If you live in the greater Louisville area and you have some old furniture you need to get rid of, you’ve probably found that furniture disposal is no easy task. This is even more apparent when you realize that almost no piece of furniture is ever going to fit into your family sedan. And that’s just the first speed bump. Most pieces of old furniture are too heavy or bulky for one person to lift and carry, so you’re going to need some help. Oh, and you need to know where to take it to dispose of it!
The Problem with Furniture Disposal
There are probably a few “convenient” ways to get rid of your old, unwanted furniture - like dumping it in an empty lot or off the side of a backroad somewhere. The problem with that is that it’s against the law. The City of Louisville makes it clear: “It is unlawful to dump any waste on property that is not licensed as a disposal facility. Illegal dumpers are subject to fines and impoundment of vehicles.” And simply hiring some guy with a truck to come and take away your old furniture can be an unintended exercise in illegal activity if you’re not careful apparently! According to the City of Louisville official website, “If you hire someone to dispose of waste for you, ask to see their Waste Hauler License and do not pay without a disposal receipt. Properly disposing of truckloads of materials costs at least $50 - if you're charged less than that, be suspicious. Perpetrators will often take your money and illegally dump your items to avoid the disposal fee.” If you live in the city of Louisville or anywhere else in Jefferson County, you can take up to three large household items yourself to the Waste Reduction Center. This is great if you happen to live in Louisville or even in Buckner, Jeffersonville, Charlestown, La Grange, and Fairdale. That’s if you have a way to get them there, that is. If you don’t have the means of hauling those junk furniture pieces yourself, you have three chances each year to get them out to the curb if you happen to live in Jefferson County’s Urban Service District. But what if you missed the last pick up? What if you can’t wait four months for the next scheduled pick up? And what if you have far more old furniture than the city or County is willing to pick up for you? That’s why calling Junk King Louisville is your best (and safest!) option for old furniture disposal.
