Storeroom would be delighted to accept your donations of reusable furniture (compliant with Fire Safety in the case of soft furnishings) and other household items. Please refer to our contact us page to see if we can help each other, our community and promote re-use, reduce landfill waste too.
FREE Island wide collection service!
When our driver visits you it will be his decision on the day whether an item is suitable for Storeroom or not. Please do not be offended if the driver cannot take the item/s you are offering.
Please be aware that our vans do not have as much space inside as a tardis! We can only collect items as previously arranged, there is seldom spare room available for unexpected large pieces of furniture.
WHAT SORT OF ITEMS CAN STOREROOM USE?
We usually accept pretty much everything to make a house into a home (so long as your donation is in good condition and has appropriate labelling); items such as furniture, kitchen equipment, electrical appliances, office furniture, carpet/rugs, plus bicycles are always popular for reuse.
WHAT CONDITION DO ITEMS NEED TO BE IN?
The donations we receive are sold on at affordable prices to people who are in need and to the general public. For us to be able to pass donations on, they need to be in good condition. It doesn’t need to be new, but any item offered should be clean, free from damage, rips or stains and in good, usable condition.
Upholstered furniture like sofas, armchairs or mattresses must have a fire label otherwise we will not be able to accept them; legally we cannot sell on items unless we know they are safe.
Any electrical devices should be less than 10 years old, currently working and clean. Bikes should be functional and with all parts.
WHAT CAN’T STOREROOM TAKE?
Each re-use organisation is different, but Storeroom can’t take Cookers (electric or gas), any gas items and electric beds. We also do not accept personal items i.e. clothing, shoes etc. but plenty of other charities on the island would love to receive these from you.
WHAT IF MY ITEM IS NOT REUSABLE?
If you can’t find someone who can use your unwanted items, you can contact the Isle of Wight Council’s Bulky Waste service on 01983 823777 or complete the online form by visiting

Gift Aid
Can you Gift Aid your donation to us? Are you a UK tax payer?
Gift Aid increases the value of your furniture donations to Storeroom by allowing Storeroom to reclaim basic rate tax on your gift. We can claim back the tax on your donation (25p for every £1 you donate) through Gift Aid. This additional income really does make a big difference, so please don’t forget to Gift Aid your furniture donations
A charity can claim Gift Aid when you make a monetary donation from your own funds and have paid UK Income and / or Capital Gains Tax during that tax year.
The amount of tax you pay needs to be at least equal to the value of Gift Aid the charity or CASC will claim on your donation(s).
If circumstances change and you no longer pay enough tax, it’s important to tell all the charities you support
