    We have 20 boxes of books, and there’s a charity that will take them. Cost of transport to the charity  is £100. 

    Or, the council will collect them as a bulky refuse collection for £50 less.

    Would the charity prefer the books or a £50 donation?  I suspect that they would prefer the money. 
    We took our books to an oxfam bookstore. We carried 8 full bags for life. Two trips from the car park. They were grateful and made £170 from our books. I think they will collect if you contact them. 
    We’ve already been spurned by Oxfam. :)
    No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?
