You’ve chosen the ideal piece of furniture to fit in your area and you’ve bought it, and now you need to figure out the desirable way to dispose of the furniture in the living space. Tossing out furniture that is old isn’t easy. On one hand, there’s the sentimental aspect that, despite the appearance of a new model, is connected to it. Then there is the more practical aspect which is unsure of how to go about it.
There are many ways to dispose of furniture that is old while doing something beneficial for the planet: you’re not one of the people who consider dumping it in the middle of the road is it? Let’s look at some practical solutions to give away your old furniture while waiting for the next model.
Old furniture to give away: how to do it
First of all, we need to start with a simple declaration of intent: what do we want to do with the old furniture now that we’ve bought a new one?
The solutions can be different and lead to different types of strategies:
- you can get rid of the furniture at an eco-island ;
- choose to keep it but cover it with a furniture cover, reserving it for another room;
- give it away or resell it to Used Furniture buyers in Dubai through various online markets;
- rely on the furniture disposal service.
Dispose of your old furniture for free at an eco-island
The furniture is a bulky object. Getting rid of it is not easy at all and falls into the category of bulky waste. The best solution is to contact your local waste disposal company for information or, at the very least, find the nearest recycling center and ask for availability for the delivery of used furniture. Taking old furniture or a piece of furniture to a recycling center is always considered a public service for the citizens and, therefore, free.
Used furniture not for sale but in a hurry to get rid of it?
Be generous and give it away! Yes, exactly: make a round of contacts and if someone needs furniture to fill a room temporarily, give it away. Can’t find anyone? Next stop: Facebook.
The blue-and-white social network is full of groups dedicated to free objects and articles. You can easily find them with the title (I’ll give it to you if you come and get it), accompanied by the name of your city or neighborhood. In these groups, it is very easy to give away for free, with the recipient taking care of the collection on-site, objects, and articles that you no longer use.
Recycle the old furniture with a cover.
Ok, the old furniture is ruined: tears, stains now indelible, signs of time. The padding however still holds, despite the years it is comfortable, and it could really come in handy for that extra room that is currently bare. Bottom line: you don’t want to throw away your furniture. Why not try to reupholster it? If the furniture is suffering from the weight of the years, turning to a professional upholsterer could be too expensive.
An alternative solution? A covering made with a furniture cover: simple and effective. In this way, you will cover any defects of the furniture and you will be able to use it again as a seat in alternative spaces (such as a hobby room, rooms not yet furnished, spacious rooms for which to create a seat, rented houses).
Old Furniture? Sell It Online or Give It Away
The other possibility is to resell the furniture: there are many platforms and virtual marketplaces that allow you to sell used objects, yes: even furniture!
Doing so is very easy: just find the right platform, whether it is a marketplace or a general classifieds site such as second-hand furniture Dubai. Check that there is a specific section for the sale of used furniture, set a price appropriate to the state of wear and tear, and wait for a possible response for the sale.
