Brett and I are now down by two giant heavy cumbersome couches. Hooray!
We each had a pretty comfy couches when we moved to NY, and we kept them both through the last move. Now that we're downsizing to a small apartment, though, we don't have room for two couches and neither are particularly amazing. When we have a little bit saved up, we'll probably buy a nice new one.
So to get rid of the old ones, we asked around work to see if anyone wanted one, but were planning that we would need to pay the dump to take them. The nearest salvation army that takes furniture is all the way down in O town but just tossing them (and paying to do it) made me feel sad.
Brett's was a sleeper sofa, which meant it was HEAVY and old as something really old. Still, it was in really good shape and we found some one at the Hall who was in the market for a sleeper sofa so that took care of that.
Mine was super comfy and, once upon a time, it reclined, but one of the springs had since broken and it doesn't lay back like it used to. As a 50 dollar thrift store buy, it has served its purpose and I wasn't especially attached to it emotionally, so we pulled it out to the curb and put a big "FREE!" sign on it.
Not 15 minutes later, a guy with a truck pulls up, knocks on the door and asks if he can take it.
So that was easy.
Two couches down, two tvs, an entertainment center, a queen mattress left to pawn off on someone. Anyone interested?

- Not only am I an avid knitter, I'm also a Classics/ Art History graduate from a small liberal arts college in Wisconsin. I've been working for a year at a historic farm. Currently, work and research eat up most of the time I'd rather spend knitting, but I love what I do. I dream of someday living in the country with a small flock of sheep, cooking gourmet food and fooling around with vintage knitting and natural dyeing.

If you can't find anyone to take the TVs, there is a recycling program that Best Buy offers. You take your TVs into Best Buy, give them $10 per TV and they will give you a $10 gift card for each $10 that you give them. I found this to be a better alternative than paying a garbage collection agency to take your TV, and you at least get something out of it. Plus at the dump the Mercury from the TV ends up in the landfill anyways, which isn't a good thing.
Best of luck with the move.
Congratulations on the successful disposal of two couches - going to be used again. Hope I do as well with all the furniture I want to sell at the garage sale.
