What to do with an old sofa?

Before you begin, make sure you protect yourself so you don't get injured when moving your old couch. Take a look at our 1-800-GOT-JUNK? guide on how to transport heavy objects safely to avoid accidents. If your sofa is in poor condition or can no longer be used, you can hire a Junk Removal on Kiawah Island SC service to take it away. They will dispose of it properly and they may recycle some of the materials. Are you looking for a way to get rid of your couch and make a little money doing it? If it's in good condition, you might be able to sell it online, at a garage sale, or at a local resale store. For heavier parts, consider selling them to someone local who can pick them up or to an organization that offers the pickup service.

To ensure you get the full value of your antique furniture, compare your sofa to similar items online. If the sofa is in good condition, you can usually sell it for 70 to 80% of its original value. If your sofa is too damaged or dirty, a charity may not be able to sell it and may have to bear the cost of throwing it away. For extremely old and unusable sofas, consider recycling or throwing them away yourself.

You can donate or sell your sofa directly to someone or indirectly by giving it to a furniture reuse charity or a second-hand retailer, who then resells it or donates it to someone else. Either way, the couch will be reused instead to be destroyed.
