Getting rid of a couch, mattress, recliner or dresser is harder than it sounds. It’s heavy, it won’t fit in your car, and the trash truck won’t take it. If you live in Murfreesboro or anywhere in Rutherford County, here are your options, from cheapest to easiest.
1. Sell it
If it’s in good shape, list it on Facebook Marketplace or a local buy-and-sell group. Price it to move and say “you haul” in the listing. This works best for solid wood furniture, newer couches and anything with a brand name.
2. Donate it
Local thrift stores and charities often take furniture in good condition, and some offer pickup. Call ahead first: many won’t accept mattresses, stained upholstery or anything broken.
3. Take it to the landfill yourself
If you have a truck or trailer and a strong helper, you can haul it to the Rutherford County landfill yourself. Expect disposal fees, and mattresses usually cost extra. Check the landfill’s hours and rules before you go.
4. Have it picked up
The easiest option is a junk removal service. A crew carries the furniture out from wherever it is (upstairs, basement or garage), loads it and hauls it away, usually in one short visit. It’s the way to go when you have several pieces, no truck, or no one to help lift.
What we take
Couches and sectionals, recliners, mattresses and box springs, dressers, beds and bed frames, tables and chairs, desks and office furniture, and patio furniture. We donate usable pieces and recycle what we can. Learn more about our furniture removal service.
