How do y’all dispose off furniture?

I have a bed frame and mattress that's not from Ikea. I want to purchase new ones from Ikea, and will have it delivered and assembled. I was wondering if I need to take my old bed apart before they arrive? And will they dispose my old bed for me as well? Or do they take Ikea furniture only? It's very bulky and I just got my home freshly painted this week. I don't want to fuck up and accidentally scratch my walls while disassembling and lugging it down the stairs LOL. My bed frame and mattress are quite massive.

... Read moreWhen replacing old furniture like a bed frame and mattress, figuring out how to dispose of them can be daunting. Many individuals worry about damaging their home while disassembling large items. Fortunately, companies like IKEA typically provide assembly services and may also assist with removal of your old furniture. Before your delivery arrives, it's a good idea to check with IKEA about their specific policies regarding disposal and whether they take non-IKEA furniture. If they do not take your old items, consider local furniture donation centers or charities that accept used furniture. Many organizations are willing to pick up large items at no cost. Additionally, some municipalities have bulk waste disposal days where you can place larger items at the curb for pickup. For extreme cases, you might also look into hiring a junk removal service that specializes in disposing of bulky furniture. Remember to take measurements of your new bed and account for doorways and stairways to ensure a smooth delivery and avoid damage to your walls. Lastly, if your old mattress is in decent condition, explore recycling options. Many areas have eco-friendly programs to ensure your old mattress is disposed of responsibly. By planning ahead and considering all options, you can make the process of furniture disposal much less stressful and ensure your new furniture fits seamlessly in your refreshed home.

I give away my old furniture or resell it. You know the saying. Another man's trash is another man's treasure. Haha.

either resell it on marketplace or we’ve burned really old wood furniture or just throw it in a big dumpster or wait for trash pick up day.
