How to Dispose or Giveaway Unwanted Furniture

If you’re looking to switch things up in your home or workplace with some new furniture and you don’t quite know what to do with all your old items, then we’re here to give you a helping hand.  Whether you’re looking to giveaway, recycle, or dispose of those old items, we’re the people for you. 

We have teamed up with a few of the local recycling facilities and donation centers in and around Houston so that we can make sure every single item you’re wanting to get rid of goes to the right place.  We do our very best to donate all of the furniture in our trucks; if it’s in poor shape, we always try to recycle it.

The Benefits of Giving Your Unwanted Furniture a Second Life

There are several positives which come with either donating your unwanted furniture to a charitable organisation or recycling it.  

Firstly, both of these methods of responsibly disposing of your furniture will reduce waste.  It’s likely to be the case that your furniture can either make its way to a charity shop and, if it’s had a bit too much wear and tear, it may be able to be recycled. Secondly, you’ll be helping to reduce the environmental impacts the production and consumption of furniture has in Houston and the USA as a whole.

Thirdly, it feels good!  You’ll be free of your unwanted furniture and you’ll either be giving it to someone else who needs it or it’ll be recycled into something new.

Services and Junk Removal Companies

From dining tables to sofa beds, mattresses to workout equipment, companies are able to pick up any kind of furniture at your convenience (click here for more).  We’ll always make sure that it’s donated, recycled, or disposed of carefully and responsibly. Don’t worry about taking your furniture apart, our team has plenty of experience and training so it’s just part of the service. 

We’re always on the lookout for pieces of furniture which can be given a second life.  If you’re wanting to dispose of wooden furniture, then it’s likely we can get even more use out of it by taking it to one of the local charity or recycling centers.

Have a scroll through our list of the items we can take and if you can’t see the furniture you’re looking to have taken away, then drop us a message or give us a call and we’ll see what we can do! 

Giving Away Furniture

So you’ve moved to a smaller home where those larger pieces of furniture can no longer serve a purpose, or maybe you’ve inherited an outdated china cabinet that doesn’t quite fit with the rest of your belongings, or perhaps you’re simply looking to change your decor.  Whatever the situation, we’re here to help.  

Giving your unwanted furniture to charity means that you’ll be helping the local community, providing someone else with a piece of furniture, and getting rid of the items you no longer have a need for.  One man’s trash really is another man’s treasure!

Donating your old pieces of furniture to charity is an eco-friendly alternative to throwing it into a landfill and, even better, it helps others so you can feel good about yourself while having a clear out. If the pieces we collect from you are in good condition, we’ll take them over to one of the charity centres we have teamed up with.

In addition to working with local charity shops, if we spot an item that could be used in a school then we’ll get it to one in Houston’s community.  It’s often the case that your unwanted office furniture can be given a second chance in a school and it’s perhaps the most rewarding way to get rid of your furniture responsibly. 

Recycling Furniture

There are plenty of ways you can give an item of furniture a second life and recycling is a great way to go about it.  If the furniture you want to get rid of is entirely unusable and unlikely to find a new home through a charity, then recycling is your next best option.
It’s often the case that furniture can be recycled, especially those that are constructed from recyclable materials such as wood and metal.  Give us your unwanted or broken metal office furniture and wooden dresser and we’ll get it on its way to being recycled. On a daily basis, over 70% of the items we pick up end up being recycled because, at the end of the day, we want to avoid going to the landfill as much as we possibly can.  

Wood furniture such as dressers, wardrobes, and dining tables are recyclable.  Not everything needs to be thrown away and, if it’s past the point of being useful for someone else, we’ll take it to a recycling centre to give it a second chance.

Disposing of Furniture

As much as we want to take all of your furniture to either a charitable organisation or a recycling centre to help Houston’s community, sometimes it’s just not possible and we may have to dispose of it instead.  

If your furniture isn’t in a good condition and it’s unable to be recycled, we’ll take it off your hands and dispose of it responsibly.  

Pricing for Removal

Our prices depend on how much space your items of furniture take up in our trucks, check out Weeble.   The trucks we use are 14 ft long, 8 ft wide, and 6 ft high and are essentially the equivalent of approximately 8 pick-up truck loads.  As our trucks are 35% larger than our competitors, we’re able to take old furniture of practically any size. Our pricing always covers labor, loading, transporting, and disposal fees so you won’t need to worry about any hidden costs.
