Furniture collections

Donate furniture to Garden House Hospice Care. Our friendly team will collect furniture donations of all sizes.

We will always welcome high-quality furniture donations, including sofas, dining room tables and chairs, beds with clean mattresses, armchairs, wardrobes, chest of drawers and sideboards, but we know that it's not always that easy to bring them to us!

We cover all our local towns including Letchworth, Hitchin, Stevenage and Royston and other areas in North Hertfordshire and surrounding villages.

Do you charge for furniture collections?

Yes - due to the rising cost of living, we are regrettably unable to collect your items for free. There is a small charge per item which will be calculated as you fill out our booking form (excluding VAT, labour and additional waste charges). This will be reviewed by a member of our team who will send you a final quote and date for your collection.

How do I make a change to my collection?

Please email thedepot@ghhospicecare.org.uk or call us on 01462 678076 (option 1).

Does my item need fire labels?

Fire labels are required on certain items for us to be able to resell them - this will be clearly highlighted when you book your collection. We can still collect furniture if your donation doesn't contain a fire label, but additional waste charges may incur for disposal.

What area do you cover?

We collect donated furniture from the Garden House Hospice Care catchment area, which includes Stevenage, Hitchin, Letchworth, Baldock, Royston, Biggleswade and all the villages in between. If you live outside this area, additional charges may incur.


If you're unsure whether we cover your location, please call us on 01462 678076 (option 1) and we'll be happy to assist.
