"If you arrange it with the council that you need them collecting, you can arrange a slot at the local recycling centre. And you can pay the fee for having them disposed of and taken there. That way, all you need to arrange is the labour to collect it and drop it off, and I’d say that is around £150 in time. But please remember to value someone’s quote; if you’re not prepared to put time and effort into finding out how to do it correctly, then accept a high quote but ask for proof that it’s been disposed of the way they said before paying."

"This depends on a few factors. Access in and out of the property, the ability to park the van closely, if the furniture has electrics or heavy metal parts and if they can be dismantled- average cost I would be quoting around £300 taking access, ability to load and weight in to consideration"
