Furniture Reuse

Pass on your unwanted furniture to those who need it. There a two good schemes who deal with unwanted furniture, they are:

The Emmaus Furniture Store is a local charity that collects good, unwanted electrical goods and furniture for re-distribution.  Most of their customers are people on benefits and low incomes, however anybody is welcome to purchase furniture from the store, which why they operate a two-tier pricing system.  They will take all household furniture in a clean, tidy and reusable condition.  Soft furnishings will need to comply with Fire and Furnishing Regulations 1998 and should carry a label stating so. They will also collect electrical appliances that are in good working order.  All goods will be checked for damage and suitability and maybe rejected if in an unacceptable condition.

This project is open Monday-Friday from 9.30am to 3.30pm and Saturday from 10am-4pm. Please email furniture@emmausoxford.org or call 01865 763698 to arrange dropping off your items at the project. Furniture can be collected by the project, but it is worth noting that this is an extremely popular service and the organisation's transport gets booked up quickly.
