Repatriating to the US

We are currently in the UK and planning to repatriate to the US. Any suggestions on best way to dispose off UK furniture and appliances? Thanks.

We called a few local charities and they were thrilled to come and pick everything up. Some were a little picky about what they would take, but it all went. I believe we gave the Prince & Princess of Wales Hospice all our furniture and electronic things that were not going back to the USA. They sent a truck around to pick it all up at one go.

We have done house clearing 2 or 3 times in the last 10 years and for large items such as tables and chairs, including electrical appliances like washing machines have found the British Heart Foundation to be excellent. You can book a slot online and they come out and collect.

For stuff that is not even suitable for charity shops then the free cycle network is pretty good.
