With over 10 years’ experience in the Sydney rubbish removal industry, there’s not much that we haven’t seen! From massive old couches, to bulk broken chairs, we’ve removed all types of furniture. In this time we’ve almost seen a whole generation of furniture, it’s sad to be throwing away furniture that only a few years ago was brand new. We’ve also seen an increase in this kind of furniture, it seems that modern furniture isn’t built to last and people just like to buy new stuff. For this reason, we try to make sure that your furniture is disposed of in the most responsible way possible —if it can be recycled, we’ll recycle it.

Save Yourself from Injury

Some of these items, such as chairs, you may be able to find alternative ways of removing them as they would possibly fit in your car and you could probably shift them quite easily yourself. Other items, such as couches and cabinets, will probably be quite hard to relocate on your own, and possibly even dangerous! There is over 100,000 injuries every year in Australia from people trying to shift heavy objects – don’t let this be you. Our team are shifting heavy things every day and we know all the tricks when it comes to moving things easily and safely. We won’t ask you to lift a finger when we’re removing your furniture – the only thing you have to do is tell us what needs to go.

With so much furniture out there (and so much cheap stuff) it can be hard to know what type of furniture will last and not be broken after only a few years of use. Unfortunately, quality furniture often costs a lot more, but it is usually worth it! Furniture that is made from unprocessed wood is going to last longer than alternatives like chipboard and mdf. If the item is painted or has some sort of coating on it, it will most likely be one of the latter products.

After a few years of use, coatings can come off and chipboard can chip off with the glue that holds it together getting old. MDF on the other hand, can easily be ruined by a small amount of water – it swells up and will never go back to it’s previous form. You can tell real wood by looking at the wood grains. To avoid the high prices that real wood can have, it’s a great idea to buy second hand.

Despite wooden furniture having a timeless style, you will find second hand items for sale regularly, as people downsize or upgrade. Websites like Gumtree are great places to find bargains on quality second hand items. If your furniture is still in a working order, you could even try selling it here yourself.
