• Tips for getting the best collection price

  Three tips to help bring down the cost of your furniture removal. 1) List your furniture on a weekday and choose 'Anytime' as the collection time. More collectors are active during the week and 'anytime' provides them maximum pickup flexibility. 2) Make sure your items are presented at their best. This means take good pictures and, if you are using the LoveJunk app, a short video. Make sure you enter a detailed description, and write an appealing title. For example, it sounds better to say 'Lovely, almost new desk' as opposed to 'desk'. 3) The last tip is to make sure your items are as near to the road as possible because this will save removal teams time when loading.

• Improve chances of reuse

  A new home is the ideal destination for your furniture if it is still in great shape. Here are some tips to improve the chances of your furniture being reused. First, make your listing as appealing, descriptive and accurate as possible. This means taking plenty of pictures from different angles in good lighting, and writing a clear description with detailed dimensions and any imperfections. You don't want a potential new owner to change their mind about taking your sofa because they didn't know about the big stain on the cushion! Another tip is to provide a bit of background: why are you getting rid of it? These extra details make your listing more trustworthy and appealing.

• 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.
