At some point in all our lives, getting rid of bulky, used furniture will be a task that all of us will have to deal with. Even with careful maintenance, the average sofa will probably only last between 7 and 15 years. This means that we probably renew the furniture of our home´s interior several times during our lifetime. But what exactly should we do with the old couches, scratched dining room tables, and antique lamps that we no longer have room for in our homes? Junk King San Francisco is the top rated junk removal service in the Bay area and can help San Francisco residents quickly and affordably get rid of their used furniture in an environmentally friendly manner. 

The Environmental Problems that Come with Used Furniture

Did you know that every year American throw away around 9.8 million tons of old and used furniture items? From that lumpy mattress affecting your sleep to that ugly sectional sofa that you used to have stored in your unfinished basement, more than 4 percent of household waste is made up of used furniture items. While most of us probably do not throw away furniture on a daily basis, the sheer weight and bulk of furniture makes it an enormous contributor to the total amount of waste that we produce. 

Unfortunately, used furniture is one of the least-recycled items in a household. According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), only about 0.1 percent of the materials that make up our furniture eventually gets recycled. The other 99.9 percent ends up in landfills or incinerators, causing major environmental damage.

New call-to-action

However, as landfill space grows increasingly scarce, many organizations are making an effort to increase the percentage of recycled or refurbished furniture. The global technology research firm Technavio reports that the recycled office furniture market in the United States will reach $2.68 billion by 2020. Similar trends are happening for household furniture products as well. The EPA reports that the recycling of used furniture products has quadrupled over the past decade, and the amount of used furniture that is donated to thrift stores and other non-profit organizations is also continuing to rise. 

In 2015, people across the country spent an estimated $121.7 billion to re-furbish our homes with new furniture. New furniture not only increases the comfort of the homes we live in, but can also quickly increase the property value of our houses. What we do with the furniture we get rid of, however, can have a lasting environmental impact. 

So what exactly does all this mean for homeowners, business owners, and other residents of San Francisco? First of all, it is important to understand that it is illegal to leave furniture, appliances, garbage bags, or anything on the sidewalk at any time unless you have a scheduled pick up from a licensed hauler or donation facility. Recology, the company that provides collection and disposal of municipal solid waste, recycling, and organics/compost to commercial and residential customers in the state of California, only offers two curbside bulky item recycling collections per year. Also, if you are planning a complete remodel of your home, you most likely will not be able to simply send out to the curb the dozens of pieces of furniture you are wanting to get rid of. 

bulk item and trash removal

Fortunately, Junk King of San Francisco offers efficient and affordable furniture removal services for residents, homeowners, and business owners of San Francisco. While you could haul your old couch out to the curb and place a “free” sign in hopes that somebody might come and pick it up, chances are that you would be rewarded with a hefty fine before anyone actually removed the thing. Junk King of San Francisco can help you avoid the headache of self-hauling your used furniture to the nearest collection facility. With a simple phone call or text, we can set up a time and date to come and help you get free up space in your home by getting rid of your used furniture items.

We have developed close relationships with dozens of recycling centers, thrift stores, non-profit organizations, and other interested parties to make sure that your used furniture is given every opportunity to be donated or recycled, instead of landfilled.
