How To Dispose Of A Couch
A couch is a large household item that can be a pain to dispose of. Use our list of options to properly throw out your old couch.
How To Get Rid Of A Couch
Any couches featuring mold, mildew, or the presence of bed bugs or termites should not be recycled, donated, or sold. After ensuring your old couch is still in decent shape, use one of the following options to get rid of it.
1. Go To A Recycling Center
Contact the site ahead of time to ensure they will take couches. It’s possible that you’ll have to break down the sofa or separate the different parts of it by material.
In that case, you will need to remove the cushions and throw them away. The next step is to dismantle the frame before dropping the couch off at the site.
2. Sell The Couch
Instead of further filling up landfills, you could try to sell your old couch. Just make sure the couch is clean and stain free. Craigslist, eBay, or Facebook Marketplace are good sites to sell or trade the old couch. Including your couch in a yard sale is another great option.
3. Donate The Couch
You may be able to donate your couch if it is still in good shape overall. Make sure your couch is clean and gently used before attempting to donate it. Homeless shelters and furniture banks are likely to accept couches, as well.
4. Trade For An Upgrade
Some stores may offer the option of trading in an old couch with the purchase of a new one. Most likely, these stores will only allow trade ins of brands they carry. Other stores may allow you to trade in any couch to receive a discount on a new purchase.
