Get rid of bulky furniture and appliances responsibly

Use this guide when you are replacing furniture, clearing a room or moving and need large items gone. Have the item measurements, photos and a note of any fire safety label on upholstered furniture.

Step by step

1. Decide whether it can be reused

   Check the item's condition honestly: clean, working and complete items have the most options. Upholstered furniture usually needs its fire safety label still attached for a charity or reuse shop to accept it, so look for it before you contact anyone. Photograph the item in good light with its measurements so you can share them quickly.
