Moving, downsizing, and even just updating your home requires that you know how to properly dispose of old furniture and household items. Here at Classic Cleanouts, we know that furniture removal can be a challenge, and depends on its condition and your budget. Common junk furniture items disposed of include, couches, mattresses, dressers, and more. Here are a few suggestions to make your furniture disposal in the city of Boston MA easier.
The need for donations in Boston continues to increase. Instead of throwing your used furniture away, you can do something good and donate the furniture to social institutions. Check online about nonprofit organizations that accept donations in kind, but don’t forget to ask whether furniture donations are currently being accepted, as the capacity of the reception points is not always sufficient. Many nonprofit organizations offer free junk removal and collection of used furniture.
In addition to helping those in need, donating furniture may help lower your taxes. However, there may be a long wait period before they come for the furniture.
Sell the furniture in Boston (65% earning potential)
If the furniture is still in good condition and too good to dispose of you can of course sell it at around 65% of the original price. Platforms such as eBay make it possible to place an advertisement online. You can also sell your old furnishings via the AptDeco or Facebook Marketplace platforms. One of the best reasons to sell your furniture online is that it is typically expected that the buyer comes to you. This means that they will be expected to do all the heavy lifting, so although you are selling at a discount, the process should be extremely stress free. Selling your old furniture is a chance to make a little cash and get rid of junk. But don’t expect too much. You must also be patient. Fixed-price auctions can sometimes be online for a long time before a buyer can be found.
Exchange your old unwanted furniture ($120)
It is effortless for anyone who has a new sofa delivered in the Boston Massachusetts area – because many furniture stores offer you the option of disposing of old furniture as an additional service. Dependability is the biggest issue with this disposal method. It is best to inquire about this option when you buy and then state your requirements when ordering. The supplier has to plan enough space for the old sofa. The price listed above is just a rough estimate, however the costs for the pickup service are usually low, as the companies primarily want to offer comprehensive customer support.
Upgrade the furniture ($596)
Before you throw away that well-loved piece of furniture, think about restoration. Old wooden furniture, in particular, can be turned into chic vintage objects in just a few simple steps through a process known as up-cycling. Give the furniture a new coat of paint, sand off signs of use, or replace worn handles with new ones. The figure listed above is just a rough estimate, but up-cycling and restoration rarely will cost you more than $600. This saves you the costs for not only disposal but also the new furniture. Up-cycling is a chance to earn more money when you sell and get rid of the said furniture. Spare some time and dig through Pinterest for great ideas. Beware, though: the process is time-intensive, labor-intensive, and may need you to buy supplies.
Skip The Junk Removal & Dump it at the landfill ($150+)
This is the best option for bulk furniture removal and disposal. A nearby dumpsite is probably an excellent place to dispose of furniture if you have a pickup truck of the correct size. Think about trying to wait until free bulk waste disposal days at the landfill. To make sure your items will be accepted by your local landfill, check the hours of operation before hauling them. The drawbacks here are the hassle, the permits, and the disposal fees at landfills.
Take it to a eco friendly recycling center ($50+)
Can’t wait for a junk removal appointment in Boston MA for the bulky waste? Take your used furniture to the scrap dealer yourself. At the recycling center, the sofa is disposed of in the most eco friendly way possible. Most systems do not charge any fees for bulky waste in normal household quantities. When costs are incurred, they are usually in the low double-digit range. However, the problem with this eco friendly method is that you need a suitable vehicle with a large loading area to transport the piece of furniture to the recycling center. In addition, you will need a few strong helpers to load the sofa.

"Excellent service, from start to finish! I picked Classic Cleanouts because I wanted to use a local and independent firm, hoped for more personal service, and wanted to support a local business. I got all that, and more, from the minute I first called.
My call was answered immediately, we arranged my little outdoor demo/removal over the phone, the job went by in a flash, and there is not a trace left.
Everyone was so friendly, courteous, responsive, punctual, respectful of property - you name it....
I will definitely call on them again, as soon as the need arises."
“Super fast, friendly and responsive. I really can’t believe how easy Classic Cleanouts made this process. Thanks!”
“Excellent service!! Very responsive, I called them and there were in my house in less than 30 min. Thanks Junk removal team!”
Dumpster was delivered and picked up on the day I requested. They put wood under the wheels and the dumpster was nice a clean when delivered. Great experience!!!
"Ronnie and his crew did a phenomenal job with the demolition work, framing and general carpentry for our home renovation. They found a missing structural support and therefore installed a post and beams. Their work passed inspection on the first try. Having a contractor that is reliable and thorough like them is invaluable."
"I have been a long time customer of Classic Cleanouts. I was renovating a building I had acquired, and it had an old heating system, and cast iron tub. I literally turned my head for a moment, and the whole job was done....I have used CC subsequently, and each time, his has arrived on time, and more importantly his prices are fair....and less than the competition."
Called them for a dumpster and they had it my driveway the next day. When I let them know I was done with it, and it was gone the next day. Quick and easy to setup on the phone, and they have their prices on their website which I really appreciated.
“This company is professional and honest which you can’t find anymore, I’ve always been more than happy with the drivers and staff they always tell the truth on their drop-offs and pick-ups which is another thing other dumpster companies lie on, again I’ve been through a lot of dumpster companies in my life and this ones the best”
