Loiseau Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Lots of trips to the dump, and to Emmaüs in my experience. Try and give away/sell what you can to friends and neighbours first.Do your buyers want to purchase any choice items? Mine took a few, though paid peanuts.

Patf Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 We sold some things on Leboncoin.One friend bought a lot, eg wood van diy stuff. I didn't have much luck with Emmaus, though they had been helpful in the past. We gave most of the sitting room furniture to friends in the village, they were happy as theirs was falling apart.We ended up leaving a lot behind, our buyers didn't seem to mind.

betise Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 Some house clearing firms will do it for free, providing that you have enough tempting furniture to make it worth their while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Judith Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 Why, Pat? They have Emmaus in England, very useful one just north of Cambridge when we were clearing my father's house! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
