How do you get rid of old patio furniture in Wilmington, NC?

Donate it if the frames are in good condition, and recycle the metal if they are not. Or call The Junkluggers to take care of removal and donation or disposal for you.

Trying to get rid of old furniture is a pain, and often a lot harder than expected. This is also true of patio furniture in Wilmington, and the single biggest factor in how successfully you will rehome the furniture will come down to the condition it is in. 

Wilmington has salt air and high humidity, and that causes outdoor furniture to break down faster than most homeowners expect. Wicker rots. Aluminum corrodes, and metal frames rust through at the joints. Even cushions, left outside for a long time, will develop mildew. 

If the frames are still structurally solid and the cushions are in fair shape, you can likely donate the set. Local charities in Wilmington, NC, area will sometimes accept outdoor furniture. If just the cushions need to go, you might be able to donate the frames. But if the set as a whole is rusted, rotted, or warped beyond use, junk removal or scrap recycling is likely your best bet.

You may also be considering selling locally through Facebook Marketplace or Nextdoor, but patio furniture is bulky, heavy, and hard to photograph in a way that moves it quickly. Most listings sit for weeks.

The crew will route salvageable pieces first to local charity partners. When this is not possible, all recyclable materials are recycled, and everything else is disposed of responsibly.
