Which bin for wood and old furniture?
Usual answer in the UK
The tip Household waste recycling centre (the tip)
Timber, offcuts and wooden furniture go to the tip, or book a bulky waste collection for larger items.
Also possible: Special collection or specialist disposal.
Does every council do this?
Most councils follow the answer above, but bins and sorting rules are set locally, and a few councils still do things differently. If your bin has a sticker, or your council sent a leaflet, follow that. Enter your postcode to go straight to your council's guidance.
