You can donate your unwanted furniture for re-use at Sinderland Road Household Waste Recycling Centre. Please see Recycle for Greater Manchester for further information including a full list of accepted items.

Items can also be recycled at your nearest disposal site, or the following organisations may be able to help:

• Wesley Community Furniture
• Salvation Army
• Tree of Life Centre

You might not need that old sofa or wheelbarrow any more - but there might be someone just round the corner who does. Or if there's something you'd like, someone nearby might have one.
