Quick answers

What happens to old furniture after it is hauled away?

Most discarded furniture ends up in a landfill: 80.1 percent of furniture and furnishings were landfilled in 2018. Sturdy wood and metal pieces in good shape are worth offering to a neighbor or a donation center before the haul.

Do drawers and cabinets need to be emptied first?

Yes, empty drawers, shelves and cabinets before the visit. Full drawers make a dresser far heavier and can slide open on stairs, and anything left inside gets hauled with the piece.

Can a sectional or sleeper sofa come out of a basement?

Usually yes, because most sectionals unbolt into pieces and sleeper sofas are lighter once the mattress is pulled out. Measure the stair turn and the tightest doorway, and send those numbers with a photo so the scope covers any disassembly.

What 24/7 Express Handyman Service does on site

  • Removes sofas, sectionals, recliners, bed frames, dressers, desks, tables and bookcases from any room, including basements and upstairs bedrooms.
  • Breaks down bed frames, sectionals and flat-pack pieces so they leave without scraping walls, banisters or door frames.
  • Leaves any piece you mark to keep or donate, and hauls the rest with the disposal fee billed at cost from the receipt.

How it works

  1. Walk the rooms by photo or in person and tag each piece that goes.
  2. Get a written scope and price, with disposal added at cost from the receipt.
  3. On the day, floors and corners are padded, pieces come apart where needed, and everything is carried out and tied down.
  4. Referred out: pianos, safes and hot tubs go to specialty movers; furniture wired into the wall, such as a hard-wired lighted cabinet, is disconnected by a licensed electrician first.

When to stop and call

If a dresser or bookcase is already tipping, or a piece is too heavy to slide without two people, stop and keep children away from it. 24/7 Express Handyman Service will take it apart and carry it out.

What happens next

  • The written scope and price come first; the landfill or transfer-station fee is added at cost from the receipt, and nothing is hauled until you approve the scope.
  • Photograph the damage before anything is moved and keep every receipt; 24/7 Express Handyman Service provides an itemised invoice your insurer may ask for. The dispatch fee and job cost are paid by you on the day.

By zone

  • Zone A

    Salt Lake City & Millcreek

    From Salt Lake City's east side and Millcreek, furniture goes to the Salt Lake Valley Landfill, which takes furniture at its flat rate or its $36 per ton mixed trash rate. Mattresses and box springs are charged separately at $18 for each piece.

  • Zone B

    Park City & Summit County

    From Park City and the rest of Summit County, furniture goes to the Three Mile Canyon Landfill, where loads are charged by weight except freon units, tires, chipped green waste, mattresses and reuse items. Uncovered loads pay a double fee, so every load is covered.

  • Zone C

    Heber Valley & Wasatch County

    From the Heber Valley and the rest of Wasatch County, furniture goes to the Wasatch County Solid Waste Transfer Station at $56 per ton, with a $20 minimum for a tarped or strapped load and a $25 minimum for an unsecured one. Since November 1, 2022, the station has told licensed contractors to take their loads elsewhere, so a hauled load may go to Ace Intermountain Recycling in Heber City instead; the fee is billed at cost either way.

Every job 24/7 Express Handyman Service takes on is under $3,000 including labor, materials and any change orders (Utah Code §58-55-305); a change that would push a job over that line is referred to a licensed contractor, not written up as a second job. plumbing, electrical, HVAC, gas appliance / combustion system work is referred to a licensed trade.
