AEG Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 Hey ED folks, Any idea how we can get rid of an old sofa? Can we arrange a collection from the council or is that a silly question?Any advice would be much appreciated.Thanks,Amy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beansprout Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 If you are asking for money, make sure it has current legislation - no charity will take it if not!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs D Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 If in ok condition, see if the British heart foundation want to pick it up for one of their shops? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bloodoranges Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 They only take sofas with those fire labels on though at BHF - Best bet is putting it free on here or freecycle! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AEG Posted November 9, 2018 Author Share Posted November 9, 2018 Thanks all very helpful indeed - we've had some interest on Gumtree! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d.b Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 These things can be very awkward to get rid of, I suggest you chop it up and dispose of it on a bonfire, maybe on an allotment at 4am... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
