Can I recycle it?
Sideboards are not collected as part of your kerbside recycling collection.
Wood & timber sideboards can be taken to any Household Waste Recycling Centre (HWRC).
Mixed material sideboards can be taken to any HWRC except Dudnance Lane, Pool.
Bulky waste collection
You can use our household bulky waste collection service for items that are too big for normal collections.
There is a charge for this service.
Useful information
If your sideboard is still usable you could consider selling it, passing it on or donating it.
Donate or sell
Charity shops are always grateful for donations of unwanted items in good condition. You could also organise a give and take event or give items away via Freecycle, Freegle.
You can donate usable furniture to community projects like:
- RE:SOURCE in Bodmin
- Heartlands Furniture in Pool
- GOFA in Penzance
- Cornwall and Plymouth Furniture Reuse Project.
Or sell your spare stuff at garage sales and car boot sales or on eBay. If you can transport items yourself, most towns have their own auction rooms. They are also a good way of selling and buying second hand items.
