How to Dispose of a Couch in San Diego

 

Old couch disposal

 

Do you need to get rid of a couch right away? Click Here!

 

Have you ever found yourself driving from San Diego out to, say, Jamul or Poway, for example, and along the way after you’ve gotten out of the city you see an old couch sitting in a field? Or maybe it’s not even that far from the road!

 

We’ve probably all seen the old sofa, couch, or recliner that has been surreptitiously dumped onto a dirt shoulder of a backroad somewhere.

Not a pretty sight. And quite illegal, by the way.

 

However, most of us would never consider taking this drastic and totally uncool alternative to disposing of a couch in San Diego. Unfortunately, when it comes to old couch disposal, most of us are also hard pressed to figure out how to do so easily and affordably.

 

What is the Best Way to Dispose of My Couch?

 

If you live in or close to San Diego, couch disposal can be challenge. In fact, for those who live in San Diego, furniture disposal of any kind can be challenging.’

 

Sure, you can grab your phone and do a search for “San Diego couch pick up” or even “how to get rid of sofa” but most of the options that can pop up are either costly and require you to have a truck or some other means of transporting an old couch.

 

Never mind just moving or picking the thing up!

 

Couches, as you have probably already figured out, are heavy. In fact, depending on the size and the construction of your old couch, it can be well over 200 pounds. And if you’re lucky enough to be stuck with an old sofa bed unit, it could weigh up to 350 pounds. 

 

This is not quite the same thing as moving a club chair or even a loveseat. And to dispose of an old couch yourself also means not only moving it out of the house or apartment but also lifting and loading it onto a truck bed.

 

So, to answer the question, “What is the best way to dispose of my couch?” it is simply this: have someone else do it for you!

 

How to Dispose of a Couch in San Diego with No Hassle

 

Couch Removal

 

 

In order to determine how to get rid of old couches in San Diego, you could start by searching for couch removal services or, better yet, an old furniture disposal service in San Diego. More than likely, however, you’ll probably just find a series of general hauling services and the odd person or two who takes old items like couches to refurbish and resell. 

 

For many of these services you have to navigate through their booking process, interpret their often confusing pricing arrangements, and then end up with a four, six, or even eight hour time window on a day that they’re available. 

 

If, however, your old couch is still in good shape and could actually serve its purpose for a few more years, you could consider either selling it or donating it

In order to sell your couch with no hassle, you’ll need to use one of the more popular, free sites for selling items such as furniture, like Craigslist or Facebook Marketplace. And you will need to specify that the buyer is responsible for pick up and removal. 

 

Donating might be a commendable alternative, but it isn’t always a “no hassle” process when it comes to bulky items like old furniture unfortunately. 

 

Many non-profit organizations and charities that do accept item such as used couches will also require that you deliver it to their location yourself. And, as we’ve already noted, that can be a hassle. In addition, not all organizations accept donations like old couches so you will have to do some research beforehand.

 

However, there is a sure-fire “no hassle” approach to disposing of your old couch and that’s by making a call to Junk King San Diego

 

And we’re affordable, too!

 

How Much Does It Cost to Get Rid of a Couch?

 

Even disposing of your old couch or sofa yourself will require some cost. Fuel and waste management disposal fees, for example. And possibly truck rental and some materials for securing your load for the trip to the nearest waste transfer station.

 

To determine the average couch and sofa removal prices in the San Diego Area, you could look online at some of the several home services directory-type sites. One popular site notes that the typical range for “furniture and mattress removal” is $75 to $200.

 

And, while that works for getting a rough “ballpark figure,” it doesn’t let you know what your project is really going to cost you.

 

The best way to determine your actual couch removal and furniture recycling cost is to get an estimate directly from a reliable and local furniture removal service – like Junk King, for example. 

 

In fact, with Junk King, you can actually get an estimate on your own with our online Pricing Estimator

 

Top 3 Ways You Can Dispose of Your Old Couch

 

While there are probably many more ways to dispose of that old couch, not all of them are great options nor affordable. And some are just plain poor alternatives. The good news is that there at least three great ways for you to get rid of your old couch.

 

Sell It

 

We mentioned this option already, but it bears repeating: if your old couch is clean and still in good condition, there is probably no reason you can’t earn some cash from it. 

 

How much cash? 

 

Well, if it’s in really decent shape and is a large sectional, for example, you might be justified in asking up to $1000 for it. On the other hand, according to one site, not so long ago the median price of a used couch or sofa was $250 dollars.

 

Donate It

 

Again, we touched on this alternative earlier in this article, but it, too, bears repeating. 

 

A couch or sofa can be a wonderful addition to a group home, a lounge in a woman’s shelter, or in the home of an older resident that is on a fixed income. And these are just a few of any number of scenarios where a used couch can be a welcome and needed addition.

 

So, where can you donate couches in San Diego?

 

Here are few places to look online:

Making Furniture Removal Easier Here In San Diego

furniture pickup in san diego before and after

Moving furniture isn’t always easy.

In fact, some pieces of furniture are almost impossible to move for just one person. If you think that’s an exaggeration, just ask the poor guy whose wife or girlfriend has him rearranging the furniture for her. 

And as if moving furniture from one spot to another, or from one room to another, wasn’t hard enough, try moving it out of your house or apartment and out to a truck. And then try to get it in the back of the truck. But when it’s time for old furniture removal that’s what must be done.

It might be easy for someone like Dwayne Johnson but, for the rest of us? We’d rather stand out of the way and supervise! 

Seriously, though, for those who are older or have some type of physical limitations, lifting and moving large furniture yourself isn’t really practical. Never mind moving old furniture out of the house and into the back of a truck.

But one of the realities of life in San Diego is that we need to get rid of furniture every once in a while. And, with over 1,400,000 people living in the city, you have to imagine that there’s a lot of furniture being hauled off and disposed of every day.

This is why Junk King San Diego specializes in furniture removal.

Dude! Where’s My Furniture?

Okay, so you’ll probably never say that in real life, but there are many folks in the city of San Diego who would like to see their old furniture disappear. This is why so many of us choose to eventually replace our living room, dining room, or bedroom pieces periodically. That way we can get rid of those old, broken-down pieces.

But that’s not always easy. 

Unless the retailer for your new items offers to take away the old ones, the old furniture removal task is on you. And if you can’t sell them and they’re not in good enough shape to even donate them, you’ve still got to find a way to get rid of them. For most people, their first thought is to take them to the dump. 

But what does that involve?

First, before you try to figure out how you’ll get them out of the house, you will need a suitable vehicle to transport them with. The family Prius might be green and economical, but it can’t hold a dining room table!

Not to mention all the kitchen chairs, the recliner, or the sofa. In fact, most pieces of furniture take up a lot of room in a vehicle. Which simply means you’ll need a truck or at least a large cargo van. And, if you don’t own one or can’t borrow one, then you’ll have to rent one. 

But you must get the furniture out of your house or apartment first. And this can be especially challenging if you have stairs, which are quite common in San Diego.

By the way, you can’t just leave your old furniture items out on the curb, as tempting as that might be. In fact, it’s illegal and bad karma to just dump your old couch somewhere. Even if you put a sign on it that reads: “FREE”

And, if you do get your hands on a truck or large cargo van, then you have to haul it to a waste transfer station someplace. Taking it directly to a local landfill is not only one of the worst options you can choose, but it’s not that easy. For starters, there are only six landfills in San Diego County for almost 3,284,000 people. That’s an average of just one landfill for 547,000 people each.

So, the line might be a bit long… 

The good news is that there’s a far easier option for furniture removal: just call Junk King San Diego.

Furniture Removal for San Diego: Making it Easy for You

We’ve all seen it: the abandoned couch or recliner sitting in an empty lot or on the side of a back road somewhere. Unfortunately, there are people who sometimes simply dump them in front of a thrift store, possibly thinking they’re doing a good thing. 

And, while it’s illegal if it’s not reported when it occurs, nothing happens. The truth is, too, that no one wants to have old, broken-down furniture, appliances, or torn mattresses dumped in their own neighborhood, either. 

In fact, according to some studies, having garbage, junk, debris, and abandoned furniture piling up in a neighborhood can diminish the overall quality and safety of that residential area and even be a contributing factor to a rise in crime. 

So, if you have old furniture that needs to be removed and disposed of, and you are considering renting a truck to make that happen, you still have to take it somewhere. While you can probably dump your old furniture pieces at a transfer station or even directly into an actual landfill, that’s still not the best option.

A far better solution, assuming it isn’t reusable or can’t be repurposed, is to have your unwanted, old furniture recycled. And Junk King San Diego is just the firm to do that for you!

Is “Green” Furniture Removal and Disposal Possible?

In a word: Yes!

Many other junk removal companies simply take everything to the nearest landfill. That may be quicker and seem to be efficient, that’s how we do it at Junk King San Diego.

Green furniture removal and disposal means we recycle as much of everything as possible.

At Junk King San Diego, being green is what we do, not just what we say. Recycling at least 60 percent of everything we pick up is at the heart of our company mission. 

This applies to old furniture as well as everything else we pick up. Our junk disposal process involves taking the junk and unwanted furniture that we pick up during the day and transporting it to our local Junk King warehouse.

Once there, it is sorted through to determine which of the items can either be reused, repurposed, or at least recycled.

Most furniture, especially older pieces, is made with large quantities of wood, which can be recycled. In addition, there are often metal, glass, plastics, and other materials that can be reused. For those furniture items that are in good condition and are still usable, Junk King San Diego will get them to a local donation center.

When it comes to furniture, many of the materials used in its construction are easily recycled such as plastics and most wood. 

At Junk King, it has always been our company’s mission to recycle as much of your waste and junk items as possible since the company was founded in 2005. We have always done this, and we continue to work to protect the planet and provide a sustainable alternative to landfills.
