About JunkSpots

JunkSpots exists to answer one practical question: what should I do with this thing I no longer need?

The honest answer is usually local and slightly annoying to find out. Your council probably collects bulky items for free, but only on certain days and only if you book. Somewhere nearby will take a working washing machine and give it to a family that needs one. The old TV has its own route and it is not the bin. None of this is secret. It is just scattered across council pages, charity sites and forum threads, and nobody has time to assemble it while standing next to a sofa.

So we assemble it, city by city, and keep it current.

What this is not

Not a junk-removal directory, and not an eco-directory either. Removal companies are one option among several, and often the last one worth trying. Environmental framing here shows up as accurate information and a sensible order of options, rather than as a badge.

Local depth over coverage

We would rather have one city that is genuinely useful than forty that are thin. Guides launch one at a time, after the local research is done and the facts have sources behind them.
