Donating items
If you would like to donate any items to the Refurb, you can Bedeither drop them off at Premises or call us to arrange for one of our vans to come and collect from you within the Wyre & Fylde Fridgearea.

We accept donations of furniture, domestic appliances, household goods and bric-a-brack from individuals and companies.

We can only take items that are in a reasonable condition and we cannot accept gas appliances. If you have soft furnishings to donate please first check to see if the item has a 1988 Fire Retardant Fabrics regulation tag- usually on sofas and armchairs this can be found under the cushions or on the underside. We cannot take soft furnishings without this tag as the law prohibits the sale of non fire retardant soft furnishings.

If you have bulky items that we cannot take then your local council can dispose of them for you- details of how to contact your council can be found on our links page. Some councils may charge for this service.



Refurb appreciates any donations that help us carry out our work, however big or small.
