Furniture collection Chichester
We collect unwanted furniture from any room, dismantle it if needed, and make sure sofas and armchairs are disposed of under the current rules.
Furniture collection in Chichester is one of our most common jobs. Chichester is about twenty miles west of our Worthing base along the A27, around forty minutes by road, so we book Chichester work in planned slots. We collect sofas, beds, mattresses, wardrobes and more from homes and flats across Chichester city centre, Summersdale, Parklands, Whyke and Donnington.
We carry furniture out of any room in Chichester homes, dismantle it where necessary, and make sure sofas and armchairs are disposed of correctly under the POPs rules.
Fantastic service I highly recommend them, took a shed down yesterday rang them last night they were here first thing this morning to take it away along with other garden waste. Highly competitive rates but they don't cut corners. They swept and tidied up after themselves as well, I'll definitely use A Star in all my future jobs. Thank you.
Mandy Harris, Facebook review
We collect sofas, armchairs, beds, mattresses, wardrobes, chests of drawers, dining tables and chairs, desks, bookcases and garden furniture, from single items to a whole house full. Several of our customers first contacted us about one sofa and ended up clearing half the garage too, because it was easier to do it all at once.

Local knowledge
Every town has its own quirks. These are the things that shape furniture collection jobs in Chichester.
The city centre has flats above shops and in converted period buildings, and there are modern apartment blocks at Graylingwell and around the station. We work within managing agents' rules, protect communal areas and plan the carry-out in advance.
Inside the city walls, Chichester has Georgian and older townhouses, many listed, with narrow staircases, cellars and small courtyards. Summersdale, Parklands, Whyke and Donnington are mostly inter-war and post-war semis and detached houses, while Graylingwell and the newer developments on the edge of the city are modern family homes and apartments. Selsey and the Witterings have a lot of bungalows, holiday homes and chalets.
Chichester District Council handles household bins, a chargeable bulky waste service and a garden waste subscription, and the county council runs the household waste recycling sites. For larger clearances, a single booked visit from us is often more practical than several trips.
Chichester's university and hospital create steady demand for rented rooms and flats. We help landlords and letting agents clear properties between tenancies and prepare homes for new tenants.
Every furniture collection job in Chichester is different, but these are the items we collect most often:
Specialist services
As part of our furniture collection service in Chichester, we also provide:
Sofas are big, heavy and surprisingly hard to get rid of. Charity shops need fire labels, the council's bulky collection might be weeks away, and since the end of 2022 the rules on disposing of upholstered seating have changed.
Getting an old bed out of a bedroom is rarely as easy as getting it in. Divan bases are heavy, bed frames need dismantling, and headboards and bunk beds are awkward on the stairs.
Mattresses are one of the most fly-tipped items in the country because they are bulky and awkward to dispose of. We collect them from your bedroom, carry them out and take them to facilities where springs, foam and fabric can be separated for recycling where available.
The detail
Since the end of 2022, the Environment Agency has required waste upholstered domestic seating, such as sofas, sofa beds, armchairs, upholstered stools and office chairs, to be treated as containing persistent organic pollutants (POPs). These chemicals were used in older flame retardants and foams, and they must be destroyed rather than landfilled or recycled with other waste.
In practice, that means sofas and armchairs are kept separate from other waste and sent for incineration at permitted facilities. It is one reason sofa disposal costs more than it used to, and why you should be cautious of anyone offering to take a sofa away very cheaply.
Furniture that came in flat-packed often will not come out in one piece, and some sofas were delivered before a staircase was changed. We dismantle wardrobes, beds, bunk beds, desks and shelving as needed, and we carry sofas down stairs and through tight doorways without damaging walls or banisters.
Please let us know about stairs, narrow landings and lifts when you send photos, so we bring the right tools and enough people.
Chichester is about twenty miles west of our Worthing base along the A27, around forty minutes by road, so we book Chichester work in planned slots. Here is how a typical furniture collection job in Chichester works:
WhatsApp a few pictures of the waste and the route to the road, or call 01903 962 492. Tell us your postcode and when suits you.
We reply with a fixed quote based on what we can see. No hidden extras, no pressure, and no obligation to book.
Our team arrives on the agreed day, carries everything out, loads the van and sweeps up behind us.
Waste goes to licensed facilities to be sorted and recycled where possible. Businesses get a waste transfer note.
We quote every job individually from photos, so you know the cost before we arrive. The main factors are:
A single armchair costs less than a three-piece suite.
Sofas and armchairs have higher disposal costs.
Priced individually for recycling.
Time taken to break down items.
Stairs and tight corners.
Responsible disposal
Upholstered seating is kept separate and sent for incineration under the POPs rules. Mattresses go to specialist recycling where available, timber and metal furniture is recycled, and reusable items are set aside wherever possible.
Whoever takes your waste, check they are a registered waste carrier. Householders have a legal duty of care, and if waste you paid someone to remove is fly-tipped it can be traced back to you. We are licensed and insured, take every load to authorised facilities, and are always happy to show our credentials.

Before and after

BeforeAfterBeforeAfterCan't speak highly enough of this service. They were speedy, efficient and polite. Above all they were very reasonably priced. Thankyou so much guys I will be happy to recommend you to friends and neighbours.
Super helpful! I sent a message on WhatsApp on the weekend and got a reply the same day with a price. They came and collected 2 days later and all was left clean and tidy. Really efficient. Would highly recommend.
Just used A Star Waste Management and the service was fantastic. The chap was extremely polite and efficient and I would certainly use this company again and recommend them whenever I can.
Collected the day following my initial message. Arrived in the morning and everything removed quickly and left tidy. Reasonable price too - excellent job! Thank you.
Bit of a mix up with timings but once arrived the boys were quick, efficient and very thorough in their work. There was an awful lot of stuff in our garage that was not being used and we needed it clearing for selling our house.
