Purple: No charity shops around me, take fridges or washing machines, and in some cases they dont take lounges

Stawka: You don't have to take them. They come and pick them up

Some charities shops do not accept electrical goods. They have to have by law an electrician to inspect and tag every item before it can be put in the shop for sale.

Some Salvo stores around where I live are the only ones that have an 'in house' electrician and do accept/sell electrical goods.

Charities will also reject large items if furniture for pick up, if they already have a quite a few of the same item and they are slow movers.
