Will the council collect my sofa? <\/h2>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>
\n

One of the most popular choices for sofa removal is your local council as they are able to come to your property and take it away without you having to worry about transporting the bulky furniture. However, it\u2019s worth noting that councils will also ask you to put your sofa outside your property ready for the collection which means having to find a way to carry it from your home.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Most local councils provide a sofa collection service, and this can cost anywhere between \u00a323 to \u00a363, depending on the size of your sofa and your location. Availability is on a first-come, first-served basis and collection dates are dependent on demand, but typically you can expect to wait anywhere between two and four weeks for an available slot.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

You can find out whether your council offers furniture removal services <\/span>via the Gov.uk website<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div><\/section>

Some charities will be more than happy to take your old sofa in order to sell on and raise money. However, to do this, your sofa must be in good condition and clean. Therefore, before donating, consider giving your sofa a deep clean to remove any marks, stains or crumbs that may have accumulated over the years.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
