Old furniture

[hopeless_pete]

Hello,

I'm actually a new home owner, so many things are still new to me. M parents have left to me alot of their old furniture. The problem is have no room or need for any of these items (old wardrobes, larg cabinets, rusty bookcases, etc).

The problem is i have no idea how to get rid of them. Do i leave the out for the rubbish collection? or am i supposed to hire a skip? No sure if anyone would want to buy the furniture either. They are old an musty. Could anyone give me any tips please? :)

Thank you!

Here in Bristol. the council will collect 3 items for free, we have a re-use charity and the local recycling centre (amenity site) is another option if you are happy to break it down into seperate types of material ....

The Salvation Army, and several other charities, will take many furniture items to sell in their shops. It does depend on condition though. You can sometimes get the dustmen to take them away, for a suitable gratuity. Otherwise, it is cart them down the tip or get a skip.

turn into loft flooring if you have none.

Take photos and se if your local auction house will give estimates on value.

If value exceeds cost of van to get them there, do that.

Otherwise chaisaw, hammer and a skip is the cheapest. or take to local tip (in the van you hired to get the decent vbits to auction) and dump em.

Just done the same exercise - more or less broke even - usinfg combiantion of skip, van to auction, van to dump, and ebay.

If you've still got them try these, they are very grateful for all donations. There should be someone in your area.
