Responsible Sofa Disposal

Once we collect your unwanted sofa, it is transported to an appropriately licensed waste facility for responsible handling and disposal. Some upholstered sofas and furniture may contain Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs), which require specialist treatment and cannot be sent to landfill or processed through normal recycling.

We ensure sofas are handled in line with current waste regulations, with POPs-containing furniture sent for the appropriate authorised disposal. Where materials can be recovered or recycled safely, we aim to do so, helping to reduce unnecessary waste and minimise landfill.
