Donate or sell unwanted furniture
If you have an item of furniture in good condition you could receive a free collection if you donate it to charity. Here's a selection of local charities that provide a collection service:
To give your old items a new home or take some items off someone else, you can also make use of the Borehamwood and Elstree Freegle or Potters Bar Freegle sites. There are also some other great online sites such as Freecycle and Gumtree where you can donate/collect items for free and also Facebook Marketplace.
Alternatively, you can take your items to a local Recycling Centre.
Arrange a collection with us
If none of the options above are available to you we can help remove large items from outside of your property.
We can collect a maximum of five items together. You pay a minimum of £45 for three items, then depending on the category the items fall into there may be an additional item charge of £10 per item or a second separate £45 collection may be necessary. Our customer service team will discuss this with you when you call to arrange a collection.
TVs and fridges/freezers cost £45 per item.
