As always, the final decision of what we accept will be made by the Home Aid shop team or drivers.

Please don’t leave items outside. There’s potential that these will be damaged and any collections are very much at our drivers’ discretion. If we are unable to accept an item you would then be responsible for moving it back inside.

No. For small items (books, DVDs, Bric-A-Brac, an individual item of clothing), please donate them directly to our Wee Shop on George Street, Bathgate.

All items must be in a good usable condition by someone else. If you wouldn’t be happy with it then it’s unlikely someone else will be.

Small electricals and white goods should be in decent working order and preferably cleaned prior to collection.

Mattresses and sofas must be stain free. If you’re unsure, please do ask a member of staff when you’re booking a collection. You can also upload photos of your item when booking a collection.

Note: All collections will be accepted at the discretion of our drivers and their decision will be final.

Please always prepare your item for collection in time for our drivers to arrive. This means removing any unnecessary items - washing from a washing machine, food from an oven and any clutter.

White goods should be switched off and disconnected and please don’t use these on the day of collection.

Beds should be dismantled and ready for collection. Ironmongery/headboards should be removed and any screws placed in a bag for collection.

Please also clear any exit routes in preparation for our drivers to allow them to easily move items you are donating. Removing any trip hazards and even pictures from a wall if you think they might get in the way.

We don’t offer a full house clearance service however we would be happy to take some items following an inspection. Please contact us directly to discuss this further.

Collections are for arranged items only and we won’t accept additional items unless they have been booked in.

We collect and deliver between 9am - 4pm, Monday - Friday.

Yes, if it is faulty you can return an item within 28 days of purchase. Unfortunately if you have simply changed your mind about the item, we cannot accept a return. Please refer to our Returns Policy.

Unfortunately not. It is the customer’s responsibility to ensure any items purchased from us fit the space intended, therefore we are not able to accept a return on this basis.

If you personally or a member of your household installed the item, then you will also have to uninstall the item before arrival of the collection team. Otherwise, we will uninstall the item on arrival before removal.

We won’t be able to refund delivery or installation costs if you choose to return an item.

Yes we will charge an additional fee to have white goods installed. Please contact us on 01506 652 230 to arrange this.

Pigeons know a good place to setup a home when they see one, so make a very fitting set of mascots.
