6 Ways to Deal with Unwanted Furniture in 2023.
Hiya. Do you have an unwanted furniture problem that urgently needs sorting out? A property which requires de-furnishing. Despair not - we won’t leave you stranded without direction. Here are 6 ways to deal with unwanted furniture that you can explore today. Look out for the actions which require leg work on your part, and for those which require barely any at all.
1). Friends & Family
If there’s one thing you can count on friends & family for, it’s accepting handouts. Most of us love a good hand-down, none more so than those closest to us. Try this one to get rid of a number of unwanted furniture items you no longer need.
In the unlikely event that your family doesn't want your rejects, there are a couple other options to try out.
2). Fellow Staff & Colleagues
You’re probably very much familiar with this one already. It involves asking everyone in the department to take one piece of unwanted furniture home each. At times like this, it always helps to have one of those cars where the back seats fold down. However, the large extending dining table might not sit so comfortably in a 2 door sports coupé, so you might want to consider hiring a small van for the larger bits. Be mindful, for some staff, this might be the 3rd or 4th giveaway round this year. Space in their homes may now be non-existent.
3). Self Storage
Put your unwanted furniture in storage, & whilst wearing a wide smile on your face, pay each month for them to be there. You will be reminded by the monthly debits on your bank statement that the furniture is still there - which is more than can be said for all the money spent storing them. You might be in this position today and past fed up with the situation - if that describes how you’re feeling - fast-track to number 6 on this list and we’ll offer a quick exit plan.
4). The Local tip
(Some people actually do this) It’s quite simple - you arrange a trip to the local dump site to have your excess furniture disposed of. We ought to remind you that there will be a charge per kilo for doing so - probably not what you had in mind but at least you’ll get all that unwanted furniture out of your house. Do also note: if you don’t drive a van, you will need to hire a ‘man & van’ or ‘removal’ service to do this for you, this will also come at a cost of course.
5). Charity
You donate your unwanted furniture to charity - someone less privileged gets to benefit from your generous act. Charitable organizations in your area may accept your excess furniture if it meets certain requirements they have. You can search for organizations online today and give them a call or drop them an email.
6). Furniture Buyer
Find a company who specialize in the purchase of unwanted furniture. If they operate in a similar way to us - they’ll conduct a free valuation for you and respond back within 24 - 48 hours. If you like the quote, a date will be scheduled, & a removal team will be sent to your address to clear all unwanted furniture for an agreed sum. You can receive a free valuation today!
