Sofa recycling questions

Can my sofa be reused? Yes, absolutely! More than 1 in 3 are. If your sofa is clean and in good condition, select ‘Reusable’ in your listing and make sure to take some nice clear photos (ideally showing the fire safety label). Then collectors and reuse charities can make a proper assessment.

How much will it cost? A sofa collection tends to cost £10-£30 if it is good condition and is reused. If the sofa is worn, damaged or stained (and no reusers are interested) then you should expect to pay £40-£100. This price is driven by recent changes in POP legislation that require upholstered furniture to be disposed of in a certain way. Exact price depends on time of pickup, ease of collection, geographic location, and size and weight of sofa. To see recent examples browse our gallery of previous sofa removal jobs here.
