Before arranging a collection, you might want to think about donating the items to a charity, such as Barnsley Hospice or British Heart Foundation. They'll usually collect items that can be reused free of charge. You could also use Freecycle.

How to Identify Antique Wooden Furniture
When you want to refinish old wooden furniture, the best place to look is the family storeroom: Check the attic, basement, garage, or wherever unwanted furniture has collected. You may also discover a real antique or two -- pieces handed down through the family for generations. Other good sources are secondhand stores, household auctions, and garage sales. With furniture, as with anything else, one person's junk is another another's treasure.
Antique stores are a good place to find furniture to refinish, but expect to pay for these pieces. If you're interested in antiques, recent or old, research before you buy anything. Real antiques and many reproductions are extremely valuable, but there are also many imitations. If you aren't sure an antique is really antique, pay for an expert opinion. Never buy an antique, or try to refinish it, until you know what you have. In this article, we'll discuss how to assess whether a piece of furniture is an antique and whether it is worth saving through the refinishing process.

Which Drill Bits Should I Use? Your Complete Guide to Drill and Screwdriver Bits
When it comes to DIY, it’s important that you have the right tools for the job. This goes double for when you’re using a drill! As you might imagine, drilling holes around your home without the knowledge or tools to do it properly can get messy pretty quickly.
You’ll need a drill to do even the most basic DIY jobs around the house, whether it’s putting up a shelf or installing a light fitting. Most cordless drills come with a few basic drill bits anyway, but for some DIY jobs, you might need something extra. A specialist drill bit can offer more power, more precision, and a cleaner hole depending on what you’re drilling.
Twist Drills (Wood, Metal, Masonry)
Twist bits are the most common kind of drill bit. Most standard drills will usually come with a few differently-sized twist drill bits. They’re easy to recognise thanks to their corkscrew-like groove. You use twist bits to drill holes in flat surfaces, but depending on the material you’re drilling (metal, wood, brickwork, etc) you’ll need a slightly different twist drill to get t

Bulky waste collections
We have reached our limit for upholstered/soft furnishings bulky waste collections for this week. Online bookings will be available again from 9.30am on Monday, 8 September. We apologise for the inconvenience.
Residents in Charnwood can book a bulky waste collection online.
This means we can remove items such as tables, chairs, sofas from your property. A charge applies for this service.
We have recently had to make changes to the service due to national legislation. It means upholstered/soft furnishing items can no longer be collected as part of our standard bulky waste collection service. These types of items can contain persistent organic pollutants (POPs) which are a danger to human health and the environment.
We can still collect upholstered/soft furnishing bulky waste items, but they must be booked and collected separately.
Please note: Electrical recliners need to be booked on the standard bulky waste collection.
