What Is Furniture Disposal?
Furniture disposal is the process of getting rid of unwanted or old furniture in a safe and responsible way. It is an essential service that can benefit homeowners, renters, and business owners alike. When you no longer have a use for furniture in your home or office, disposing of it properly can be a challenge. Leaving your unwanted furniture outside your premises is illegal and it poses health & safety risks.
There are many reasons why you might need furniture disposal services.
- Decluttering before moving
- Tenant changeover
- Estate clearing
- Renovation
- Health and safety issues
- Old or damaged furniture
- Death of a person
Disposing of furniture on your own can be difficult and time-consuming. Furniture can be heavy and awkward to move, and it can be challenging to find the right place to dispose of it. You may also need to disassemble the furniture before disposing of it, which can add to the difficulty of the process.
This is why professional furniture disposal services are often the best option. If you choose to use Movivan, we will bring a few important things with us:
- Big enough vans
- Experience and efficiency
- Tools to dismantle large items
- Protection supplies for your home or office

Julia Stafford2024-01-17Ask for Marios and Loco. Really nice guys. Both worked very hard and consistently. They were also very kind when our young children thought they were “helping” but probably getting in the way. House moves are horrible and stressful. Having genuinely nice people makes a big difference.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

RebeccaJasmin Hillier2024-01-08I am extremely impressed by the service we received. Quick and careful. The team picked up items from an unorganised storage, put them all nicely inside a van, carried them up a 3rd floor flat, without a lift. Hassle free and quick. Thank you so much to the team: MARIOS, ASEN & GEORGI. You guys made this move, completely stress-free!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
jaqui ross2023-12-31Fantastic service. We used the full pack and move from LondontoGlasgow. Everything was bubble wrapped and packed with care. They even took all the pictures etc off the walls. Great communication from the staff. Someone visited to assess before the very reasonable quote. He was so lovely and patient with my elderly mum. The movers let us know when they would arrive so we could be there, and they unpacked and put everything in the correct rooms. All we had to do was move the clothes out the wardrobe box into the actual wardrobe and unpack the kitchen boxes. They even brought a few items that hadn't been quoted for. Great service, highly recommend 👌Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
Martina Allan2023-12-16I can't praise these guys enough! We had a four bedroomed house to move. An army of men came and packed on the Monday and by 10.30am on Tuesday, the whole house, garden, garage, and contents of two sheds was loaded into 4 vans and enroute to our new home by the south coast. By 4.30pm everything was unloaded and beds and furniture reassembled. The guys worked hard and were very respectful from start to finish. They were also competitive with their price and we got a discount as chose to return the boxes to be reused. Nothing was too much trouble for these guys, we would absolutely recommend them! Very happy customer. ☺️Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
Patrick Joseph2023-12-05It was my first experience using removal company and very worried with the cost, i had about 10 company response with high cost which i can not afford, Movivan called me with great authority and willing to take a challenge what i was wanted to listen from the company, he assured me of every possible difficulties to be taken care of, I told him about the load of 3 bedroom stuff and family of 5 belongings, he came up with all the assurance and quote me unbelievable less than half the cost of the others minimum quote, this was cheapest, half the cost of minimum from all other company. The guys who came for removal were so nice and willing to do more than what i asked, I have no personal interest with this company, and was my first time with them.I can praise them highly and can recommend them from top of my heart, you can not go wrong with them.just try them once and you will be giving them same review as mine.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Giuse Pucino2023-11-16Used Movivan for our move from Herts to South Cambs - they were fantastic. Our entire life was in 2 storage containers, they sorted and loaded their vans with expert precision and when it came to unloading they were just as efficient. I would definitely recommend.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
Ivanna C.2023-10-09I can’t say enough good things about this company. From the quote to completion. Miro was my contact person through the whole thing, he was kind, professional and most importantly worked with my needs. I had a tiny bit of a complicated move they handled it like stars, even getting everything done before the initial timeframes we discussed!! The guys who packed our things and physically moved everything we’re things of LEGEND. Not one thing was broken and I have more bar glasses then I’d like to admit. I honestly just can’t say enough about them. Everyone I interacted with was so pleasant and professional. Thank you Miro and Movivan for making this stressful time as stress free as possible!!!! I highly recommend you use this company for any removal needs!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Why Choosing Movivan For Your Furniture Disposal?
Choosing Movivan for your furniture disposal ensures efficient and eco-friendly removal, with a commitment to recycling and donating items whenever possible. Their professional team provides reliable service, handling all aspects of the disposal process with care and expertise.
How Much Will Cost?
Pricing for furniture disposal services can vary greatly depending on a number of factors. There are some common factors that typically affect the cost:
- Volume/Weight: We will charge based on the weight of the furniture to be disposed of. Larger or heavier items will generally cost more to dispose of than smaller, lighter ones. Once we go to the recycling center they will measure the van with the weight on and they will measure the van empty. The difference will be the amount to be paid.
- Labor: The second most important price which we calculate and charge is the duration of our service. Our hourly rates start from £65.00 per hour with a minimum charge of 4 hours.
- Travel Distance: The cost may also depend on how far we need to travel to pick up and dispose of the furniture.
- Special Services: Additional services, like same-day pickup, after-hours pickup, or special handling for delicate or antique items, may also increase the cost.
What We Do Not Collect?
Chemicals
Perishables

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you get rid of furniture without a fire label in the UK?
In the UK, it is illegal to sell or donate furniture without a fire label. However, you can dispose of it at your local recycling center or through a waste disposal service.
Must Furniture Be Emptied Before Collection?
Yes, furniture like wardrobes, bookcases, or cabinets must be emptied by the customer before we come for collection. This ensures that the furniture is lighter and easier to handle, reducing the risk of damage during transportation. Removing items from furniture like drawers and cabinets also prevents them from shifting or getting damaged in transit. Emptying the furniture on your behalf is something we can do, but please note that there may be an additional charge associated with this service.
