When Furniture Can’t Be Donated

Not all furniture qualifies for donation. Most organizations will not accept:

• Torn, stained, or heavily worn furniture

• Broken frames or unstable items

• Water-damaged or moldy pieces

• Mattresses or box springs

If your furniture falls into these categories, condider our Residential Junk Removal service to safley haul it away.

Furniture Disposal at Sonoma County Transfer Stations

For items that can’t be donated, local transfer stations and disposal sites allow residents to drop off furniture for proper handling. This option works well if you have a truck, time, and the ability to lift heavy items.

Things to consider:

• Disposal fees vary by item and weight

• Large furniture often requires multiple trips

• Loading and unloading can be physically demanding

For many homeowners, the time, effort, and vehicle requirements make this option less convenient.
