Yet, inevitably, you\u2019re left with one or two hulking pieces you just don\u2019t know what to do with. They might be old, they may be broken, they may just not fit your new design aesthetic. What they are is junk.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So what do you do with them? Just toss that <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/dolly.com\/blog\/value-used-couch\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">old couch<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> or mattress to the curb, in the rain, with a hastily scrawled FREE sign taped to it? Don&#8217;t be that neighbor. You <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">do<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> have options to donate, recycle, or dispose of junk furniture responsibly \u2014 and those options are based entirely on the condition of the piece. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Donating Used Furniture or Appliances<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is a first and best option for parting with junk furniture or appliances. There are people who would be glad to have furniture or working appliances you\u2019re parting with, and it\u2019s better than adding more to the landfill. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For donations, pieces typically have to meet some basic standards for continued use: <\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">They\u2019re not broken and don\u2019t need significant repairs<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Upholstered furniture shouldn\u2019t have stains, bad smells, rips, or tears<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wood shouldn\u2019t have any major damage to surfaces<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There should be no known infestations with bed bugs or mildew<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Appliances should work and have no water damage or cracks<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mattresses must be in exceptional or new condition (many donation centers won\u2019t take them, no matter the condition, so be sure to double check in advance)<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodwill.org\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Goodwill<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.habitat.org\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Habitat for Humanity<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and the\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.salvationarmyusa.org\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Salvation Army<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> are great options for donating furniture and working appliances. But you\u2019ll want to call in advance or check their website to see if they\u2019re accepting what you\u2019re hoping to donate and if there are any special requirements for the furniture\u2019s condition. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Recycling Used Furniture or Appliances<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your community or country recycling center is the first, best place to check whether your piece of furniture or appliance qualifies for recycling. They often have clear rules stated online for what they\u2019ll accept, and whether they charge any fees for accepting over-sized items. Some appliances, like refrigerators, contain coolant or other chemicals that require special handling. \u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/dolly.com\/blog\/5-responsible-ways-get-rid-mattress\/?utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=junk-removal\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mattresses<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, which can be complicated to donate, are often good candidates for recycling. If your local recycling center won\u2019t accept them, they will often point you toward other <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nwfurniturebank.org\/spring-back-mattress-recycling\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">community resources for mattress recycling<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And, bonus, these organizations often also accept furniture donations, which is helpful if you have a few items you need to part with. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Where to Throw Away Furniture or Appliances<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019ve exhausted your options for donating and recycling, your furniture\u2019s condition beyond what anyone will buy or accept for free, or your appliance is totally busted and dead, the dump may be your best option. If you\u2019re dealing with furniture, you\u2019ll want to break down the piece as much as possible, throwing away cushions, drawers or bulky and heavy pieces of wood in your own trash bin. This will minimize the size and weight of the item you\u2019re throwing away, and will likely save you on fees. For appliances, consider removing drawers, lids, doors and other items that may also add to the weight. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your next step is to coordinate with your local garbage utility. Many cities offer pickup for a fee but often have limits to what they\u2019ll take, and will not remove larger items without special (and complicated) appointments. Clear \u2014 even courteous \u2014 communication is rarely a priority. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So if you want the job done quickly, efficiently, and affordably, you\u2019re left to fend for yourself, and figure out options for removing junk furniture or appliances from your home or apartment. Most of us don\u2019t own trucks large enough to remove the larger furniture and appliances the companies we initially purchased from delivered to us long ago. And when is the last time you tried to deconstruct IKEA furniture and put it <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">back<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> into your car? Yeah \u2014 we thought so. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the past, this is the point where you sucked it up, rented a local truck, and drove to the dump yourself. Now, there&#8217;s an easier way to get it done.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Junk Removal Services<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thankfully, you just don\u2019t have to do that anymore. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/dolly.com\/junk-removal\/?utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=junk-removal\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Junk removal<\/span><\/a> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">is now easier than ever. And many companies are out there &#8211; but their services and service models aren\u2019t often well suited for picking up one or two items. They charge minimum costs, require space minimums on their trucks, and often require lengthy account set-up processes \u2014 like phone consultations and on-site visits \u2014 before you can book a job. Total overkill for a last-minute decision to part with junk furniture or appliances, and prohibitively expensive to boot. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ideally, you want a company that can handle:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On-demand pickups of single items, or single items plus an additional box of junk, the day you decide to part with them, <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Offer minimal time windows that work for you (even on weekends)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Advanced pricing so you don\u2019t experience sticker shock after your furniture is on the truck. <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Clear communications from booking your service through to the job\u2019s completion.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We designed Dolly for this exact reason \u2014 because <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">we\u2019ve been there and done that<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> with moving. We get it: most of the time, when it comes to parting with your furniture and appliances, or clearing a garage of a few boxes of assorted junk, you haven\u2019t planned days or weeks in advance.
