Have you thought about re-using or donating?

Alternatively, if you have any items which are still in a decent working condition, please think about ways of re-using or donating your items to local charities and reuse organisations such as:

What items can I have collected?

We can help dispose of bulky household items which are too large for your regular waste collection. We collect most freestanding items or furniture that:

  • can be safely carried between two people; and
  • you'd normally take with you if you were moving house.

We also collect electrical goods known as 'WEEE' (Waste Electronic and Electrical Equipment). This includes any items fitted with an electrical plug or using batteries for power.

Note: Ten or more items for collection would be classed as a house clearance and we don’t have the capacity to collect this amount from a single property.

For a detailed list of accepted items, see What we can and can’t collect.

What will it cost?

Item Charge
One item (electrical or non-electrical)* £27
Each additional item £15

*A single and double bed, headboard, base and mattress counts as one item.
** A king size and above bed, headboard, base and mattress counts as two items. 

Please note we do not collect bulky waste on Bank Holidays, this will be moved to the next available date for that round.

Bookings made after the cut-off days above will take place the following week.

Your item(s) must be placed on the kerbside of the property by 6 am ready for collection.  All items such as fridges/freezers must be empty and cleaned thoroughly.  If the driver feels that they are unable to collect an item due to health and safety risks, such as containing food, general or hazardous waste or it hasn’t been put in an accessible place, we will not collect the item.

Note: We will not enter your property to collect as we're not insured for any damage that could be caused.
