How can I dispose of unwanted furniture in London?

You can dispose of unwanted furniture in London through a reuse charity if it is sound, your borough's bulky-waste collection if you are a resident, or a licensed waste carrier if you are a business or want it gone this week. Desks, tables and shelving are recycled by material; upholstered items are different, because sofas and padded chairs must be incinerated under the POPs rules and cost more per item. Boroughs charge per item, book a week or two out, and do not take furniture from a business. A bulky collection or a wait and load visit clears an office in one go, with a waste transfer note, and reusable pieces go to a specialist partner where we can.
