House Clearance in Leeds

Selling a house in Leeds, moving into a new one that needs clearing of stuff, and cleaning a property after a death are common times when Leeds house clearance services prove helpful. For both new and existing homeowners, it can make getting rid of furniture, white goods, and other big bulky items much easier.

There were around 9,400 sales of residential properties across Leeds in the last year. Most were for semi-detached houses and just under 3% were for new build homes. That’s a lot of house moves to create all sorts of waste that won’t be moving with you. Homeowners, renters, landlords, students, and families can all benefit from a Leeds house clearance when you:

Sell your home to get rid of big, bulky items you won’t take with you or that aren’t in usable condition. 

Buy a new house and need to clear out anything left behind by the previous owner or from DIY jobs, such as taking up carpets.

Leave at the end of a tenancy, renters and students may need a hand disposing of furniture and other waste.

Have to clear out a loved one’s home after they’ve passed away.

Clear out your home for a spring clean, saying goodbye to many bags of waste in one go.

There are various second-hand furniture shops in Leeds and other charities and services that accept donations of old furniture. Some of these provide a free collection service to pick up used furniture in Leeds from households if you can’t drop them off yourself. Most of the furniture is resold with profits going to support the charity.

Donating furniture to charity in Leeds from a house clearance is a highly sustainable option. It avoids creating waste that may go to landfill, reduces the energy required for recycling, and can help a good local cause. Places that offer Leeds charity furniture collection include:

Leeds and Moortown Furniture Store – collects sofas, beds, bedroom storage, tables, chairs and other living room furniture but not electrical appliances or white goods.

Revive Leeds – two sites in Kirkstall and Seacroft accept small furniture and electrical items in a good condition. They don’t offer a collection service but do have drop-off points.

SLATE – accepts furniture, electrical white goods and items in a reusable condition. They’re resold in two shops in Hunslet and Armley, which provide work and training opportunities for people with learning disabilities.

Emmaus Leeds – takes everything from white goods to furniture and old bicycles with a free collection service. These must be in good condition for resale in their shops that support homeless people in the community.

St Gemma’s Hospice – collection is available for furniture and electrical items (but not large white goods) in good, working condition. Sold across their shops with profits supporting care for local people with life-limiting and terminal illnesses in Leeds.
