Getting rid of a sofa bed, running out of ideas

Have you got a local selling group on Facebook?
Things on there for free often get snapped up pretty quickly.

The other option is local charities. Groups like the British Heart foundation will come and collect stuff.

I know someone who left some furniture outside the house with a FREE sign on it. Nothing was taken.

His friend suggested a new sign saying FOR SALE - £50. The furniture was all nicked a couple of hours later.

When I couldn't get rid of my sofa, I took my mallet and hacksaw to it, broke it down into smaller bits then drove it to the tip.

Hmm I didn't think of that... might have to give that a try!

That's what I've done in the past. Very easy, just rip off the upholstery, the frame is only wood so either a saw or a sledgehammer to break it into manageable pieces. Burn the wood, or recycle at the tip, according to your preference. The rest of it can go into your bin bit by bit, or drop it at the tip if you're going there anyway. It'll take 20 minutes max to smash it up. And it's good fun

This.

Just destroy and take it in pieces or put it in the bin.

^ Was going to say this. I have got rid of a few things very quickly using this method.
