Re: Easy or Expensive?
Many charities will take second hand electrical goods, but many also don't. Easy way to check is to see if they are selling any. This is because smaller ones tend to need someone in house to do it, larger ones often get sent to sorting warehouses.
None will take furniture without fire safety labels.
Many think charity shops are a place to dump broken and useless items. My mum used to work in a charity shop for the local hospital and you'd get soiled clothes, including underwear, smashed crockery, toys with parts missing and other useless junk, all because people think they can somehow sell it, or can't be bothered to go to the tip and like to pretend they are doing good.
