Networks to look up

Fortunately, in London, almost every borough contains a recycling center. You can find them easily enough by looking up your local civic amenity center. Some of these areas also allow you to leave stuff you no longer use for others to find and pick up.

In case you are looking for or selling your furniture online, you can do that on Gumtree or eBay. The buyer will collect it from your home without you having to transport it anywhere. If you use Freecycle or Freegle you can donate your stuff for free

Upcycling is when you enhance the creativity of an item to give it a new life. You can always consider upcycling your furniture, perhaps by changing the polish, to giving it a new colored upholstery to give it a new life.
