What to do if your furniture isn't suitable for re-use
If you think your unwanted furniture is not suitable for re-use, you can take it to any of our household waste recycling centres for disposal free of charge.
Alternatively your local district council will provide a bulky household waste collection service under which they will collect old furniture from your property, they may make a charge for this.
