• How to get the best collection price

  If you have the flexibility, list your furniture on a weekday and choose ‘Anytime’ as your collection date. Weekdays are when most collectors in Kensington and Chelsea tend to be active and ‘anytime’ offers them the most opportunity to fit your collection into their routes. Make sure your listing has good photos (ideally with a short video), a clear description and as attractive a title as possible. For example, ‘Old sofa’ is unlikely to get as much interest as ‘Lovely, almost new sofa’. Lastly, make the junk as easily accessible as you can. Removal teams much prefer things that can be loaded quickly.

• 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.

• Do I need a fire label?

  A fire retardant label is only required with upholstered furniture if you wish to donate it to a charity. This is because the law prevents charities from reselling upholstered furniture without a fire label attached. However, there is no requirement for furniture to have a fire label if you give it directly to another individual.
