Because San Francisco is such a busy, crowded city, it can be hard to find furniture disposal and hauling services for an old futon.
The futon has its beginnings in Japan where it originated as a simple mattress that could easily be rolled up and stowed away. Today we know it as the staple of San Francisco apartment furniture. Because it has a low profile and can easily transform from seating to a bed in a matter of seconds, the futon is perfect for a San Francisco guest room, office, or den.
What to Do with an Old Futon
A high-quality futon mattress and futon frame can last anywhere from 5 to 10 years with proper care and light use. As such a regularly used piece of furniture in a California home, you’re probably looking to get rid of a futon that’s younger than that.
Whatever the age of your futon or your reason for needing futon disposal, chances are that you’re having an unexpectedly hard time figuring out how to dispose of it properly.
Futons and other furniture items are bulky and heavy, making them difficult to haul away. You can’t throw them in the trash or behind a dumpster, but there are a few eco-friendly options for furniture disposal and futon haul-away in San Francisco, CA.

Furniture Disposal & Hauling Services in San Francisco
You can request a bulky item recycling pickup from Recology to get rid of your old futon, as long as you don’t mind dragging it down to the curb. However, it can take about a month before you can get service, and only certain addresses are eligible for this service.
If you live in the district that a Community Clean Team event is being held, you can drop off your old futon to be recycled. The Gigantic 3 program accepts drop off of bulky waste items like furniture at Community Clean Team days. These events are held once a month, so your district will only have one of these events available to you per year. Also, you will need to have the time and equipment on that day to be able to haul your old futon there. Plus an extra set of hands.
Some nonprofit organizations in the San Francisco area will accept your futon as a donation if it is still in good condition. Some charities, such as Salvation Army, offer pickup of donated furniture items. You’ll need to call around and see who will take your futon and if they offer pickup and hauling services. Keep in mind that you may have to wait a while for an available pickup day, as well as take time off to be available when they arrive.
