Ways to make space
Roughly in the order worth trying, which is the order every guide lists options in. Most things have a better ending than a skip.
-
01
Give it away
If someone nearby can use it, that's the shortest route and the best one.
-
02
Donate it
Charities and reuse organisations that can put it back into use.
-
03
Recycle & drop off
Sorted by material, so it stays out of landfill.
-
04
Municipal collection
City services you already pay for. Often free, usually booked.
-
05
Responsible pickup
When professional help is needed, use operators who sort properly.
On a guide, each item's options sit in three groups, and each option says where your thing ends up.
Who moves it
- Free collection
- Drop it off yourself
- Paid
Where it ends up
- Reused
- Recycled
- Disposed of
We verify, so you don't have to.
Methodology →Useful local options
Only places people can actually use, near where they live.
Clear disposal routes
What happens to your item at every step, qualified where we can't confirm it.
Updated regularly
Hours, fees and accepted items change. Each Spot carries its last-checked date.
Ranked on merit
Professional services pay to be listed and are vetted like everything else. The order comes from what each option is, never from payment.
Know a Spot we've missed?
Local knowledge is the whole product. Tell us about a reuse centre, a charity that collects, or a municipal rule we've got wrong. 99 options listed so far. An option that serves several cities counts once here and once in each city.
