Turn your unwanted stock into 'Gold' for Greenfingers

2)     Greenfingers will give you a unique reference number which need to be put on every pallet or box of donations.

3)     If you would like us to arrange for your goods to be collected we will contact wholesale logistics company Decco who will then be in touch to arrange to collection and delivery to W & H Peacock Auctions. Please note all deliveries collected by Decco need to be on shrink wrapped pallets or boxed.
