There may be many occasions or reasons to get rid of some of the furniture at home. You may have gone the feng shui way and want to minimize the objects in your house. You may have a problem with clutter and you want to reduce the number of items you can store things in or on. You may have new furniture coming along and you want to make space for them as soon as possible. Or then again, you may just be sick of looking at all those old relics and you want to get rid of them.
Either way, there are multiple courses of action you can take:
- you could call a rubbish removal service
- you could arrange a garage or yard sale to earn money, but waste time and effort, or
- you could simply call one of the charitable old furniture collection services below and save yourself both the effort and money.
If you pick the latter, here are some options which you might find appealing. It is always a good idea to donate as something reused will always be a step ahead of something thrown to the landfill. At the very least, you will know that the items you donate will go to good use instead of winding up at some old warehouse to be overpriced and resold to submissive buyers. Using the options below you will know what you are donating your furniture for.
This hospice is responsible for the care of many people in need. It has private rooms with en-suite facilities and provides support groups for many patients. It has courses, carers, patients, and even provides help at the home of those in need. Donating here will mean furnishing the facilities with refreshing furniture which will come in use as the hospice keeps evolving and provides care for more and more people.
Your help will be of big importance to the many people there, whether they are patients or carers. Any unwanted furniture removal from your home will mean wanted furniture gain for the hospice and the price will be a sum total of zero.
This little company provides hospices and neurological care centres to many people. Every penny spent here will go to providing those hospices and centres with trained nurses and carers, and help them with the acquiring of more equipment. And you do not even need to spend a single penny. All that is needed of you is to pick something you no longer want in your house and instead of throwing it away, call over their free collection service that will deal with it for you.
It is a win-win situation that much more people than you imagine will benefit from. Tables, chairs, sofas, TVs, garden furniture, wardrobes, and others will all be greatly appreciated by every member of the staff and they will gladly take them off your hands.
This little foundation takes a little different approach. It still provides a free collection, but instead of storing or using the items you send, they auction them on online stores or at charity shops in order to raise money for the care of many patients. The foundation bets on the future of medicine and healthcare, it gathers funds for more research and development and more cutting edge technology that will one day make a huge difference in healthcare.
Contributing to their cause will mean contributing to the future of patient care and medicine. It is a bit on the long-term side, but if it has a shadow of a slim chance of making a difference, then why not help out? Any second hand furniture pick up will add to their cause and you will be part of the future.
Is it all worth it?
Any time the words ‘charity’ and ‘donations’ pop up people suddenly get protective of their pockets. Being stingy is not really a bad thing if you do not want to part with possessions or money you actually need. This, however, is not the case. What these foundations and companies are asking of you is exactly the opposite – throw over to them things you will never need again. Where is the harm or what is the negative side of parting with something useless to you? It is literally the same as dumping something into the rubbish bin, the upside being that somebody will be able to actually use what you now consider rubbish.
Win – Win
Think of it like this, every single piece of furniture you do not need somebody will use to make the world a better place. Whether you care about that or not is irrelevant, you still lose nothing in the process. There is no down side to donating when in need of used furniture disposal services.
One phone call to a free service may mean nothing to you, but somebody, somewhere will benefit in a positive and healthy, rather than wealthy kind of way. These companies do not bet on your charitable character, that is a bonus – what they want is rather to make use of the free clearance they provide and save yourself the money and effort. It is a situation where nobody loses, is it not?
Charity is here to make people’s lives better. You can participate or ignore it, but at least do yourself one good and make use of the free collection these charities provide. There is really no need to leave the house or do any effort – their collectors will do all the work and the foundations will do all the afterwork. All that is required of you is to pick up the phone and make one phone call to either one of these companies. Help yourself to a free service and at the same time provide a better tomorrow for someone out there. It is your choice to make, so be sensible about it.
If none of your furniture items are good for donation or charity, book our old furniture collection London and we will take your items for a small fee.
