Having furniture like a chair, table, sofa, or bed to get rid of can be a frustrating situation. Most trash-disposal services will not pick up furniture. If you live in an apartment or condo complex, the furniture may not fit in the dumpster, the trash company won’t pick up loose furniture, and your management company may fine you for trying to throw oversized furniture away. If your furniture is still in decent condition, you can try to sell it or donate it to a used furniture store. If the furniture is clearly trash, most cities and some rural counties have furniture disposal drop-off locations for oversized items.
