Don’t Throw It Out! What To Do With Old Furniture In Lubbock

Let's face it. The couch in your living room isn't going to last forever, but what happens when you get a new one? Sure, you can try and find space in your house for two couches, but if you're like me, that space just doesn't exist.

So, you can either have a short, albeit very exciting, bonfire in the backyard, or you can donate it to someone who could use it. As tempting as it is, I GUESS I'll take the second option.

Where to Donate Furniture In Lubbock

If you do choose the non-pyromaniac route, then have I got the perfect solution for you. Lubbock Habitat for Humanity is always looking for donations—both big and small—that new homeowners can always use around the house.

Here are just some of the more common items that they accept:

• Lawn mowers
• TVs and stereos
• Furniture of all kinds (As long as it isn't too damaged or has an odor)
• Locks, hinges, and knobs
• Power and gardening tools
• Lumber
• Appliances

You can also donate entire windows, doors, and cabinets, but I doubt many of us just have those things lying around that aren't in use.

All they ask is that all donations are in working order, no matter how old.

How to Donate Large Items to Lubbock Habitat for Humanity

Here's the great news: You can donate any building materials and furniture either in person or you can arrange a pickup.

If you're feeling strong enough, you can drop off the donation at 3630 50th Street right here in Lubbock.

If you are at least two hands short for dropping off large furniture, then you can just call (806) 763-4663 to arrange a pick-up time. They'll send some strapping young men (probably, I have no idea) who will load it up into their truck and take it off your property for you.

One last thing: Did you know that you can also volunteer for Lubbock Habitat for Humanity? Everything you need to know about that process can be found on their nifty website. Have fun!
