The disposal of old furniture reached its peak at the end of the year

The disposal of old furniture formed a peak at the end of the year . As the Spring Festival approaches, some families move their new homes to deal with old furniture, some families want to replace them with new furniture in the New Year, and some tenants also have to deal with old furniture when they move away . In a second-hand furniture transfer forum, there are now dozens of second-hand furniture transfer information every day, all the transferred furniture, such as stainless steel coffee table, dresser, solid wood bed, leather sofa, recliner, four-door wardrobe, TV cabinet, dining table, etc . The reason for the transfer is basically "renovation at home", "moving at home, which does not match the style of the new home" and so on.

Old furniture recycling    Only accept good quality

At present, most of the treatment of old furniture is mainly through second-hand furniture recycling stores, scrap purchase stations, online transfers, and free gifts. "Second-hand furniture is not valuable" is a common view of many people. For example, thousands of dollars were spent a year or two ago. The recycling price of furniture bought in Yuan may now be only a few hundred Yuan, not to mention the disposal of old furniture from seven or eight years ago, and sometimes even no money can be exchanged, and the cost of dismantling and transporting furniture must be added.

" Old furniture mainly earns a small price difference by recycling and then selling . So we only accept second-hand furniture of good quality." Mr. Huang , a boss of a second-hand furniture store, said that once the recovered furniture cannot be sold, he may be Lose money, because many pieces of furniture are chipboard and MDF, which are all wood chips and glue. These materials are basically not reusable, and it is worthless to sell them to the scrap buying station.

" Old furniture does not have a special price evaluation system like second-hand houses and second-hand cars. The price of second-hand furniture is determined by the recycler. Once the recycling process is entered, the depreciation of second-hand furniture is very strong." Furniture industry insiders said that this is mainly It is because the transportation cost of old furniture is very high. In addition, once the second-hand furniture is too poor, the recovery cost will exceed the value of the old furniture itself, and it is not worth recycling.

Furniture trade-in is looking forward to nationwide promotion

What should I do with second-hand furniture ? People in the furniture industry say that if there is a demand for new furniture, "furniture should be replaced with old furniture" may be a better way out.

"Furniture for the new" was piloted in Beijing this November . According to the "Implementation Measures of the Beijing Furniture Trade-in Pilot Program", from November 1 to 30, 2012, individual consumers purchase four types of new furniture (cabinets, sofas, bedding, tables and chairs) in the pilot furniture sales enterprises, and must be movable For non-removable cabinets, walk-in closets, etc. that do not meet the requirements) and hand over old furniture, you will receive a 10% subsidy for the furniture sales price. The subsidy is 5% for the government and the furniture sales company. The maximum amount of subsidies for a single piece of furniture does not exceed 1,000 yuan. According to the results of the one-month trial in Beijing, within 30 days of implementing the trade-in policy, the five companies that have piloted sales have completed trade-in sales of 150 million yuan. Furniture trade-in sales accounted for 26.3% of the total sales of similar furniture.

However, at present, there is no comprehensive promotion of furniture trade- in throughout the country , but some furniture stores such as Red Star Macalline, Yuexing International Home Furnishing and some furniture brands have tried. "The shopping mall cooperates with a second-hand furniture market. Any community within 5 kilometers of the shopping mall can send someone to come to the site for free evaluation and transportation, and give the owner a certain amount of furniture consumption vouchers. Generally, we will give a voucher higher than the evaluation price Consumers can use this coupon to buy new furniture in our mall. We will send the recycled old furniture to the second-hand market for free. Similarly, they will no longer charge us any transportation fees, all we need to spend is a voucher Cost. " Said a staff member of a furniture store .

Many of the "furniture trade-in" implemented in furniture stores are completely corporate behaviors and cannot receive any state subsidies, so they cannot be implemented for only a short period of time. Industry insiders say they hope that the Beijing furniture trade-in policy will be promoted throughout the country, not only giving old furniture a way out, but also driving sales in home stores.
