Bulky waste collections

The bulky waste service is closed for booking from Tuesday 17 December 2024. Bookings will recommence from Tuesday 14 January 2024 for collections starting Tuesday 21 January. We apologise for any inconvenience caused.

Request a bulky waste collection

We offer a residential bulky waste collection service for household items. This collection service is not suitable for businesses.

We currently charge £30.25 for 3 household items. Fridges and freezers are £30.25 each as this requires additional handling costs. Extra items that have not been paid for will not be collected.

Providing we receive your request before midday on Friday, we aim to collect from you within 7 working days.

Cancellations, amendments, or additions are accepted up to and including the Friday before collection. We do not issue refunds. 

Examples of items we collect 

  • fridges/freezers (£30.25 each)
  • living room furniture, for example, sofas and armchairs
  • bedroom furniture, for example, bed bases and mattresses
  • kitchen appliances, for example, washing machines and dishwashers
  • garden furniture

For a full list, please see our bulky waste collection form. 

Examples of items we don't collect

  • construction and/or building waste
  • external doors
  • kitchen units
  • pallets and fence panels
  • live batteries

Please check for information about the items accepted at your local Household Recycling Centre. 

Prior to collection

Prior to collection, you must ensure that:

  • all items booked for are left at the edge of your property, next to the public highway, by 7am on your arranged collection day
  • the maximum size of any item is limited to 6'6" (202cm) at its longest point. Please ensure all items are broken down as much as reasonably possible 
  • any glass items are to be wrapped or covered
  • any fuel tanks are to be fully emptied

If items are not presented according to our guidelines above, it may result in a non-collection and the collection would need to be rearranged.

Other options

If you have furniture that is clean and in good condition it may be suitable to donate. Some local charity groups can reuse old furniture and electrical goods, and some may collect for free, for more details visit Reuse or Emmaus.
