Furniture Disposal Guide

Find out how to dispose of furniture in your city

Welcome to LA Furniture Store’s Furniture Disposal Guide. Our goal is to make it as easy as possible to dispose of old furniture by providing you information about your state and town’s waste management. Use this guide to find out about mattress pickup regulations and bulk item or furniture removal in your city. Find out if you can just throw out your old furniture, or if you need a special pickup. To get started, simply type in your city above or choose a state below to get a list of the featured cities in your state.

How do I dispose of my old furniture? Do I have to call a private service to get rid of my old mattress? How much does it cost to drop off my box spring at my town’s landfill? And where can I go to find information about my city’s Waste Management services anyway? These are probably the questions you’re asking yourself when you’ve got some bulk items you’re trying to dispose of. And with the influx of information floating around the internet about how to ‘properly’ dispose of your furniture, we know how tempting it can be to procrastinate on removing your junk, ultimately turning your basement into the graveyard of all your old rubbish. 

This is where our furniture disposal guide comes in—it’s here to help answer your questions by providing you with an exclusive resource to your state and city’s Waste Management services.

Using the LA Furniture Store furniture disposal guide is simple; just search for your city and you’ll be brought to your city’s disposal page. Once you’re on this page, you’ll be provided with information on the process and regulations for disposing sofas, mattresses, box springs, and other bulk items in your city. 

All cities will provide 1 of 3 methods for removing your furniture; normal pickup, special pickup, or drop off.

• Cities that provide normal pickup will simply have you place your items onto the curb and your weekly trash collectors will come by to scoop it up.
• If your city requires a special pickup of these bulk items, then you must call your local DPW (Department of Public Works) office or Waste Management office, and schedule a pickup.
• If pickup is unavailable in your town, then a local landfill site location will be provided where you can drop off your old furniture.

Wondering about the fees for any of these services? 

Don’t worry—we won’t leave you in the dark about that important information either. We’ll provide as much information as we can so you know what your next steps are to having a junk-free home.

In addition to the essential junk removal facts, we provide you with the contact information of important offices in your town. This includes phone numbers, e-mail addresses, hours of operation and the official .gov or .org website of your town’s Waste Management program. And for those who wish to donate their gently used furniture, mattress, or box spring, a list of donation locations in your city is available as well.

We hope our furniture disposal guide takes some of the burden out of researching your town’s Waste Management and makes bulk item removal in your city a lot less confusing.
