Furniture removals

I spoke with a company called Abacus in Scotswood today in regard to house clearances - getting rid of unwanted furniture and so forth. I was informed that a full house clearance service would cost £375 plus VAT (which means £440.63 inclusive of VAT). It would be done by means of a lorry rather than a skip (so less inconvenience to neighbours) and that they would need 48 hours' notice. So that's a bit of good news. We can still use Envirocall to get rid of some really useless stuff (broken vacuum cleaners, old lamps and such like).

The people from Community Furniture Removal who came around last week adjudged that our stuff wasn't worth taking for redistribution. So we will have to pay.
