Sometimes furniture or household garbage are found in residential properties awaiting demolition.
Although furniture, mattresses and household items are often disposed of in a municipal solid waste landfill, check with your local solid waste management district.
Natural disasters
Natural disasters also raise the issue of disposing of furniture and household garbage from homes that are going to be demolished.
If you are planning large-scale residential demolitions, you may find useful advice by researching how to deal with that same problem when it is caused by a disaster.
