An old sofa, worn-out mattress, or large wardrobe can take up more space in your home than you might think. At some point, you may need to get rid of your furniture, but the question immediately arises: where to move it and how to do it most conveniently?
Removing old furniture doesn't have to be a complicated undertaking. There are several options in Tallinn and Harju County – from selling and giving away furniture to taking it to a waste disposal station or ordering a professional removal service.
Let's take a closer look at five options that will help you get rid of old furniture.
1. Give usable furniture to the new owner
If the furniture is in good condition, it's worth considering whether someone could still use it before throwing it away.
For example, an old table, shelf, or sofa might be suitable for someone who is furnishing a new home or looking for more affordable furniture. Furniture can be offered to acquaintances, shared in local social media groups, or put up for sale in second-hand sales environments.
Before handing over the furniture, it is worth taking some clear photos of it and honestly describing its condition and dimensions.
When is this option suitable? If the furniture is intact, clean, and usable, and you have time to find a new owner.
2. Take the furniture to the recycling center
If the furniture is no longer usable, one option is to take it to a suitable waste disposal facility.
Before you start your journey, it is worth checking the conditions of the pickup location: what items will be accepted, whether there is a fee for the service, and what the quantity restrictions are. It is also worth investigating whether the furniture needs to be disassembled or sorted before being transported.
When is this option suitable? If you have suitable transportation, enough time, and the ability to load the furniture yourself and take it to the waste disposal site.
3. Order professional furniture removal
If you do not have suitable transportation or do not want to handle lifting heavy furniture yourself, a convenient solution is to order professional furniture removal.
When ordering the service, you can arrange a suitable time and let us know which items need to be removed and where. If necessary, we can also arrange for the dismantling and removal of furniture.
This is especially practical if it involves a large sofa, sectional wardrobe, bed, or multiple pieces of furniture whose transportation would require separate organization.
Kolaklaar offers removal of old furniture in Tallinn and Harju County. We remove both individual items and larger quantities of furniture.
When is this option suitable? If you want to save time and effort and leave the removal and transportation of furniture to specialists.
4. Ask the furniture seller to remove your old furniture
When buying a new sofa, bed, or other large piece of furniture, it is worth checking whether the seller offers a removal service for old furniture.
Some furniture retailers offer removal of your old furniture as an additional service or work with a removal service provider. This can be a convenient solution, as the removal of your old furniture and the installation of your new furniture can take place at the same time.
Before ordering, it is definitely worth clarifying whether the service includes only transportation or also dismantling and removal of furniture.
When is this option suitable? If you are replacing old furniture with new and want to organize both activities at the same time.
5. Arrange for the removal of a large amount of furniture along with emptying the room
Sometimes you don't just need to move a sofa or a closet. For example, you may need to empty an entire apartment, house, basement, or garage before moving, renovating, organizing an estate, or selling a property.
In this case, it is worth planning the entire work at once instead of working on individual items.
During a larger emptying, you can arrange for furniture, appliances, and other accumulated items to be removed and hauled away. This way, you don't have to arrange separate transport for each item.
When is this option suitable? If a large amount of furniture needs to be removed or you want to completely empty the room.
What is worth knowing before moving furniture?
Whichever solution you decide on, a little preparation will help make the whole process easier.
- Write down the items to be removed. This will give you a better overview of the scope of the work.
- Measure larger pieces of furniture. This will help you estimate what kind of transportation is needed.
- Think about access. Floor, staircase, elevator and parking options affect the organization of work.
- If possible, take photos. It will be easier for the service provider to estimate the scope of the work based on the pictures.
- Ask for a price before the work begins. Specify what is included in the price and what additional charges may apply.
