What to do with old furniture? Sell, donate, or renovate?
Have you decided to get rid of your old furniture, but don't know what to do with it? Even worn-out furniture can find a use; you can even sell it or donate it to a good cause.
What to do with old furniture that is no longer functional
If you have definitively assessed that the furniture you want to throw away is not suitable for further use, you should dispose of it in the right way. For those who think that the right way is to burn it in the garden or throw it away in a stream outside the village, we will tell you that this is not the right way. Furniture is classified as bulky waste, so you must take it to a Scrap buyers in Dubai.
Every municipality where the services of a collection yard are not available to citizens must also ensure the collection of oversized waste at least twice a year or provide a large-capacity container. In the first case, collection usually takes place in such a way that you unload the furniture in front of your gate on a specified date, and the company that will collect it will take care of the rest. However, to be sure, contact the municipal office directly.
How to separate old furniture
Separating old furniture is beneficial for those who have no way to take it to a collection yard or a bazaa, or who feel responsible for the environment. Furniture can be made of various materials. The most commonly used ones include wood, various types of metals, plastic, leatherette, leather, er and textiles. The only way to separate furniture is to disassemble it, sort the individual parts, and then throw them into the appropriate container for sorted waste. You can safely disassemble furniture on your property or even in your apartment. It is not hazardous waste.
- Leatherette or rubberized textiles do not decompose in compost and are not separable. Therefore, throw them away in mixed waste.
- Although industrially produced textiles are partly recyclable, you will not find these containers in our country. The largest company in Slovakia that recycles textile waste and produces car accessories, insulation, and, paradoxically, textile furniture from it is SK-Tex. However, this company does not directly buy or collect textiles. You must therefore find out whether there is a dedicated container or collection point for textiles in your area from the relevant city or municipal office.
- You can sell the metal at a scrap yard and earn a few cents. Another option is to throw it in a container designated for metal and metal packaging.
Removing old furniture – how to do it
When throwing away old furniture, its removal is probably the biggest problem. If you have a trailer or roof rack, you can do it yourself. However, if you don't have one, you will have to arrange for removal through a moving company or rent a van. The price of these services depends mainly on the number of kilometers that you need to travel with your furniture. Therefore, try to throw it away, sell it to a used furniture buyers Dubai, or donate it to places that are not too far from your home.
If you want to make the job of moving furniture from the interior easier, find a company that specializes in apartment cleaning. These services are a bit more expensive, but they are also much more convenient. The difference between "movers" and this company is that you will not have to do anything with the furniture.
How and where to donate furniture
Donating furniture to charity is probably on the mind of every second of you. Yes, it is undoubtedly a good idea, and you can also help those in need. Before you load a couch or an old wardrobe on the roof of your car, however, check in advance whether the charity in question also accepts these donations and whether it needs them at all. It often happens that in a given period, the facility has received a large amount of furniture or currently has no one to donate it to, or knows how to use it.
