What charity shops cannot take

Safety rules stop charities selling some things. The British Heart Foundation, for example, cannot take sofas or chairs without a fire safety label. It also cannot take used pillows and duvets, cots, car seats or gas appliances.

Do not leave bags outside a closed shop

Bags left outside get damaged or wet and often end up as waste. In a 2026 survey, 93% of charity retailers said people had dumped things outside their shops in the past year.

Free collection for big items

The British Heart Foundation collects furniture, electricals and homeware from homes across the country for free.
