Junk furniture removal can be a time-consuming and labor-intensive task. Getting rid of your old furniture piling up takes a lot of effort and time. Whether it is a worn-out lounge set, bulky 3-seater couch, or a collection of mismatched dining chairs.
In this guide, we will help you understand why working with a professional furniture removal company has a lot of advantages in terms of convenience, time, and safety. And how DIY removal can cause a negative environmental impact. Our services cover various suburbs throughout Brisbane, including the Brisbane CBD.
What is Junk Furniture Removal?
Our junk furniture removal service involves picking up, hauling away, and properly disposing of junk furniture items. These services are designed to save you time and the effort of figuring out how to get rid of all your unwanted items during life changes like moving or downsizing, including heavy or large items like 3-seater couches, recliners, wardrobes, and more. Our Brisbane team is dedicated to providing efficient and effective junk removal services across Brisbane and Queensland.
Our rubbish removal services will come to your home, lift the furniture, load it onto a truck, and ensure it’s either recycled, donated, or disposed of correctly. It’s an all-in-one solution for clearing space without the back-breaking labour.
What’s Involved in DIY Furniture Disposal?
DIY disposal means doing everything yourself – from picking up and moving the furniture, to arranging a disposal option. That could mean renting a trailer, getting a mate with a ute, ringing the council for a collection, or towing your stuff down to the tip.
Though this process seems easy at first, it has a couple of limitations, particularly when working with oversized or irregular items such as a recliner or modular sofa.
