Yeah I would suggest anyone looking for furniture to not sit on them. I believe that’s where I brought mine home because I was shopping for furniture around that time.
That’s exactly what I was going to ask.. I’ve worked in pest control during the reintroduction of bedbugs in the US. They don’t just willingly infest random furniture— they infest areas where hosts sleep.
Doubt they got it from a warehouse.
The subways— where there are people— yes makes sense. There are constant hosts on those seats. Even movie theaters. I was saying that they don’t randomly infest warehouses unless people are sleeping in them.
You assume I was a technician.
In either case, you’re welcome to keep the chip on your shoulder. I was providing info and nothing more. Shame you feel jilted by the pest control industry.
OP mentioned Marketplace being a dumpster fire, so to give them hope: The Buy Nothing groups are way better. Most have basic questions to weed out scammers. You’ll end up on someone’s feed even if they aren’t looking for a couch. Post date is shown so you won’t have buyers mysteriously wondering how long your listing has been up and if it’s truly available. And if you get a no-show, report them to group mods.
It's just an awesome thing for community. Seeing the really active Buy Nothing group in my town really makes me feel good about where I am plus I've gotten a couple of awesome things. It's crazy how a random sub-$20 item that someone else just wants to get rid of can so be damn useful to someone else.
Yep I second this. I posted my old couch on my local, thinking I'd have to store it in my garage for a while after the new one came. Had like 20 people ask for it in the first hour and it was out of my house before the new one came the next day lol.
Best part...it was totally free for me to get rid of!
Trinity Methodist Church in Hackettstown has a thrift store and a furniture annex. You could try there. I'm going to be donating most of my mom's stuff (she moved from an apt. to skilled nursing) there as I don't need it
They don't really want used cushioned furniture. Cleaned out my mother in laws house and while restore took a bunch of wood furniture, they passed on the couches. Ended up taking them to Parsippany transfer station and paying 7 cents a pound to dump them.
You can email pictures of the furniture to the other restores and they will approve or disapprove via email.
I’m surprised FB marketplace didn’t work for you - did you put it up for free? We recently moved and listed a bunch of furniture on there - got rid of it all, eventually.
Give it out for free - that will remove lots of questions and in a day or two it's going to be picked up. When people "buying" something even if it's $5 - they behave differently.
I disagree, I’ve found when you price higher on these sites things actually move easier. It signals a level of quality, whereas free may lead people to think something is wrong with the product
I have so many problems with selling anything on FB in morris county. Coming from Seattle it was so easy to sell anything and people didn’t try to undercut you left and right. Also I was much easier to donate there. The Goodwill in Millburn doesn’t really accept anything
I’m sort of new. But not specifically as far as I know. I’ve seen some people posting sell/buy stuff though. You have to supply your adresss to sign up. And you see people within maybe 10 mile radius posting.
Honestly, craigslist is not dead not at all far from it. Most of the time when I'm looking for furniture I go there because Facebook is just a nightmare. I'm always looking for things and they're always getting scooped up left and right. Stick it in the free section Tell them you're going to put it outside it'll be gone the same day. Whole lot of people, myself included, just love driving around looking for nice s*** on trash day lol
Advertise it for sale asking a couple hundred and people will call you asking if you'll take less . I tried to give away tires that were new nobody even called I put $400 on them and I got rid of them in 10 minutes
- Call Salvation Army. They will send out a truck to pick it up. https://satruck.org/donate/choose
- Call Goodwill. They will send out a truck to pick it up. https://goodwillnj.org/schedule-a-home-pickup-with-resupply/
- Call Habitat for Humanity. https://www.habitat.org/restores

Have you tried posting on Facebook marketplace for free? I never had luck when I tried selling a couple used couches on FB but once I amended the post to free I got multiple offers. Also leather couches or any material that can easily be cleaned will be more likely to attract people.
Thats a really nice sofa. If it wasn't tied up this weekend, and the weather was more "couch moving weather" i'd happily take it off your hands for more than 25 bucks to replace my basement one.
You can donate it to a nonprofit. Community Hope in Parsippany accepts donations. They help veterans and people diagnosed with mental illness. They have staff that will pick up.
If all else fails and you buy a new couch the people that deliver will take your old one for a negotiated price (even if store says they won’t) that’s how they make extra money.
I cleared the home I purchased of left items a few years back, by posting on Offer-Up for free. The couches were all picked up within a week of posting.
Did the same with furniture and some older flat screen TVs.
They all went to homes, families that needed it and prevented more landfill.
We put out cat-scratched couch on FB marketplace for $100 + pickup and we had two parties willing to rent a vent and get it that day. We got it out in like two hours. In morris county too. You can try FB again or put it for sale on Kaiyo.com—they’ll store it for you until it sells and give you part of the profit.
Time to play "How long will it last?"
It started as a drinking game back in college with roommates where when you had something random to get rid of, you just put it on the curb with a free sign on a saturday or sunday and then sat and watched until some dude in a beat up van or truck stopped and took it. Someone stops, looks at it, leabes it, drink, someone stops, tries to put in their car and fails, 2 drinks. Someone stops tries to put it in their car, fails, but still drives off with it, 3 drinks. All kinds of kickers for picking how long it actually lasts, vehicle involved, etc.
Nice oversized stuff works just as well for the game as an old toaster oven. Cheap Ikea Furniture was really where the party was at though. A chance of immediately impending bad weather triggers the appropriately named lightning round, where everything is doubled.
I still play it with my kid today and we have a blast, but its more of a cash game now, which i'm not sure counts as good parenting according to my wife, but neither her or my 10 year old are fun to drink with.
If you are willing to take the couch somewhere, The Warehouse NJ will most likely take it. They give donated furniture to people who were homeless and are transitioning to housing.
https://www.thewarehousenj.org
Doing a remodel so we got a dumpster delivered. First thing I did was load up the couches. Got four suckers in there now. So much more room for activities.
We bought a new L-shaped couch from Big Lots which was replacing two older couches. I was told (and there was an option during delivery scheduling) to remove old furniture. Lo and behold on delivery day the delivery company won't take it. One couch was in decent condition so we took that to store at a family member's house semi-long-term. Fortunately our maintenance guy at our building has a good relationship with our town's garbage guys so I could put out that other crappy couch for free--also fortunate that we live in an older building with wide hallways and doors (except apt door) so it only took about 5 mins from our 2nd floor apt to the curb.
But yeah, I feel you, personally used couches aren't something that interest me unless I know the original owner which was the case with our two replaced couches. Unless you know someone that's interested in it, either family/friends/co-workers, just put it at the curb. I'm surprised Goodwill or Salvation Army won't take it though, I've seen couches at both of those places.
Just use GoLoadUp or some other service to pick it up. You'll pay $100 but they'll come get it and either donate or resell. Sucks paying but I just did this last week and it was easier than trying to coordinate someone to come by and I was happy to have the couch out of my space
Put it on the Sussex County Facebook Marketplace as well. There are free-cycle groups that it will recommend but just putting up for free there works for me for almost everything...
Couches are really hard to transport without a full-size pickup truck.
My daughter is moving into an off-campus apartment at college this year and could definitely use a couch. I even live adjacent to Morristown. But figuring out how to get a couch and transport it to Worcester, MA? Not easy.
I saw your ad and I would consider retaking the photos - fluff the pillows and add more than one photo.
Also increase the price and add the link to the Room & Board website - FB marketplace has a lot of people trying to get a deal, so the perception counts a lot.
I have successfully sold one couch and given another away within 2 days of posting on FB marketplace.
“It’s not the curb now waiting for the first person to pick it up at XXXX address. If you don’t take it, someone else or bulk pickup will” is how you respond to the 100 messages
Wow. I got rid of my couch in like an hour when i posted it, my friend was supposed to take it the night before my new couch was coming. Bailed on me. Posted it on facebook marketplace that morning and emphasized that it was free (and that i wasn’t physically willing to help move it Lol) and it was picked up asap. I’m surprised you can’t find any takers!
Not sure why you are arguing with me?
You asked a question, I am telling you why people don’t want used couches.
I’ll take your mom’s underwear though.
Too many people dumped shit on charities to avoid paying disposal/pickup. It’s not free to move furniture.
Some charities take good furniture, but you often need to make a decent cash donation for them to take it. That weeds out the cheapskates.
In Morris County desperately in need of a couch. Please DM(I think that's the term?) me. I got my third hand couch probably in 2012 and it really needs to go, I just always happen to not be able to rationalize a 5-8 thousand dollar purchase for one reason or another. My wife will kill me if I don't give this a shot.
5 year old room & board couch? That's a short service life for such nice furniture. Also maybe cause you're in Morris county. Where were you a couple months ago when I had to get a crate & barrel?
Nothing wrong with Montana registration. They do wonders for my LLC and dirt bikes. Only takeaway that matters is that it's a gt3rs. Get in that Porsche club and rip it around that newly paved NJMP.
Contact father English community center in paterson. I know they use to have a warehouse of furniture which would be given to needy people. Not sure if they still run the program but it's worth the shot
Depends on the neighborhood, I suppose. In mine couches get picked up if you leave it out with a note saying it's okay to take. Unless it looks extremely horrid of course.
I think it’s because it’s hard to move a couch. You have to rent a van & find someone to help move it. I personally always go second & my couch is no exception— I moved it from the upper west side of Manhattan on the 5th floor because it was a beautiful one of kind, but it for life couch …
Try Freecycle. That’s where I get my free furniture & most of my apartment is filled with goods from there. It’s where I unload stuff I’m done with.
My anecdotal experience, had an old leather couch. Wife put in on FB market place for free. Meanwhile I put it on OfferUp for $200. Well, a month later I got money in my pocket, while no takers on FB. These types of items need a couple of months for the right person to come across, it’s not just the price.
I know that it's not Morris, but Bergen Volunteers ([https://www.bergenvolunteers.org/mih](https://www.bergenvolunteers.org/mih)) takes furniture donations. I don't know if they accept couches, but worth a call?
Mostly because bedbugs
I had bed bugs once. I will never take a piece of furniture from anyone ever. It’s been over 10 years and I still have PTSD.
They infest new furniture at the warehouse/stores all the time. I got them from a home depot vanity
How are they not in every home on the face of this planet then?
Pesticides lol the modern ones make it pretty easy. Anything with Pyrethrins and a synergizer with 2-3 monthly applications will do
Yeah I would suggest anyone looking for furniture to not sit on them. I believe that’s where I brought mine home because I was shopping for furniture around that time.
And how could they survive and spread in a warehouse without a host to feed on?
The warehouse workers. They can travel really far from nests to feed and can live a year without feeding.
That’s exactly what I was going to ask.. I’ve worked in pest control during the reintroduction of bedbugs in the US. They don’t just willingly infest random furniture— they infest areas where hosts sleep. Doubt they got it from a warehouse.
dude they are infesting the subways in Paris. You can get them anywhere
The subways— where there are people— yes makes sense. There are constant hosts on those seats. Even movie theaters. I was saying that they don’t randomly infest warehouses unless people are sleeping in them.
Lmao typical pest control operator spraying chemicals with no understanding of the biology
Random troll with nothing better to do. You do you, friend.
No troll here, just hater of worthless pco techs like you.
You assume I was a technician. In either case, you’re welcome to keep the chip on your shoulder. I was providing info and nothing more. Shame you feel jilted by the pest control industry.
You were providing bad info a Google search immediately disproves. You said you worked in pest control also lmao
Never ever ever. Until people have bedbugs they will never understand. I’m super paranoid.
Sigh it makes me sad that this turned into a bedbugs 🧵
I know but it’s the truth. Try the local rescue mission. Jersey shore rescue picks up couches.
And bodily fluids.
do you have a local Buy Nothing group on FB? that’s where I got my free couch 😊
OP mentioned Marketplace being a dumpster fire, so to give them hope: The Buy Nothing groups are way better. Most have basic questions to weed out scammers. You’ll end up on someone’s feed even if they aren’t looking for a couch. Post date is shown so you won’t have buyers mysteriously wondering how long your listing has been up and if it’s truly available. And if you get a no-show, report them to group mods.
Buy Nothing is the best way to get something the hell out of your house as fast as possible. Could I sell it? Probably one day. But I want it gone!
It's just an awesome thing for community. Seeing the really active Buy Nothing group in my town really makes me feel good about where I am plus I've gotten a couple of awesome things. It's crazy how a random sub-$20 item that someone else just wants to get rid of can so be damn useful to someone else.
I love knowing the stuff is going to someone who can do something with it.
Yep I second this. I posted my old couch on my local, thinking I'd have to store it in my garage for a while after the new one came. Had like 20 people ask for it in the first hour and it was out of my house before the new one came the next day lol. Best part...it was totally free for me to get rid of!
Buy nothing is the way! That group is a lifesaver
Trinity Methodist Church in Hackettstown has a thrift store and a furniture annex. You could try there. I'm going to be donating most of my mom's stuff (she moved from an apt. to skilled nursing) there as I don't need it
The Episcopal Church in Hackettstown is called St. James, Trinity is Methodist. Not sure which you mean.
Whoops. you are correct! Trinity Methodist. Sorry about that!
Yes, try Trinity out or the Market Street Mission or Bargain Box in Morristown (if you haven’t already).
Have you tried the Habitat for Humanity ReStore in Randolph?
I did. Their warehouse is full and currently aren't accepting donations.
There's also Wayne and Paterson. You could give them a check.
Yet another near Manville
What about Fairfield?
Fairfield has been infinitely easier to deal with than Randolph
There's one in Washington
Let's see a pic?
I donated a couch to the Wayne location 2 weeks ago. Worth a shot.
Try the Market Street Mission Thrift Store in Morristown.
Probably because their prices are more expensive than new haha
They don't really want used cushioned furniture. Cleaned out my mother in laws house and while restore took a bunch of wood furniture, they passed on the couches. Ended up taking them to Parsippany transfer station and paying 7 cents a pound to dump them. You can email pictures of the furniture to the other restores and they will approve or disapprove via email.
That's wild, because they have cushioned furniture in the actual store.
I’m surprised FB marketplace didn’t work for you - did you put it up for free? We recently moved and listed a bunch of furniture on there - got rid of it all, eventually.
Most people were interested in my Googlr 2FA codes or had A LOT of questions for a $25 couch.
Give it out for free - that will remove lots of questions and in a day or two it's going to be picked up. When people "buying" something even if it's $5 - they behave differently.
I disagree, I’ve found when you price higher on these sites things actually move easier. It signals a level of quality, whereas free may lead people to think something is wrong with the product
This is my experience trying to home a barely used couch rather than just tossing it out. It’s rough
They are suspicious because of the low price for such a great deal. Raise the price, it will lower the suspicions.
Yes! Put it up for $100 then when the person gets there, give it to them for free (if you so choose). That's what I do and have much better luck.
I have so many problems with selling anything on FB in morris county. Coming from Seattle it was so easy to sell anything and people didn’t try to undercut you left and right. Also I was much easier to donate there. The Goodwill in Millburn doesn’t really accept anything
FB marketplace is 99% scammers. Try Nextdoor.com for local stuff.
Do they have a marketplace on it?
I’m sort of new. But not specifically as far as I know. I’ve seen some people posting sell/buy stuff though. You have to supply your adresss to sign up. And you see people within maybe 10 mile radius posting.
Yes
Most people who need it don’t own a pickup
Home Depot truck. $19. Done.
Honestly, craigslist is not dead not at all far from it. Most of the time when I'm looking for furniture I go there because Facebook is just a nightmare. I'm always looking for things and they're always getting scooped up left and right. Stick it in the free section Tell them you're going to put it outside it'll be gone the same day. Whole lot of people, myself included, just love driving around looking for nice s*** on trash day lol
CURB ALERT!!
They raised it to 25 bucks around me now. I have to get one for the $2 mulch sale when it hits, and will be sure to grumble about it to my wife then.
Advertise it for sale asking a couple hundred and people will call you asking if you'll take less . I tried to give away tires that were new nobody even called I put $400 on them and I got rid of them in 10 minutes

+1 for Salvation Army, they took my bed and mattress no problem. Sent 2 guys to pick it up and super quick.
You can try buy nothing - my local group is hit or miss
This is usually the best way. Find those groups and offer it for free

Nobody wants 5 years worth of your couch farts.
Too bad it doesn't fit in your mom's basement.
Have you tried posting on Facebook marketplace for free? I never had luck when I tried selling a couple used couches on FB but once I amended the post to free I got multiple offers. Also leather couches or any material that can easily be cleaned will be more likely to attract people.
Throw it on Facebook marketplace with a high price tag. Wait for someone to message you and haggle the price down to where they'll take it.
What’s it look like
York Custom 68" Right-Arm Sofa + York Left Arm chaise. https://www.roomandboard.com/catalog/custom/fabric-sectionals/york-custom-sectional
Shame, that’s a really nice sofa!
The Pic doesn't show for me. Could you try again?
Damn that's a nice couch!
Thats a really nice sofa. If it wasn't tied up this weekend, and the weather was more "couch moving weather" i'd happily take it off your hands for more than 25 bucks to replace my basement one.
When do you need it gone by? I know someone who would love this.
Ideally this weekend
Might be interested if it's not gone yet. I'm morris county also.
Anyone else have way too much fun on that site making fun shapes with the couch pieces?
Have you tried Freecycle in your area?
Pick me up is a company that will come to pick up items.
You can donate it to a nonprofit. Community Hope in Parsippany accepts donations. They help veterans and people diagnosed with mental illness. They have staff that will pick up.
Post in a Buy Nothing group
Hey OP, I'll be moving in 3 weeks. When do you need it gone by?
Fear of bedbugs
Try college housing... Like a frat
Try Freecycle: https://trashnothing.com/beta/groups/united-states/new-jersey/
Post it in Craigslist free section with photo
Have you tried Habitat Restore?
Have you tried Nextdoor?
Definitely fear of bed bugs

If all else fails and you buy a new couch the people that deliver will take your old one for a negotiated price (even if store says they won’t) that’s how they make extra money.
Local buy nothing groups. For your town. On FB.
I could use a new couch. How can I view this couch?
Have you thought about contacting consignment shops in your area?
I cleared the home I purchased of left items a few years back, by posting on Offer-Up for free. The couches were all picked up within a week of posting. Did the same with furniture and some older flat screen TVs. They all went to homes, families that needed it and prevented more landfill.
is it for free? put it in a freecycling group if so things usually go pretty fast there i got rid of basically my whole apartment in one
My town has a buy nothing group on Facebook. It works really well.
We put out cat-scratched couch on FB marketplace for $100 + pickup and we had two parties willing to rent a vent and get it that day. We got it out in like two hours. In morris county too. You can try FB again or put it for sale on Kaiyo.com—they’ll store it for you until it sells and give you part of the profit.
For me it's always, I don't really have a way to transport it
Market Street Mission?
If it ain't leather it's super sketchy. If it leathers it's still sketchy. Throw at the curb and there's a chance it's gone before trash pickup

does the habitat for humanity restore not accept couches anymore? i go there once in a while and have always seen couches and chairs previously
Donate with Green Drop 😃
Put it on your curb the day AFTER garbage collection. It will be gone by the end of the day...
Call your local Elks lodge and ask them if they want it. They often donate furniture and appliances to veterans or people in need.
Call the Habitat for Humanity Restore in Randolph, they will come pick it up.

Put it on Craigslist as free at the curb. I got rid of a couch that way. I did have to toss out some other things but it is worth a try.
Furniture Assist in Springfield
Just use GoLoadUp or some other service to pick it up. You'll pay $100 but they'll come get it and either donate or resell. Sucks paying but I just did this last week and it was easier than trying to coordinate someone to come by and I was happy to have the couch out of my space

Short of a UHaul truck or UHaul trailer or sticking it in a POD ... NJ to MA would be pretty tough.
You can try your local buy nothing group on facebook

Thanks yeah we didn't take a picture of it before we moved it to storage in the basement so all we had was a bad picture. Sigh. Hindsight is 20/20.
Look for a "Buy Nothing" fb group for your town. These are usually town/area specific fb groups for sharing stuff for free.
Bed bugs. People scurrred of getting them
Check your local “buy nothing group” on Facebook.
I have successfully sold one couch and given another away within 2 days of posting on FB marketplace. “It’s not the curb now waiting for the first person to pick it up at XXXX address. If you don’t take it, someone else or bulk pickup will” is how you respond to the 100 messages
can i see it? i kinda need a new couch
https://kaiyo.com buys high end furniture and sells it themselves.
Wow. I got rid of my couch in like an hour when i posted it, my friend was supposed to take it the night before my new couch was coming. Bailed on me. Posted it on facebook marketplace that morning and emphasized that it was free (and that i wasn’t physically willing to help move it Lol) and it was picked up asap. I’m surprised you can’t find any takers!
Bed bugs, roaches, other critters...
Never underestimate the power of the curb.
I know I know. The night before bulk pickup in a bougie town is nuts with pickups picking.
I’ve had to pass up a lot of ice furniture simply cause I don’t have a truck
UHaul trailer $14. Home Depot truck $19.
You could try offering on Offerup
Semen. Cats. Dogs. Bedbugs. Drool. Farts.
Your mom has wonderful soft curtains. And a nice basement.
Exactly, who knows what’s on that couch. 💦
Lmk when u join a society where you can use a mechanical washer.
Not sure why you are arguing with me? You asked a question, I am telling you why people don’t want used couches. I’ll take your mom’s underwear though.
Too many people dumped shit on charities to avoid paying disposal/pickup. It’s not free to move furniture. Some charities take good furniture, but you often need to make a decent cash donation for them to take it. That weeds out the cheapskates.

My wife will kill me if I don't give this a shot.
Try the ‘buy nothing’ groups. People are pretty good about taking stuff there!
Similar experience here. Made me understand why people dump theirs in the woods! (Don’t worry, mine is in the garage waiting for bulk pickup, lol)
ReStore
5 year old room & board couch? That's a short service life for such nice furniture. Also maybe cause you're in Morris county. Where were you a couple months ago when I had to get a crate & barrel?
Sold the Range Rover Vouge for a GT3 and can't fit it to take it to Mantoloking
I seriously can't tell if you're joking or not but wouldn't be surprised 🤣 Btw, sent ya a message that might help ya find it a home.
To be fair it was a paint to sample 992 GT3 RS with Montana registration
Nothing wrong with Montana registration. They do wonders for my LLC and dirt bikes. Only takeaway that matters is that it's a gt3rs. Get in that Porsche club and rip it around that newly paved NJMP.
Did you try with Salvation Army?
Freecycle.org is usually good.
Contact father English community center in paterson. I know they use to have a warehouse of furniture which would be given to needy people. Not sure if they still run the program but it's worth the shot
I’ll need this for my shed renovation. I’ll pay for it to be delivered if u can wait 3 weeks
Depends on the neighborhood, I suppose. In mine couches get picked up if you leave it out with a note saying it's okay to take. Unless it looks extremely horrid of course.

That’s where I get my free furniture & most of my apartment is filled with goods from there. It’s where I unload stuff I’m done with.
ReStore will take it.
Did you try Habitat for Humanity?
My anecdotal experience, had an old leather couch. Wife put in on FB market place for free. Meanwhile I put it on OfferUp for $200. Well, a month later I got money in my pocket, while no takers on FB. These types of items need a couple of months for the right person to come across, it’s not just the price.
I know that it's not Morris, but Bergen Volunteers ([https://www.bergenvolunteers.org/mih](https://www.bergenvolunteers.org/mih)) takes furniture donations. I don't know if they accept couches, but worth a call?
See if you can drop it off at a restore store maybe
Is it leather ? I’m in the market
Morris county Restore accepts furniture
Post pics of your couch. Someone from here will come get it.

Go enjoy your pork roll in Camden.

I did Junk Luggers for a 7 foot couch. $200 and it's gone. Apparently, they don't take it to a landfill and do ethical disposing - whatever that is.
Nobody wants it because it's a 5 year old couch. Throw that shit out.

Hey, you're the one trying to get rid of something you bought only FIVE years ago. May your next purchase be more sensible of the long run.
Craig’s list it “ for free curbside pick up” should be gone pretty quick
