Before getting rid of bulky items such as furniture, consider whether they could be re-used or recycled 
. If your item is clean and in good working order and you would like to donate it to someone who may need it, check for reuse and repair sites in your area.
More information is available on local re-use charities

Fareham Borough Council provides a chargeable collection service for all homes in the Borough for the disposal of bulky household items such as furniture and large appliances.
Council collections are booked for Mondays (except for Bank Holidays). We require payment in advance.
Any upholstered furniture which has been split or damaged must be sealed with tape or plastic before collections. Where possible please protect items from the elements so they remain dry. Items should be left as near roadside as possible
You can find more information here.
Quotes will be given depending on the number of items you want to be removed. This list should give you an indication of the cost:
If you cancel the booking before 4pm on a Friday, a full refund will be given. After this time a £25 admin fee will be charged. If a cancellation is not received in time and the crew attend the property the Council will need to recover the costs for this lost time. The cost is based on the lost time accrued by the two-person crew and vehicle to attend your property. The recovery cost will be deducted from the original payment and any outstanding amount will then be credited back to the card used for the booking.
On the 4th May 2021, new regulations came into effect to help people in problem debt better manage their finances. If you would like further information or would like to find out if you are eligible, please see our Breathing Space webpage.
