Baby furniture disposal. It’s a time filled with mixed emotions. You’re happy to see your baby grow up. But sad this chapter is coming to an end. When it’s time to replace this furniture with something more appropriate for a toddler, you’ll encounter more than a few obstacles. No matter how cute and/or comfortable it is, it’s no longer new. And, that alone makes it difficult to offload. However, this isn’t to say you’re stuck with it or have to resort to extreme measures.
Baby Furniture Disposal Obstacles
Okay, let’s begin with what seems like a very simple thing to do. You have a child that’s growing out of his or her furniture. It’s time to trade up for something more grown-up. So, you decide you’ll buy this and that as a replacement. Then, you ask if the store that’s delivering it will haul the used items away only to learn that’s not part of the deal. What gives? Well, think about it this way — it’s used and it’s old.
Babies need so much stuff. But what do you do with it all when they outgrow everything? Throwing items away just means they will wind up in a landfill somewhere. So what baby gear can you recycle — and how? Turns out, there are a lot of baby accessories you can and should recycle instead of tossing them in the trash. And there are plenty of ways to recycle safely and easily. --Parents.com
Those two characteristics alone make it unwanted. Then, there’s also the possibility it’s on a recall list — previously or presently. With all this in-mind, you can easily see why it’s a challenge to offload used baby furniture. After all, would you buy used furniture for your own child? Putting it in this light makes a whole lot of sense.

So, just what do you do with outgrown baby furniture? Well, you could put it out on the curb, piece by piece and let the local trash collection agency take it away incrementally. But, you’re probably more interested in going with another option. Here are some baby furniture disposal options:
- Store it. If you plan on having more children in the future, consider storing it temporarily. (Check to see if it appears on any recall list before you stash it away. Then, check again before using it, when it’s time.)
- Sell it. Of course, the first thing that likely comes to mind is to sell it. But, this can really be a serious challenge (for the reasons given above). However, that doesn’t mean it won’t work. You can try to sell it yourself or consign it.
- Donate it. This might or might not be an option, depending on the condition of the baby furniture. Some thrift stores and churches will accept baby furniture as a donation. Although, this isn’t always the case.
