• How much is furniture removal in Edinburgh

  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.

• Getting the best collection price

  Here are some tips for getting the best quotes from collectors, and the good news is that they're very easy! First, make sure your listing is as attractive as possible. This means good photos (maybe a short video), a clear description and an appealing title: 'Lovely almost new Sofa' sounds a lot nicer than 'old, unwanted sofa'. Second, make your items as accessible as possible. Collectors prefer items that can be loaded quickly and easily. Lastly, (where possible) list your item between Monday-Friday and choose 'Anytime' for your collection time. This helps removal teams fit your job into their schedule more easily and they are most active during the week.

• Top tips for reuse

  There are a few simple things you can do to increase the chances of somebody reusing your furniture. 1) Take good quality, well-lit photos from a few angles. 2) In your description, make sure you provide accurate dimensions and don't forget to disclose any wear and tear, stains or imperfections. People have a right to change their mind if they find out the item is different to the listing - so avoid this scenario! 3) Provide a little story about why you're getting rid of the item. Are you redecorating? Moving abroad? Extra details make the listing more appealing and trustworthy to potential reusers.

• What if I don't have a fire label?

  If you donate upholstered furniture to a charity, a fire retardant label is required by law. Charities are prohibited from reselling any upholstered furniture that does not have a fire label attached. However, if you plan to give the furniture directly to an individual, there is no legal requirement for it to have a fire label.
