Chris J Simmo, Google 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 Rustington.

Retirement flats and sheltered housing in Rustington usually have lifts, set working hours and a house manager. We follow the building's rules, keep corridors clear and protect lift interiors where needed.

Rustington is largely made up of detached and semi-detached bungalows and chalet bungalows, built mainly from the 1930s onwards, set on quiet roads with drives. There are also larger houses near the seafront and on the private estates, and a number of retirement flats and sheltered housing developments. Bungalows make for straightforward access, which usually keeps clearance costs down.

Rustington is served by Arun District Council for bins, bulky waste collections and garden waste subscriptions, with county council recycling centres for self-delivery. For the bigger jobs, particularly whole-house clearances, one visit from us saves many trips.

Rustington has fewer rented homes than Littlehampton or Worthing, but we regularly help landlords and agents clear bungalows and flats between tenants, especially when furniture has been left behind.

Every furniture collection job in Rustington is different, but these are the items we collect most often:
Specialist services
As part of our furniture collection service in Rustington, 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.

Rustington is around six and a half miles west of our Worthing base, roughly fifteen minutes along the A259. Here is how a typical furniture collection job in Rustington 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.
