Furniture, textiles or small electrical collection

Donate items in good condition

We’ve partnered with local charities to offer a convenient way to donate unwanted furniture, clothes, textiles, and small electricals.

This service is available to all households, including flats, and allows you to book a free collection on a day that suits you.

Broken or damaged items

The charities will not take broken or damaged items they cannot reuse or resell (except for TRAID who will take damaged textiles and small electricals). 

Take items in poor condition to the Household Reuse and Recycling Centre or book a bulky waste collection. 

Sue Ryder

Sue Ryder provides valuable services to those reaching the end of their life and support to those who are grieving. 

Items collected from residents will be taken to nearby Sue Ryder shops and sold to raise funds to provide ongoing support to those in need.

You can donate:

• furniture - upholstered furniture will need a fire safety label or instructions attached
• homeware
• sports equipment
• TVs, speakers, DVD and Blu-ray players
• small electrical items like kettles, toasters and kitchen appliances

Before making a booking, check which items cannot be collected by Sue Ryder. Only donate items which can be reused.

TRAID

TRAID raises money for funds and resources to reduce the environmental and social impacts of clothing. They also fund international development projects to improve conditions and working practices in the textile industry.

You can donate:

• clothes
• shoes
• bedsheets, towels and curtains - no duvets or pillows
• accessories like belts, scarves, handbags and gloves
• small electrical items like kettles, toasters, mobile phones and tablets

You can book a collection for a minimum of 1 large bag or 3 small bags of clothing. TRAID encourages residents to donate more than the minimum amount as this helps the charity to deliver a more efficient service.

Any items that are not good enough to be passed on will be recycled by TRAID. Make sure textiles are not dirty, greasy or oil-stained before donating.
