LPT : If you're moving out or just need to get rid of large furniture, try listing it on Facebook Marketplace for free before paying a junk removal company.

I'm in the middle of moving and had some old patio furniture that wasn't in great shape. I got quotes from junk removal companies, and they wanted around $400 to haul it away.

Instead, I listed everything on Facebook Marketplace for free. Less than an hour later, people had come by and picked up everything.

One thing that helped: I was completely honest about the condition of the furniture in the listing and before arranging pickup, so there were no surprises for anyone.
