Fully endorse using Emmaus - most of my mother's furniture went to them and as the previous poster said, they collect and you know it is going to be put to good use. Also used Freecycle for other bits and pieces - so much better than the tip!

Emmaus, a charitable movement, was founded in France and although now international, the majority of its outlets continue to be found in France – in most big towns.
Started in 1949 by Priest Abb! Pierre, the intention was to help combat poverty and homelessness and that is very much the principle that remains at the heart of this amazing organisation.
The name Emmaus comes from a biblical story, it was a town in which Jesus was seen to be resurrected by witnesses according to the Gospel of Luke, thereby offering hope. Abb! Pierre saw the Emmaus community as helping people regain hope for the future, and although it sounds biblical Emmaus is not a religious organisation – the name is symbolic of hope.
Emmaus help people who are homeless, in poverty and socially excluded to use and develop their skills to help make changes for the better in their lives and communities.
This is done through taking part in charitable projects, renovating and restoring furniture and home products and many other ways but what they are best known for is their shops.
