How we checked this. The rules on this page were verified in October 2026 against: City of Jackson: Garbage Collection (bulk items on second collection day). Programs change; confirm fees and limits before you go.
Why furniture are different from ordinary bulk. Furniture disposal isn’t heavily regulated like refrigerators or hazardous waste, the challenges are practical: (1) Size and weight (sectionals, dining tables, large dressers, entertainment centers can exceed city bulk pickup limits). (2) Condition (donation programs reject furniture with significant damage, stains, or pest history). (3) Disassembly (some cities require large pieces broken into manageable sections). (4) Pickup logistics (most donation programs require ground-floor or accessible placement; few will navigate stairs).
Three mistakes that get furniture left at the curb:
When free options don’t fit your timeline or your furniture is too damaged for donation:
Other Paid Junk Removal Services
$70 to $300+National services include 1-800-Got-Junk and College Hunks Hauling Junk. Local independent haulers in most metros offer competitive pricing, typically $50 to $150 if you find a smaller operator. Bundling multiple furniture items into one pickup is often only marginally more expensive than booking 1, ask about bundled pricing for whole-room cleanouts.
Whole-room or whole-house cleanouts: Pricing scales with volume. A typical 1-bedroom cleanout: $200 to $500. A typical estate cleanout: $500 to $2,000+. Always get 2 to 3 quotes.

What’s the easiest way to get rid of old furniture?
If the furniture is usable, donation pickup is the easiest path. Salvation Army, Habitat for Humanity ReStore, Goodwill, and local Furniture Banks offer free pickup of usable furniture in 50+ U.S. metros. Schedule online or by phone, typically 1 to 2 weeks out. If the furniture is broken or unusable, free city bulk pickup is the next easiest option in most cities.
Will Salvation Army or Goodwill pick up furniture for free?
Yes, both programs offer free pickup in most major U.S. metros. Salvation Army: schedule at satruck.org or call 1-800-SA-TRUCK. Goodwill pickup availability varies by region, many local Goodwills offer pickup, others only accept drop-offs. Habitat for Humanity ReStore (habitat.org/restores) is another excellent option specifically for larger furniture. All three require furniture to be in usable condition: no significant tears, stains, broken frames, or odors.
What if my furniture is broken or really damaged?
Donation programs typically reject broken or heavily damaged furniture. Your remaining options: (1) Free city bulk pickup, most cities accept furniture in any condition as long as the frame is intact enough to lift. (2) Online “Free” listings on Craigslist, Facebook Marketplace, or Buy Nothing groups, some takers will rehab furniture donations reject. (3) Paid hauler ($70+) for full-service same-day pickup. The Buy Nothing groups especially find takers for furniture donation programs reject.
Do furniture stores offer free haul-away with delivery?
It varies. High-end retailers (West Elm, Crate & Barrel, Pottery Barn, Restoration Hardware, Room & Board) typically include free old-furniture haul-away with new furniture delivery. Mid-tier and budget retailers (IKEA, Wayfair, Ashley, Bob’s Discount Furniture) often charge $50 to $150 for haul-away, or offer it as an add-on. Always confirm at purchase. This is especially valuable for large pieces (sectionals, dining sets) that exceed city bulk pickup size limits.
