elektrified Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 We have an old couch and 2 junk King size mattresses that we want to get rid of. Anyone know how one would go about doing this? Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

muchogra Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 Try the place just pass the cm-Doi Saket rd (118) on your right if travelling north on 121 (second ring rd). It's a large garbage collection center. I first had trouble dumping all the wrapping papers and corrugated boxes plus other junks when I first relocated here. I was paid almost a thousand bahts I now put all my beer bottles, plastics, cardboards, and non-perishable junks in boxes and haul them there every 2 weeks or so in my truck. I get paid about B40 each time. I'm getting rich, 555. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rideswings Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 Classifieds? Nobody would want them even for free. Total junk. Are you going to haul them or do you need someone to haul them for you? (not free) I might know a place and a person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orac Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 Classifieds? Nobody would want them even for free. Total junk. You need to give them value - if you leave them outside overnight with a for sale 1000 baht sign they will soon vanish. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need to give them value - if you leave them outside overnight with a for sale 1000 baht sign they will soon vanish. Nah. I'm not leaving junk outside. People around where I live are picky junk collectors. I once left out a lamp and a desk and it took about 4 weeks for someone to take them. Saw all kinds of people stop by and look but not take them.

CobraSnakeNecktie Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 (edited) There is a big landfill in Mae Rim Might help if you gave your area Can you please provide some directions or location information for the landfill (not gps)? okay.. If you take the road that goes to all the tourist attractions in Mae Rim. Monkey, Snake shows. The road is the one that also goes to Samoeng. Rt 1096 You will pass the road(left) for 4 seasons and just past that its on the right hand side(North). If you get to any of the attractions such as shooting range, X centre or 7-11 then you have gone too far. Just follow the dump trucks and dirt on the road. I have never used it myself so not sure if just anybody can use it. It's definitely a land fill though Edited May 4, 2013 by CobraSnakeNecktie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tywais Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 This isn't some hic village in Udon. There are a lot of wealthy people around here. But the maids and butlers may want them. If you are in a moo bahn, ask the street cleaners they may well know how to clear them out. Works for us anyway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are in a moo bahn, ask the street cleaners they may well know how to clear them out. Works for us anyway. We tried that when we put an almost brand new desk (it was a 900 Baht cheapie from Tesco and was not stable and had lopsided ends) and a floor lamp in good condition outside. The trash people said they only take small items. I guess I'll have to pay someone to haul the stuff away and hope they are responsible and will haul it to a dump.

elektrified Posted May 5, 2013 Author Share Posted May 5, 2013 WHEN IN ROME No thanks. I've not seen anyone in my moobaan in the 5 years I've lived here, dump couches and mattresses on the soi or in the jungle. I'm not going to be the first to do it either. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arunsakda Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 I got rid of old furniture, beds, everything, before I renovated by telling a Thai lady friend I was giving it away for free. Her relatives showed up with a truck and hauled it away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elektrified Posted May 5, 2013 Author Share Posted May 5, 2013 How about drive them up into the hills for the Akha? If you know someone who wants to haul them up there, send 'em over to pick up the stuff. I don't have a truck. We've got an old couch and 2 beat up King size mattresses we don't want.
