I am currently living in LA accompanying my husband on an overseas assignment. The expiration date is until this summer or next summer, but with the recent Corona fiasco, I am prepared to be ordered to return home suddenly at any time.

I would like to be as prepared as possible in case that should that happen. The thing I am most worried about is getting rid of the furniture.
If I had the time, I would sell or give it to someone else, but I probably don't have that luxury in terms of time, so I would like to ask some vendor to pick it up if possible.

As for questions,
1 ) Is there a company that can come to my house to pick it up ? ( Would it be a recycling company )
If you know, could you give me specific company names and such? I would be very grateful.
It would be very reassuring if the company can speak Japanese.

2 ) I think large items such as dining room tables and beds need to be dismantled. We cannot bring it in.

The address is in the area of Los Angeles 90024.

Furniture includes bed, dining table & chairs, TV board, storage shelves, computer table.
Almost all of them were purchased at IKEA. ( Total cost is just under 200,000 yen ・ ・ ・ )

I am very sorry for being so vague and not knowing what to expect.
I'd be happy to borrow your wisdom.

If you are ok with a donation,
contact the Salvation Army ? I donated a large sofa and had them come pick it up.

Any Japanese-affiliated moving company that advertises on Vivinavi will dispose of all the items in one lump sum. Of course, there is a cost involved. Usually moving is from your current house to a new house, right? For disposal, it is from your current house to the disposal site. Just the destination is different, but it is the same as the normal moving fee.

It used to be that Nittsu took it back when they moved out. Why don't you ask them ?.

I have contacted Salvation Army 3 years ago and I remember that they do not take Ikea furniture. You might want to check with them when you inquire.
