Don't want to haul it yourself? Get a junk removal quote

Junk removal crews load and dispose of it for you, usually priced by how much of the truck you fill.

Tip: get two or three quotes from local junk removal companies, and ask whether the price includes the dump fee and labor.

Bigger project? Estimate the dumpster size you need.

General tips for furniture

Landfills and transfer stations generally take furniture as regular bulky trash, charged by weight or by load, though a few charge per item for couches and upholstered pieces.

Other options. Many cities run bulk-item curbside pickup (sometimes by appointment and limited per year). Furniture in good shape can be donated; several large charities offer free pickup. Online listings and curb alerts move a lot of usable furniture quickly.

Before you go. Ask whether upholstered furniture is charged differently and whether you need to unload it yourself.
