Why use it
It is free and fast. The rules around it are unusually precise: put it out no more than three hours before your slot, with the booking reference visible on the item. Breaching that is an offence under the March 2025 by-law, a 35 euro fixed fine, rather than a missed collection.
Good for
- furniture
- mattresses
- appliances
- electronics
- toys
- bicycles

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.
