What about unused furniture ?

What to do with furniture or other effects that you do not want to keep.

You can, of course, sell them, but if you want to donate them, how can you do that?

You have furniture that is in good condition but for many reasons is no longer suitable for you. In order not to leave it in front of your building, do you know that community organizations will be able to make good use of it.

• There are organizations that sell items for the purpose of providing services with the money collected (e.g., food aid). Some of them may need your furniture if they are, of course, in good condition.
• There are organizations that give back the furniture and other goods collected to those in need.
• There are also organizations for recycling, recovery and reclamation of used items. In this case, depending on their condition, your used furniture can be repaired and refurbished to give it a second life.

But how can we get them this furniture to these organizations?

• Several organizations have implemented a home collection system that will make it easier for you.
• There are also many drop-off or pick-up points, but it is necessary to check the types of items accepted for each of them.

However, some items are generally not accepted or very rarely accepted such as mattresses, pianos, etc.

You should also know that there are certain structures that can help you get rid of your old pianos properly.
