Free Recycling of Household Goods

Many people may have old sofas/furniture/beds/rowing machines etc that are still usable.  Rather than pay for them to be disposed of at dumps, they could be given away for free. 

Websites now exist which offer items for free – and the person receiving the your unwanted household goods simply has to pick them up.

You could always advertise items in local papers, local shops etc. or even contact your local charity shop (although they generally do not take electrical items).
