Did you use a chain saw or something? I’m having a similar issue and was goin to just shell out a hundred for bulk pick up.

Not at all. Once the cushions are removed and then rip open the fabric and remove all the stuffing, it's mostly air. Had some metal wire supports and the standard wood framing. Used a small hand saw to break out some of the larger pieces, otherwise just gloves and boots and stomp and pull all the wood pieces apart. At the end of it all, basically had some 3-4 foot sticks.

As long as you have a spot to break it down, and can do it over 4-6 weeks, it is quite easy. Each weekend I would tear some apart and fill the container.

I’m going to start trying that tomorrow. Our two person household only ever gets halfway in the garbage anyways unless it’s a deep clean weak.
