Rataplan kringloopwinkel Amsterdam

A second-hand chain with two Amsterdam shops that will collect from your home free, above a threshold: ten bags or boxes, or one piece of furniture over 25 kilos.

Right for you if

  • A house clear-out big enough to be worth a van, or anything heavy and still good.
  • It has to cost nothing.
  • You cannot move it yourself. They come and collect.
  • You can get it there under your own steam.
  • You would rather it was used again than buried.

Look elsewhere if

  • It is broken, dirty or missing parts.
  • It is more than a household quantity.
  • You need it gone today.

Why use it

The threshold is the part worth knowing before you ring. Ten bags or boxes, or a single furniture item of at least 25 kilos, and they will come to you at no charge. Below that you bring it to the donation desk, which closes earlier than the shop does, so check the time rather than the opening hours. Ground floor, or an upper floor only if there is a lift the goods actually fit into. Stadspas holders get a quarter off, capped at a fifty euro purchase.

Where your things go

A named destination is worth more than a stated intention, and both are worth more than silence. This is the row to read before you book: if your item's row is empty, ask them on the phone and tell us what they say.

Does it actually work

The part no company website tells you. Some of this comes from our checks, some from readers who used the service, and where nobody has told us yet, it says so.

Not a review score. 14 observable signals, each met only where the operator's own pages state it, and each linking to the page it was read from. Blanks are gaps in what they publish, not accusations. How the Index works →

The evidence behind it

14 signals checked against 3 pages on 20 August 2026. The Index measures what an operator publishes about itself. It cannot be bought, verification does not raise it, and it never touches the order Spots are listed in.

What happens to it

  • Donated to an organisation that will use it
  • Put back into use

This describes the route the item takes, as the operator states it. We do not claim a recovery rate we have not seen evidence for.

What readers told us

Used them recently?

How long you waited, what they refused, whether anyone picked up the phone. Those are the three facts no website publishes and the ones the next reader needs.
