I need to get rid of a sofa by Friday - any ideas?

[Anonymous]

We bought a new sofa (it will be delivered on Saturday) and I have no idea on how to get rid of my current sofa - any ideas? I thought about Craislist, but I don't think anyone will want it - it is REALLY bad because of the cats ruined it.

Try craigslist. People will take almost anything for free - just suggest a slipcover.

Otherwise, contact your county abour large trash collection.

College hunks hauling junk or any other place that picks up junk.

Freecycle or the free section on craigslist. post that it needs to be gone by wednesday, and then schedule a trash pickup for thurs. as a backup (large items)

What jurisdiction are you in? In Mont Co. they have picked up stuff like this for me for free a few times a year. You call and schedule a bulk pick up. I live in NOVA now and we have private trash. But still you can call them and they will come pick it up, they charge a small fee. I think we paid $20 to have a queen size bed hauled away.

1-800-got-junk, but you pay (and they are not the cheapest--easiest, fastest, but not cheapest).

OP here: I live in a Condo and I think the trash pick up company is private. So, if I just call them and take it to the trash spot, they haul it?

OP again - I live in NoVa

Free cycle for sure.

Second this. The service is great and very fast.

After a week or two on Craigslist, we sold ours for $50 and offered delivery within a 5 mile radius. With the offer of delivery, it went fast. Is that something u can do? I think it'll go even faster if u live close to DC.

Salvation Army will pick it up for free

That's what our trash company does. You won't know for sure unless you call and ask!

God, I wouldn't have courage to donate this. The cats REALLY destroyed it.... have you ever seen what cats can do with furniture in a space of 5 years?

Last time we got a couch delivered I think we paid $40 or so for them to take away the old couch.
