• Newcastle Furniture Removal cost

  The cost of furniture collection in Newcastle varies depending on the type of furniture, its condition, and the preferred collection time. Larger and heavier furniture items are typically more expensive to remove, while smaller and lighter items are cheaper. If your furniture is in good condition with no stains or wear and tear, you may even be able to have it collected for free. The best way to determine the cost of furniture removal is by creating a listing and receiving quotes. It's free and there's no obligation to commit, so you can cancel anytime if you're just checking prices.

• 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 Newcastle 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.

• 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!

• Is a fire label needed?

  When you donate upholstered furniture to charity, you need a fire label. For health and safety reasons, charities are not legally allowed to resell upholstered furniture without a fire retardant label. However, you do not need a fire label when you as an individual give furniture directly to another individual. So not to worry if there isn't one to be found!
