Ways to make space

Roughly in the order worth trying. Most things have a better ending than a skip.

  • An armchair and a floor lamp beside a potted plant.

    01

    Give it away

    If someone nearby can use it, that's the shortest route and the best one.

  • An open cardboard box packed with folded clothes and books.

    02

    Donate it

    Charities and reuse organisations that can put it back into use.

  • A drop-off crate holding glass bottles and jars.

    03

    Recycle & drop off

    Sorted by material, so it stays out of landfill.

  • A municipal collection lorry.

    04

    Municipal collection

    City services you already pay for. Often free, usually booked.

  • A box van used for removals.

    05

    Responsible pickup

    When professional help is needed, use operators who sort properly.

We verify, so you don't have to.
