• How much is furniture removal in York

  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 get the cheapest collection price

  Here are some tried and tested tips for bringing your collection price down. Firstly, if you're able to do so, list your furniture between Monday-Friday and select 'Anytime' for collection. This is because collectors in York are most active during the week amd more flexibility for them allows them more chances to fit your job in with their other collections. Secondly, removal teams prefer items that can be loaded quickly, so make sure your items are as easily to access as possible. Lastly, create a high quality listing. Use good photos and even a short video, write a clear, detailed description and enter a concise but attractive title. For example, 'Vintage desk great condition' sounds better than 'old desk'.

• Advice for getting furniture reused

  Reuse is great for the environment and the cheapest disposal option for you, so let's try and get your reusable furniture get picked up! Firstly, take a few good photos from different angles in good lighting (preferably daytime). Secondly, include everything a potential new owner might need to know in the description: including detailed, accurate dimensions and any damage or stains. Lastly, add a bit of a story about why you're getting rid of the furniture. Telling people you're moving abroad, making space for a new baby or redecorating, for example, makes the listing sound far more genuine and appealing.

• 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.
