Tax Forgiveness
We know how challenging it can be to pay off your tax debt.
The IRS just announced the 2023 Fresh Start Program, to qualify more people for tax relief!
Those simple steps will let you know when that free item is posted by someone on local sites like LetGo, OfferUp, TrashNothing, and NextDoor. This will save you the hassle of having to search for free furniture manually. Most importantly, it’ll give you a heads-up, so you don’t miss out.
Drive Around Town on These Days
There are three days when you can score tons of free furniture. The first is the end of the month, when people tend to move out since their leases are finished. If they have items they can’t take with them or don’t want, you’ll likely see them sitting on the curb or near a dumpster.
Second, is the end of the school year, specifically near student housing on college campuses. Students that live out of town probably won’t have the means to lug around furniture, so they’ll leave it out for pickup.

Third, keep an eye out during bulk trash day. It’s when your town’s garbage pickup takes furniture and other bulky items, so you’re bound to see plenty of free furniture that could fit your needs.
Try Yard Sales
Yes, yard and garage sales typically charge you to pick up items. But since their hosts generally want to get rid of those items, showing up late can work in your favor.
Imagine being a yard sale host who planned to get rid of everything, only to find that they have tons of bulky furniture sitting outside. Instead of moving it back in, many will leave the stuff outside with a “free” sign so someone will pick it up and eliminate that hassle.
As for when’s the best time to score such free deals, aim for 15 to 30 minutes after a yard sale ends, as you’ll likely find the owners around. Also, you don’t want to show up too late, or someone else might pick up the free stuff before you.
Browse the Best Websites for Free Furniture
There are plenty of websites where you can find free furniture online, but the Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist.org, and Freecycle.org tend to be the best of the bunch.
You’d be surprised at the quality and condition of some free furniture on these sites, as their owners may simply want to get rid of the items due to a lack of space or time to sell them.
