Donate quality furniture and help support reuse in our area

If you have good-quality furniture you no longer need, there are plenty of ways to get rid of it. You could try selling your item online, donate it to a local charity or book a bulky pick-up with us.

But here’s the thing: most furniture we pick up gets crushed in our trucks and can't be reused. Selling online takes time and finding a local charity that needs your item isn’t always easy.

That’s why we’re trialling a reusable furniture drop-off at our Recycle It Saturday event on 24 May. We’ll match your items to local charities, ensuring they find the right home.

Desks, armchairs, dining tables, dining chair sets, TV units, chests of drawers or other pieces of pre-loved furniture in good condition can be dropped off for donation. No bookings or pre-approval needed.

With a little extra effort, you can make a big impact – helping local families in need and keeping furniture out of landfill.

How to donate

• Check your items are accepted. We only take assembled furniture in great condition that can be safely lifted by 2 people. No furniture containing glass.
• Drop it off at Recycle It Saturday on 24 May, 9am to 3pm, at Alexandra Canal Depot.
• Our team and charities will check for quality on the day. You’ll need to take items home that aren’t accepted. Not sure if your items suit? Email photos and details to recyclingprograms@cityofsydney.nsw.gov.au and we’ll get back to you within 3 business days.

Give your unwanted furniture a good home.
