Reuse in Cowes

Good furniture can stay in Cowes

Cowes has something most Island towns don't: its own furniture reuse charity.

  • Storeroom2010, 1 Mariners Way

    An independent charity helping disadvantaged Island families furnish a home cheaply. The council lists it as able to collect.

  • Mountbatten, 115 High Street

    By the marina entrance. Clothes, books and household goods from the smaller rooms.

  • Unlabelled sofas handled properly

    Seating without a fire safety label cannot be resold, so it travels separately and is sent for incineration.

Not 31 July to 6 August 2027

That's Cowes Week. Parking and loading are at their hardest, so if the date is yours to choose, pick another week.

FAQ

Cowes clearance questions

Short answers. If yours is not here, call or send it with your quote.

Can you clear the house during Cowes Week?

We would rather not, and you probably wouldn't want us to. Parking and traffic are at their worst that week, so the job takes longer. Any other August week is easier.

Will Storeroom2010 take my mother's furniture?

There is a good chance if it is clean, usable and upholstered pieces keep their fire safety labels. Contact them first; they can say what they need and whether they can collect.

Do you come to Gurnard and Northwood?

Yes. Both sit next to Cowes and we treat them as part of the same run from Newport.

Some furniture is moving to East Cowes. Can you take it over?

Mention it when you ask for a quote. We plan the route across, which depends on whether the Floating Bridge is running on the day.

What if the furniture is too worn for Storeroom2010?

It comes with us. Worn wooden furniture is recycled where possible, and sofas or armchairs without a fire label are kept apart because they have to be incinerated.

Can the house be cleared while we are away?

Yes. With keys arranged and the staying items marked, we clear, lock up and let you know it is done.

A few quick questions and a photo or two is usually all it takes to give you a firm price. Or pick up the phone and talk to us.
