How to get rid of furniture
Of the 710 facilities we’ve verified so far, 77 mention accepting furniture in their posted rules, 4 say they don’t or restrict them, and 29 post a specific fee. The rest don’t mention them, so call ahead.
Landfills and transfer stations generally take furniture as regular bulky trash, charged by weight or by load, though a few charge per item for couches and upholstered pieces.
Other options. Many cities run bulk-item curbside pickup (sometimes by appointment and limited per year). Furniture in good shape can be donated; several large charities offer free pickup. Online listings and curb alerts move a lot of usable furniture quickly.
Before you go. Ask whether upholstered furniture is charged differently and whether you need to unload it yourself.

Junk removal crews load and dispose of it for you, usually priced by how much of the truck you fill.
Tip: get two or three quotes from local junk removal companies, and ask whether the price includes the dump fee and labor.
