Junk removal (need a couch removed)

[liquidskin 3]

Anyone do disposal? I've got a sectional couch that nobody wants, got it on craigslist, but no interest probably due to tears.

 

I could get my brother and his truck over here, but I got no clue where I'd dump it. Every junk removal place I check out seems to be around $150 minimum, which seems ridiculous for one couch

 

Frustrating, anyone have any ideas?

Why not just call your DPW in town and ask them if you bring the 

couch to the recycling center if they will take it?

Local recycling center only does grass, leaves etc,

 

The town will defer me to the yearly bulk pickup which would be great, but I'm moving 2 months before that happens.

Got a reciprocating saw? You can probably fit most of it in the garbage can over the next two weeks.

O.K. then - How about waiting for the garbage truck to pull up and throwing

the guys $20.00 or so to toss it into the packer?

Two guys on the truck = $40.00

 

Problem should be solved................

Not a bad idea.. I'd have to stay home from work to pull that off though, not worth taking a day when I got too much stuff going on this year. Buying house, wedding, etc.

I am surprised most towns have a 30 Cy container sitting in there due yard for bulk items I know my town does.

That's why I originally suggested the recycling yard. My twp keeps a roll off

container there for large items as well; but I guess some towns don't - not sure?

I disposed of 1 couch, two mattresses and two box springs this way.   I now know how to use a drill to "unwind" a box spring.  The first one I use bolt cutters to cut all the wires, what a pain, the second one I was able to clip at one end and use the drill the corkscrew the wires out.

$100 CASH and we'll take it away

[pbkid6974 1]

seriuosly leave a 12 pack next to your garbage can with the couch and a note. i used to be a trash guy and we took that shit all the time even though we weren't supposed to. usually got a 12 pack or $20 tip.

[Michael2013 56]

In my town, you can bring anything like that at the curb night before garbage collection, and it will be gone before the garbage truck comes.

What scrap yard do you run? I am in the construction business and also have a carting business.

Put it curbside with a "FREE" sign next to it. Also put an ad on craigslist with the location.. ETA: I saw you did that. HMM

 

 

My town has a bulky waste pickup where you pay $30 for a sticker and are allowed up to 500lb of stuff. What happens though is that overnight people come and take stuff. That's fine by me but I'm pissed that I paid the $30 when people took all the stuff! I could have had it hauled away for FREE!

I put an ad on craigslist for a free sofa, will deliver for gas money, got rid of  crap sofa, and $20 for gas.
