Your trash might be someone else's treasure.
As its name implies, a sleeper sofa is a type of couch that either folds out into a bed or is wide enough to use as a bed, should the need arise. If you've got an old sleeper sofa in your house that you no longer want, you may want to hold off before chucking it out on the lawn for the garbage men to pick up. There are a few different ways to dispose of your old sleeper sofa. Does this Spark an idea?
Instructions
1. Donate your old sleeper sofa to your local Goodwill. Just because you're done with the couch doesn't mean that it wouldn't make a fine addition to the home of another person or family. Use the Goodwill Locator utility on the Goodwill website (see References) to find a location nearest you.
2. Sell your old sleeper sofa on a local classifieds site. Sites like Craigslist.com allow users to sell old items they no longer want, similar to the way the "Classifieds" section of a newspaper works. You can put up a free classified ad for your particular area. If anyone else in the area wants your particular couch, they can agree to pay your price or make you an offer. Specify whether the buyer needs to pick up the couch to save you the trouble of transporting it.
3. Use the Salvation Army. The Salvation Army is an organization with a similar mission statement to that of Goodwill. Take your old sleeper sofa to a physical Salvation Army location in your area and drop it off. They will clean it up and make it available for people who could use such a couch in their homes. Use the "Locations" application on the Salvation Army site to find a physical location in your area.
