The only thing now missing is a new sofa. Though what to do with your old sofa before the new one gets delivered?
Here are a few options on what to do with your old sofa:
A general website packed with information on how to responsibly dispose of your sofa can be found at http://www.frn.org.uk/
Other sites for sofa recycling include:
Freecycle https://www.freecycle.org/
A UK wide network where you can post all your unwanted items on to help you find a good home. Rule is that you give the sofa away for free.
