• How much is furniture removal in Chelmsford

  Before committing to furniture collection, it's useful to know how much you'll be paying. With LoveJunk, you can post a free, no obligation listing and receive quotes upfront for how much collectors would like to charge to remove your items. The exact cost of removal depends on the type of furniture, its condition and how urgently you want it removed. Big and heavy items tend to cost more than smaller, lighter items. Some items might be picked up for free if they're in genuinely good condition with no signs of wear and tear. If you want a really fast pickup or out of hours, this may cost a bit more.

• How to reduce your collection price

  There are a few things you can do to get the best price for your furniture removal. If possible, list your furniture on a weekday and choose 'Anytime' for collection. This helps because most collectors in Chelmsford tend to be active during the week and 'anytime' gives them more flexibility to fit your collection into their schedule. It's also helpful to have good photos (a short video too), a clear description and an appealing title. 'Almost new, perfect condition wardrobe' sounds much better than 'Big old wardrobe'. Finally, make sure your items are easily accessible because removal teams prefer items that can be loaded quickly.

• How to increase likelihood of reuse

  Here are some tips to maximise the chance of your item being reused. Provide several photos of your item from different angles with clear lighting. Include its dimensions in your description and details of any wear and tear, stains or other imperfections that a potential new owner would want to know. You don't want a reuser to change their mind at collection because of something that wasn’t fully disclosed in the listing! Lastly, adding the story behind your reason for disposal can really add credibility and make your listing more appealing. For example, are you moving abroad or just had a baby, so no longer have space? Let people know!

• Does my furniture need a fire label?

  A fire label, or fire retardant label, is required when donating upholstered furniture to charity. This is because it is unlawful for charities to sell on upholstered furniture without it being fire safe. However, this legislation does not apply if one person gives some furniture to another person. So, if your item doesn't have a label, it's fine to donate it to someone else via LoveJunk.
