Before the wardrobe goes
Do
- Empty it completely, including the top and the drawers
- Measure the doorways and stairs if you plan to move it yourself
- Take a few photos from different sides for your quote
- Ask any waste carrier for their Environment Agency registration
Don't
- Carry a large wardrobe down the stairs on your own
- Leave it on the pavement or in a lay-by
- Hand it to someone who cannot show a waste carrier registration
- Forget the other furniture you want gone, as it can go in the same visit
