This not only helps to reduce their waste bills, but more importantly can allow them to help their tenants as good quality items can be gifted to tenants. This should not replace a furnished tenancy scheme, but it is ideal for tenants who may not be suitable for a furnished tenancy, if they are in employment and not in receipt of benefits, and also those who just need help with one or two essential furniture items.
