How to get rid of a couch in Vancouver?

If you have an old couch, and you need to get rid of it, there are few options for you. You can donate it, sell it, or call a junk removal company to haul it away for you.

Junk removal company

This is the option that will save you the most money, but it will also cost you money. Couch removal rates are around $80-$90. Allow for few days, before you expect them to pick it up for you. Same day hauling services are possible, but it is not advisable to go this way. Especially in the summer months, when companies are very busy.

Taking it to the dump yourself

This is an option some people take. If you have a pickup truck, then this can work for you. You will probably save around $50, but use up to 2 hours of your day. It is all about, how much your value your time. Renting a truck is not economical, for you will spend pretty much the same money as if you were hiring a hauling company.

Donating your couch

Old sofas can be taken to some charities, but you may have to drive around for a while ,until you find a charity that is not too scared of bedbugs. Most will have a strict policy not to take furniture, because of such fears.

Selling your couch is also an option, if it is in a good condition. Just keep in mind that 2nd hand furniture is problematic, in a sense that most people will be canceling on you. You may have to spend few days at home, before you find a serious buyer.
