Best way to get rid of a sofa

Submitted by antiquated_human t3_yjlkd5 in springfieldMO

What is the best way to get rid of a decent sofa in Springfield, without paying someone to haul it away? I used to live in apartments where all you had to do was set it near the trash and it would magically disappear, but I'm in a house and that wouldn't seem to be an option.

Dump it in the middle of the street, then put in a ticket with the city that someone dumped a couch in the road. They'll come pick it up.

Donate it. Some places even come and pick stuff up.

Abilities First will come pick it up for their disabled individuals in ISL housing!

Set it outside with a $50 price tag on it and someone will steal it before you get back inside your house.

I would not recommend this. I once left a mattress on the curb and no one tried to take it. Ended up having to ask my uncle to take it to the dump for me.

We had a couple old ones that were so beat up, they couldn't be used. We have a second trash container (few extra dollars a month) so we just broke them down into pieces and put it in the trash bin. Took 5-6 weeks of trash collection to get it done, but they are gone now. Probably cost about $8 total.

People in West Virginia burn them to celebrate college football games…but I think the consensus everywhere else is to avoid being like West Virginia. You’re welcome, good luck.
