If the furniture is genuinely in good condition, I’d try to give it a second life rather than throw it away. The best option depends on whether you care most about money, convenience, or helping someone.
For good but ordinary furniture, I'd do this:
If you tell me what furniture you have (e.g., sofa, dining table, mattress, dresser) and roughly where in Houston you are, I can find the best nearby donation/pickup options and tell you which ones will take each piece.

I love using Buy Nothing groups for good furniture. It feels so much better knowing a neighbor is actually excited to use it rather than haggling over $20 on Marketplace.
Habitat ReStore was super easy to work with when I cleared out an extra couch. I just filled out their online form, and they came right to the garage to haul it away.

Local Gifting (Fastest & Easiest)

Charitable Donation (Most Meaningful)

Selling Online (To Make Money)
Selling takes the most effort (photographing, pricing, meeting buyers, or dealing with no-shows), but it recoups some cash.

If the furniture is genuinely in good condition, donating it is usually the easiest and most useful option. You can also sell it if getting some money back matters.
Don't put good furniture out for bulk trash unless you've exhausted these options. A usable piece can get a second life, and some donation organizations will handle the heavy lifting.
If you're in the Hollywood, FL area, I can also find you the best nearby organization that will pick up your furniture for free, including what they currently accept.

If the furniture is still in good shape, donating or giving it away is usually the easiest and most worthwhile option. I'd use this order:
Donate it to a local nonprofit.
Near Haverhill, Essex County Habitat for Humanity ReStore Lawrence is a good first choice. Their ReStore accepts selected furniture, and Essex County Habitat offers free pickup for pre-approved items. They ask for photos and have specific condition requirements, particularly for upholstered furniture.
Give it away locally if you want it gone quickly.
Post it as “FREE — pickup only” on Facebook Marketplace, your local Buy Nothing group, Craigslist, or a neighborhood group. This is often faster than arranging a donation pickup, especially for sofas, tables, and dressers.
Try a furniture-bank charity.
Project Home Again in Andover furnishes homes for people in need and accepts donated furniture that meets its current requirements. Their pickup policy is worth checking before moving anything.
Sell it if it's valuable.
For quality solid-wood, antique, designer, or vintage pieces, consignment can make sense. In Haverhill, Vintage View Inc. is a local used-furniture/consignment option.
Use a paid pickup service if convenience matters most.
If you don't have a vehicle or can't move the furniture, services such as Lugg or LoadUp can pick it up and arrange donation/reuse, though you'll pay for the hauling.
One important tip: Don't just leave furniture outside a charity. Acceptance rules vary considerably, and upholstered furniture generally needs to be exceptionally clean and free of stains, tears, odors, and pet damage.
If you tell me what furniture you have (e.g., sofa, bedroom set, dining table), roughly how old it is, and whether you need pickup, I can find the best local option for each piece.
