| Post subject: | Disposal of furniture |
I have several items of furniture I need to get rid of ( 2 sofas and a matress ) so I phoned the council yesterday to arrange collection. I don't have a problem with the £15 fee, but Im not happy with the fact that I have to physically move the items myself because I cant. Thats the whole point of me asking the council in the first place. Apparently whoever is responsible for collecting these items is not allowed inside my property, despite the fact I have given my permission to do so. When I explained why I was physically unable to move the items myself, I was told that since Im not over 65 years of age or officially registered as disabled, I should seek help elswhere....ie: neighbours. Thanks LBH |

What about advertising them on freegle? I just advertised a fridge freezer and a display cabinet on there for a friend and they are being collected on Friday ( no charge) |

They wanted good quality with the fire stickers/labels in place. I assured them the stuff complied but they seemed apathetic and never turned up. I paid my £19 and got the council to collect. I'm sure it was £19 |

Thanks for the replies all. Thing is these are items that need disposing of, not suitable for charity shops etc. |
