Accordingly they will not take any used furniture which is not in perfect condition. Just had to throw out three pieces of very usable furniture that many not so well off families would have been delighted to have because I couldn't find a "charity" who would take them. What a sad commentary!
You know, perhaps you might have called Bargains and Treasures. They take furniture in good condition and sell it for you. You could then use the money for anything you like including charity.
