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?
