oh, and you need to know where to take it to dispose of it!

The Problem with Furniture Disposal

There are probably a few “convenient” ways to get rid of your old, unwanted furniture – like dumping it in an empty lot or off the side of a backroad somewhere. The problem with that is that it’s against the law. 

The City of Louisville makes it clear: “It is unlawful to dump any waste on property that is not licensed as a disposal facility. Illegal dumpers are subject to fines and impoundment of vehicles.”

And simply hiring some guy with a truck to come and take away your old furniture can be an unintended exercise in illegal activity if you’re not careful apparently!

According to the City of Louisville official website,    

“If you hire someone to dispose of waste for you, ask to see their Waste Hauler License and do not pay without a disposal receipt. Properly disposing of truckloads of materials costs at least $50 – if you’re charged less than that, be suspicious. Perpetrators will often take your money and illegally dump your items to avoid the disposal fee.”

If you live in the city of Louisville or anywhere else in Jefferson County, you can take up to three large household items yourself to the Waste Reduction Center. This is great if you happen to live in Louisville or even in Buckner, Jeffersonville, Charlestown, La Grange, and Fairdale.

That’s if you have a way to get them there, that is.

If you don’t have the means of hauling those junk furniture pieces yourself, you have three chances each year to get them out to the curb if you happen to live in Jefferson County’s Urban Service District.

But what if you missed the last pick up? What if you can’t wait four months for the next scheduled pick up? And what if you have far more old furniture than the city or County is willing to pick up for you?

That’s why calling Junk King Louisville is your best (and safest!) option for old furniture disposal.

Where Will Your Old Furniture End Up?

Landfills are not the best – or only – place for old furniture. Especially pieces that are still usable.

Maybe you’ve already asked around with your friends and family to see if anyone can use them. Or, depending on where you live in the Louisville and Jefferson County area, there are plenty of neighbors who might want them, or they might know someone else who could use them.

If that doesn’t pan out for you, and your old furniture is still in good condition, you could consider donating it.

Donating to a non-profit or charitable organization is a great way to get rid of furniture you no longer want or need. And, best of all, many charities will come and pick up your items for you.

However, if your old are more like “junk” than furniture, they need to be disposed of.

The good news about old furniture is that most of the materials are recyclable. Some pieces may be difficult to dismantle, making them less cost-effective for recycling purposes, and some plastics and fibers are not recyclable.

Many materials are easily recycled, however. For example, all the metal parts such as steel or aluminum can be used for scrap metal, while most real wood furniture is also acceptable for recycling purposes.

The bottom line is that recycling old furniture is still a great alternative to simply dumping it.

Junk King Louisville owners Jack Brendamour and Judy McCreary have a passion for protecting the environment and supporting local nonprofits that aligns perfectly with Junk King’s corporate philosophy and mission.

Jack has pointed out that, 

“What’s most important is that we’re donating items collected from yards, homes and businesses and cutting down on waste by giving them a second life.”

And Judy agrees noting that,

“It’s special to see how much of a positive impact we can have on our local area with great, eco-friendly junk disposal. Not only do we help people declutter, we’re doing it with the greenest methods possible.”

Junk King is the only national junk removal company that operates with the goal of recycling 60 percent or more of everything we haul away. This has been our company’s mission since it was founded back in 2005 as the first “green” and eco-friendly junk removal service.

And we have continued to be green while also becoming the industry’s Number One junk removal service in the nation.

Moving and Hauling Old Furniture – Not a DIY Chore

The biggest challenge that faces anyone who tries to dispose of old furniture themselves is transportation. The next big challenge is figuring out how to get that old table, sofa, or dresser out of your home safely and out to the driveway or curb. 

You will likely need to recruit some help and, hopefully, you don’t have stairs to go up or down with heavy furniture in hand!

Even if you do have plenty of help moving your old furniture, how do you get it to the landfill or County recycling center?

With almost any piece of old furniture, you’re going to need a truck or at least a large van or SUV with enough cargo space to accommodate your items. If you don’t own one, and can’t borrow one, you’re going to have to rent one.

In other words, even by “doing it yourself” it’s going to cost you to get it there!

Between fuel, tarps, tie-downs, dumping and other fees, and maybe even truck rental, this is not an inexpensive undertaking. Not to mention that you still will have to do all the heavy lifting!

All of which is why, if you live anywhere in the greater Louisville region, your best choice is to call in a professional furniture disposal team like Junk King Louisville to take care of it all for you.
