Bulky item collections

Special collections for large items.

Donate unwanted furniture to the Peace Hospice shop

The Peace Hospice shop in Borehamwood is always looking for furniture to offer at low prices. If you have an item of furniture that you no longer need and it is in good working order for someone else to use, please call the Peace Hospice shop on 020 8953 1985. If the item is deemed to be in suitable condition, the shop will arrange a free collection from anywhere in Hertsmere. Please download our furniture re-use leaflet for more information.
