• How much is furniture removal in Glasgow

  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 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 Glasgow 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.

• 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.

• 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!
