    Dont want to sound like a stick in the mud, but i tend to agree with Ed'lass, I'm not 100% sure if they still do it, but i know some councils, social services etc used to collect any good condition furniture etc for recycling to families without and domestic violence victims setting up new homes, worth a try calling them to see if you want to help someone out and need to get rid of stuff asap :)

    Some council services still do this, but if not the Yellow Pages can help. I wanted to get rid of a cabin bed my daughter had grown out of and, after phoning a couple of places in the Yellow Pages, I found an organisation that came to pick it up. I had to dismantle it first but as i'd put it up in the first place it was no problem.

    I know we're talking about recycling/ giving stuff away, but I often put a free advertisement in one of the local newspaper through their online site and re-sell my unwanted stuff. I don't ask for much and get rid of my clutter.

    The only concern I have with a recycling/ exchange forum is what about the possible pick up/ delivery costs and problems that may be encountered?
