Bulky waste
Before booking in your items for collection, think about whether they can be reused. These shops may collect your unwanted items: British Heart Foundation, Emmaus or Air Ambulance.
Collection charges
The service costs £30 for up to three items. Additional items can be collected for £6.39 each, up to a maximum of 15 items. There is no limit on how many times you can book a bulky waste collection.
Book a collection
To book a collection, please enter your postcode then select ‘bulky waste collection request’.
Your bulky waste will be picked up on the same day as your next recycling collection, unless your next recycling day is tomorrow. If this is the case, it will be collected one week from tomorrow.
If your recycling collection is tomorrow and your request has been processed after 12 noon then your collection will not be until the following week.
Please note: The bulky waste collection service is not available for businesses or landlords as this is trade waste.
