Moving furniture can be both a hassle and expensive.
Those downsizing might not have room for all their furniture at their new house, while those moving into a bigger home often look to splash on some flash new furniture.
Therefore, many people decide to donate some of their unwanted furniture to charity before making a move.
If you have furniture which you no longer want before moving – that is still in good condition – many charities will happily accept it.
But how exactly do you get it to them?
Here are the easiest ways.
