The Stables just off Bl;ackburn road will do I believe they pass them onto people who need one for a small charge which helps run teh service. I think its something to do with Maundy grange?

If it's a charity they only take them if they have the fire safety labels on !!

You never know someone on here may take it off your hands, stick it in the buy, sell swap section.

No but they will not take a sofa that hasn't got BS safety tags or reference on it for H&S reasons!!

dont really wanna stick in the buy sell or swap bit as its about 5 years old and has seen better days...and I am not really sure someone would want it...and they would have to collect
if anyone wants to see a pic pm me and I will sort it out tonight....

B,S&S works wonders for me - I managed to find homes for all my old furniture. You could even offer it 'free to a good home, collection required'.

Hyndburn used furniture store will collect it from you if it has the fire labels attached, they took one from me the same day I rang them. Phone

01254 383784.

Its not like you want any money for it you've already said free to good home

If you just need rid, I believe the council will collect it for you for free.

glasgow guy · 24-02-2007, 15:01

just to let you all know - as I am sure your wondering how I got on...yeah right...!!...- that I got rid of said suite..maundy grange were too full and hyndburn used furniture couldnt uplift till next week..so I swapped it for 6 eggs !...
seriously...got talking to a farmer in preston who was saying how he needed a new suite...I said he could have mine...and when he mentioned how much I said he can take it...he then said he had to give me something so I said give me 6 of your fresh eggs...so he did...turned up this morn with 6 eggs and a van to take away old suite...he's happy he got a good suite....and I got 6 fresh free farm eggs !!
doing well... so far this week I have gave away a washing machine, tumble dryer and a 3 piece suite !...for free...good to know someones chuffed with their lot and making use of them..
