The Craigslist Houston Furniture section is another option for free furniture. Whether you need a free dresser, refrigerator or coffee table you can find all this in more in the Craigslist Free section.

The way it works is people simply post pictures of their unwanted furniture for anyone to pick up. Typically the free furniture is placed on the curb, although you can call them to ask if they can hold the item for you.

If you are in search of a free couch or some other piece of furniture there is a good chance you will find it in the Craigslist Houston Furniture section.

6. Nextdoor App – Get furniture from your neighbors

The Nextdoor app is another place to score free furniture. If you are familiar with Facebook, you will have no trouble using this app.

Garage sales or yard sales are often held by residents who want to rid themselves of excess stuff; many times this includes furniture.

14. Friends and Family – Potentially Free Furniture

Many times the help we need is closer than we thought. If you need free furniture reach out to family and friends.

There have been plenty of occasions where I just wanted an old TV, mattress or dresser gone. Instead of calling someone to pick it up I just moved it into the garage or spare bedroom. Your family is likely no different.

If you need free furniture ask your family directly or send out a post on Facebook with a list of things you need. Despite all the focus on “haters” and negativity online, I believe people genuinely do want to see you succeed. Reach out to your family and friends because I guarantee there is a piece of furniture in their home that they would love to see you haul off!
