Where to donate a three piece suite?

Jon_01

We have a three piece suite that's just under 4 years old, came from Sofasofa in Wales that we're trying to donate.
We had BHF out this morning and they refused it as the covers aren't 'match resistant'!  (it even says that on the labels).  They tell me that no charity with take them!

I'm amazed that something this new isn't up to being donated (but I understand why). But what do I do with it now?  There's nothing wrong with it, my wife just wanted a change.

Is anyone one aware of anywhere that will take it?

(we're just outside Bristol).

Thanks

 Check your local council website. Ours does a bulky furniture collection service that they recycle to people who are moving into their first tenancy

Nowhere that's going to sell on will be able to take it, but how about Freegle, NextDoor, Gumtree, FB Local?

The problem is that if the suite is deemed to be unsafe, then it doesn't seem fair to give it away to anyone else either.

It's a shame but for peace of mind I think I'd just ask my local council to collect it and dispose of it because I couldn't, in all conscience, think of anyone else having a dangerous piece of furniture in their home.

There's usually a small fee for collection, which is sometimes waived for council tenants.

I'd also check the labels next time, just to be safe.
