Removal of old sofa
Options

Posts: 4 Newbie

Hi. Are there any retailers that will take away your old sofa bed if you purchase a new one from them? I know several retailers do this with TVs and large appliances but what about furniture? Failing that, what are my options to have my old sofa removed? I live in London, paying a fee is OK but not extortionate. I have looked into donating it but charities won't touch it as the sofa bed doesn't have the fire safety tag anymore. Thanks everyone!

Put it on Freecycle, it'll be gone in a shot!

Or contact your local radio station, see if they have any links with anyone who picks up furniture for people who cannot afford their own.What is this life if, full of care, we have no time to stand and stare0

If you just want it disposed of one option is to contact your local council, they will probably have a bulky goods waste collection service. Ours took away our old bed and mattress for about £10, and said this all counted as one item so would have taken another item at the same time as well included in the price.0

If it is still useful, you can always donate it to your local furniture project, usually run by your local councilGrowing old disgracefully!0

Yes, your local council is easy - but sometimes they have a 14day "booking" period (like Tower Hamlets do)
Freecycle is a gem.
Both of these can be sorted out online.0
