House / Bedroom Clearout

thesaturdayman

Hi all, wondering if any one can help, we are kind of renovating the house, clearing out a bit of old furniture, single beds, presses, few chairs and a couch nothing too hectic, a lot of it is quite dated now, for eg. i slept in the bed almost 20 years ago, condition of the furniture isnt bad at all been no one near them in recent times, have no problem firing them out into the dump but said I would put it up here if anyone is interested in taking them free gratis? ideally would rather give them to a charity or someone who has a need for them and doesnt intend on trying to make a quick buck?

As much as I like the charity warehouse people must understand that they are a private (read: profit making) company who donate a percentage of their profits to a selected charity sorry to be all Groucho on this but I would opt for someone like the simon

Do you know what percentage they donate?


Years ago I would buy certain Christmas cards every year because money was being donated to a particular charity. I found out later on they were donating only 1p per pack of cards.
