Local official guidance

BHF donating goods

British Heart Foundation and Recycle Now guidance both emphasise the same basics: donated items need to be clean, complete, safe and genuinely reusable, while upholstered furniture needs its fire label. Use home collection for furniture and larger electricals, local shops or donation banks for smaller goods, and switch to recycling only when the item is damaged, unsafe or rejected by reuse routes.
