Furniture collection Shoreham

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 Shoreham-by-Sea is one of our most common jobs. Shoreham is about six miles east of our Worthing base, fifteen minutes via the A259 or the A27 Adur flyover. We collect sofas, beds, mattresses, wardrobes and more from homes and flats across Shoreham town centre, Shoreham Beach, Old Shoreham, Buckingham Park and Kingston Buci.

We carry furniture out of any room in Shoreham-by-Sea homes, dismantle it where necessary, and make sure sofas and armchairs are disposed of correctly under the POPs rules.

A Star Waste Management provided a prompt and straightforward service from start to finish. Communication was clear, collection was arranged at a convenient time, and the waste was removed efficiently with no mess left behind. Polite, professional, and easy to deal with.

Checkatrade customer, Checkatrade 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

Furniture collection in Shoreham-by-Sea: what we know locally

Every town has its own quirks. These are the things that shape furniture collection jobs in Shoreham-by-Sea.

Flat interior with bin bags, a rolled rug and dismantled furniture ready to go

Flats and apartments

The riverside developments along the Adur and around the town centre are mostly apartment blocks with lifts, allocated parking and managing agents. We work within building rules, protect lift interiors and communal floors where required, and plan loading so that we do not block residents' access.

Loft space crammed with boxes, cases and old furniture before a loft clearance

Homes in Shoreham

Shoreham's housing ranges from flint and brick cottages in Old Shoreham and around the high street to 1930s semis in Southlands and Buckingham Park, larger homes on the hillside towards Mill Hill and a lot of newer apartments along the riverside. Shoreham Beach has its own mix of modern detached homes, older chalets and bungalows built on the shingle spit.

Council services and us

Shoreham residents are served by Adur & Worthing Councils for waste collections and bulky items, with county-run recycling centres for self-delivery. If you have too much for a car boot, or you would rather not spend a weekend doing tip runs, we can clear it all in one visit.

Rental kitchen with bags and furniture left behind at the end of a tenancy

Landlords and lettings

Shoreham has a busy rental market, especially flats near the station and along the river. We empty properties between tenancies, remove tenants' abandoned furniture once the landlord has confirmed it can go, and clear gardens so properties are ready to show.

Specialist furniture collection services in Shoreham-by-Sea

As part of our furniture collection service in Shoreham-by-Sea, we also provide:

Sofa collection

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.

Bed collection

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.

Old mattresses and a headboard propped against a fence for collection

Mattress collection

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

Sofas and armchairs: the POPs rules

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.

Dismantling and access

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.

We reply with a fixed quote based on what we can see. No hidden extras, no pressure, and no obligation to book.

What affects the price of furniture collection in Shoreham-by-Sea

We quote every job individually from photos, so you know the cost before we arrive. The main factors are:

Number and size of items

A single armchair costs less than a three-piece suite.

Upholstered seating

Sofas and armchairs have higher disposal costs.

Mattresses

Priced individually for recycling.

Dismantling

Time taken to break down items.

Access

Stairs and tight corners.

How to prepare

  • Tell us how many items there are and which rooms they are in.
  • Mention stairs, narrow doorways or lifts.
  • Empty drawers, wardrobes and cabinets.
  • Let us know if any items need dismantling.
  • Tell us which items are upholstered seating, as they are handled separately.
  • If items are good enough to reuse, mention it and we will set them aside where possible.

Responsible disposal

Where your Shoreham waste goes

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.

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.

Furniture collection in Shoreham-by-Sea: FAQs

Can't see your question? Call 01903 962 492 or message us on WhatsApp.

Old mattresses and a headboard propped against a fence for collection
Can you collect a sofa from a Shoreham-by-Sea flat?

Yes. We carry sofas down stairs safely from flats across Shoreham-by-Sea and dispose of them correctly under the rules for upholstered seating.

Is your furniture collection quicker than the Adur & Worthing Councils bulky service?

Usually, yes. We can often collect within a day or two, and we carry items out from inside the property.

Do you reuse furniture from Shoreham-by-Sea collections?

Where furniture is in good condition, we set it aside for reuse wherever possible.

Do you clear houseboats and properties on Shoreham Beach?

Yes. We have worked on Shoreham Beach and along the riverside. Let us know about gangplanks, shingle paths or long carries so we can bring enough people and quote accurately.

How far are you from Shoreham?

About six miles from our Worthing base, roughly fifteen minutes by road, so Shoreham is part of our regular weekly coverage.

Can you take a single sofa?

Yes. We collect single items, although for one piece the council bulky service may sometimes be cheaper.

Why does sofa disposal cost more?

Because sofas and armchairs must now be disposed of by incineration under the POPs rules, which costs more than general disposal.

Do you dismantle furniture?

Yes, where it is needed to get it out safely.

Send us a photo. We'll send you a price.

WhatsApp a few pictures of what needs to go and the route to the road. We reply with a clear, fixed quote, usually the same working day, and collections are often possible within a day or two.
