Because home furnishings are constructed with multiple materials, it is difficult to discern what needs to be recycled and what ought to be thrown away. Thanks to the skilled disposal services of Pacific Junk Removal, furniture recycling is made safe and simple for residential and commercial clients across Honolulu, HI. The team explains what you should do with your unwanted pieces.

3 Most Common Types of Furniture Recycling

1. Wood Furniture

Typically constructed of treated woods, this furniture is usually unrecyclable. While varnishes, glues, plastics, and paints preserve the quality of wood, these chemicals are dangerous to compost. For this reason, it is better to renovate wooden furnishings rather than recycle them. Painting, holstering, and sanding are some of the ways to repurpose old pieces.

2. Beds

Any item with a mattress is an excellent candidate for furniture recycling. However, when recycling bed frames, consider the type of material. While metal frames can be deposited at recycling centers, wooden frames must be placed in landfills. Note that most trash removal services do not accept inflatable beds as they are made of polyvinyl chloride. Instead, trash collecting companies recommend contacting PVC recyclers to dispose of inflatable home decor.

3. Couches & Cushions

Stuffed with a compostable filling called polyurethane foam, soft pillows are accepted by most private junk recycling companies. After recycling the cushions, simply dispose of any remaining material in the trash.
