If a piece of furniture is broken beyond repair, the first inclination is to simply toss it. However, if it's a particularly large piece of furniture - like a dining room table or a couch - that can be a problem. Fortunately, there are options.
1. Sell Your Furniture
Most of us are familiar with websites such as CraigsList and eBay. These can be convenient resources for getting rid of old furniture and making a bit of money in the deal. In addition, depending on the type and condition of the furniture item, there are consignment shops, second-hand stores and other venues that will buy your furniture.
Another tried-and-true method, of course, is the venerable yard sale or garage sale. Typically, furniture items do tend to sell well in these events, but the prices are almost always expected to be rock-bottom bargains. But you don't have to take pictures to post online, or haul the things to a used furniture store!
2. Donate Your Furniture
Perhaps making some money is not that important, but giving your old belongings a new home is. This is where donating your old furniture can be a great option. There are literally hundreds of organizations and outlets that will take most donated furniture items.
Mattresses are often rejected, however, as are medical type items. However, almost any other kind of old furniture piece can be gifted and provide much needed furnishings for those less fortunate.
3. Reuse/Repurpose Your Furniture
Okay, so maybe you don't want to bother with the effort of trying to sell or even give away your old furniture. In fact, maybe you really don't want to get rid of your furniture item, but you had to replace it with something new. No worries! A little creativity and imagination can be applied to just about any furniture piece to produce something new. You can reuse or repurpose your well-loved items.
Old wooden chairs can become nightstands. An old bookshelf can be transformed into a display case. A worn-out sofa can serve well in a garage "game room" or even on the back patio or deck. Repurposing your old furniture is only limited by what you can think of.
A Great Option for Unwanted Old Furniture
Okay - the truth is, not every unwanted piece is going to find a buyer, be suitable for donating, or lend itself to repurposing. So what do you do with those?
Believe it or not, calling in a reliable junk hauling firm like Junk King can provide you with an eco-friendly option of getting rid of old furniture. With an emphasis on furniture recycling, this option will allow your junk furniture to be broken down and either recycled or reused.
We hear it all the time and our municipal waste bins reflect it, as well. Different bins, or compartments, for different materials, all to be recycled if possible. And your household junk and old furniture can be handled the same way.
