  • Facebook local buy and sell groups
    Ebay, Gumtree etc
    Car boot sales

    Anything you struggle to sell you could just giveaway to charity shops.
  • I find the facebook marketplace option the easiest, if you price items right its generally quick a quick process and state in the ad 'collection only'

    Downsided our 'stuff' and furniture in the Autumn before a relocation:

    Local Facebook buy/sell groups are best. You do get a lot of time-wasters who don't show up but stuff does go pretty quickly (especially if you do it free/cheap).

    I wouldn't bother with eBay personally - everyone seems to be on Facebook these days.

    Car boot sale if you have a load of household stuff - quick way to get rid of loads. Just don't over-price stuff. You get peanuts for each item but can make a couple of hundred quid selling a car-full.

    Google for charity shops in your area that do furniture collections. For stuff you can get in your car, look for charity shops with decent 'drop off' points (i.e. you can park outside!).
