Furniture removal in Canberra
In Canberra, sound furniture is worth giving away before you pay to move it. Goodies Junction at both resource management centres takes anything with reuse value, and Vinnies and Salvos collect larger donations. What nobody wants goes on your one free bulky waste collection each financial year, or to the tip. Paid removal is fastest and dearest.

Will a charity collect furniture in Canberra?
Vinnies Canberra/Goulburn discusses furniture collections by phone, and Salvos runs a national home collection service for larger donations. Goodies Junction, inside both ACT resource management centres, takes furniture, homewares, tools and building materials with reuse value if you can drop them off. Ring or book first, and expect anything damaged or stained to be refused.
What happened to The Green Shed in Canberra?
The Green Shed stopped operating the reuse sheds at the Mugga Lane and Mitchell resource management centres in 2024. Both sites now trade as Goodies Junction, run by St Vincent de Paul Society Canberra/Goulburn. Same locations, same idea, different operator. If you are searching for The Green Shed, Goodies Junction is where it used to be.
Can I put furniture out on the verge in the ACT?
No. The ACT has no councils and runs no verge collections. Furniture goes on a booked bulky waste collection instead, and the booking has to be made in advance. Putting furniture out on the verge without one is illegal dumping, and the crew will not pick up anything left behind a gate or under a carport.
How much does furniture removal cost in Canberra?
A paid removal is priced by volume and labour, usually two people and a truck. Ask for an all-in quote that covers stairs, access and the disposal fee, and ask what happens to the pieces that are still usable. Before you book one, check whether your free bulky waste collection for this financial year is still unused.
