Furniture donation or
collection
The St Vincent's Centre is a charity donation and collection centre for unwanted furniture and household items, which are reused or resold.
Items donated to St Vincent's are either redistributed to those in need by referral process, as part of St Vincent de Paul Society, England and Wales (SVP). Furniture sold by our charity also funds the continuation of this service. We take various items and we request that your donations are in good enough condition to repurpose, fire labels are intact if applicable and/or there is scope to refurbish the items. We are currently accepting the following items:
- Sofas / Armchairs / Suites
- Beds
- Wardrobes / Chests of drawers
- Small electrical items such as lamps, kettles, microwaves
- Dining tables / dining furniture
For items we cannot take, we recommend you try rubbish removal & reuse marketplace, LoveJunk. LoveJunk is free to use and helps you find an alternative reuse solution or, if none are available, a competitively priced, licensed waste collector. Enter referral code SVP2024 when booking if you do, so Love Junk can see you came from us and will make a small donation.
We offer a free collection service for residents in the Leeds area.
Our furniture donations are either recycled and given free of charge back to the most vulnerable people and families or sold in our shop for low cost to further directly fund our services.
To book your free collection, please submit an online collection enquiry below. To be able to accept and pass on your items please ensure:
- Your items are in in good condition, complete and work correctly and each individual upholstered item has a fire label attached and complies with the 1988 fire regulations with a legible batch number
- All furniture items containing glass show the British safety glass kite mark
- Attach a photo of the furniture (If a photo isn't provided the driver may refuse to collect if not deemed a suitable condition)
Please note, drivers will not accept items that are ripped, stained or damaged.
Rejected collections/deliveries are charged at £35 directly to the charity.
