Farewell, Friend (or Foe): Considering Your Couch's Couch Potato Status
First things first: is your couch a castaway or a cause? Is it a plush paradise or a lumpy landmine of springs? Bold, bright, and beautiful, or a faded friend better suited for a horror movie? Knowing your couch's current condition will determine its destiny.
Tip: Avoid distractions — stay in the post.
The Regal Relic: If your couch is still surprisingly comfy and stylish, consider donation! Places like Goodwill or Habitat for Humanity will give it a new life and maybe even earn you a tax break. You might even be hailed a hero by a grateful furniture-destitute soul.
The Great Departed: For couches that have seen better days (think ripped cushions and questionable stains), the donation route might be a dead end. But fret not! Philadelphia offers a few other options:
Curbside Caper: The Freebie Flyer
Philadelphia allows one bulky furniture item per trash collection. Just remember, folks, this ain't Tetris! Break it down if you have to (just be mindful of pointy bits the trash collectors won't appreciate). Pro tip: Slap on a free sign. You might be surprised by how quickly a college student with a truck swoops in.
Tip: Don’t skip the small notes — they often matter.
Word to the wise: Check your local collection schedule and guidelines before you chuck your couch on the curb.
Tip: Read carefully — skimming skips meaning.
The Farewell Feast: Cash for Couches
There are also junk removal services that will haul your couch away for a fee. They might even pay you a few bucks! Think of it as a parting gift from your furniture friend.
Tip: Reading on mobile? Zoom in for better comfort.
