Environment Rubbish, waste and recycling
Are you getting rid of your unwanted furniture? Is it in good condition? Could someone else reuse it?
If your answer is yes to all 3, then think about getting in touch with your local furniture reuse project:
- Glossopdale Furniture Project covers the High Peak area
- SALCARE Furniture Project covers Amber Valley and Erewash area
- YMCA Happy Homes covers South Derbyshire
Find out more about each of the projects then give them a ring and let them breathe life into your old stuff!
Repair cafes
Instead of throwing furniture away, why not bring it to one of the repair cafes across the county to see if someone can fix it for you?

If your furniture isn't suitable for reuse

Or your local district council will provide a bulky household waste collection service and will collect old furniture from your property. They may charge for this.
