What Furniture Do Charities Accept?

Charities typically want furniture that is:

• Clean and in good condition (no rips, stains, or damage)
• Structurally sound (no wobbly legs, broken drawers)
• Fire-safety compliant (sofas and mattresses must have fire labels)
• Free from pet hair, smoke smells, and infestations

What If My Furniture Isn't Good Enough to Donate?

If your furniture is damaged, stained, or too worn for charity shops, it still doesn't need to go to landfill. TipRun collects furniture from £50 and we recycle what we can — wood is separated, metals recovered, and fabrics processed.
