Bulky household waste collection

You can now book a collection for bulky household items. Please note that we are receiving a high number of requests for collections of bulky waste at the moment and you may have to wait a little longer for a collection date.

We are asking that if any members of your household are showing symptoms of coronavirus (COVID-19) that items are put outside three days before your collection day to reduce the risk of spreading coronavirus (Covid-19). All items should be together outside, within the boundary of your property, as close to the edge as possible (not the public highway/footpath) so that it is easily accessible for our crews.

We can collect your unwanted household items, such as furniture, electrical items and white goods. Unfortunately, we are not able to take American style fridge freezers.

Collections are made between 7am and 4pm Monday to Friday and payment must be made at the time of booking.

This service is not available for businesses. Please see our waste responsibilities webpage page for more information.

Collection charges

Please note:

• Large items such as a fridge freezer over 4ft or a 3 seater sofa count as two items.

Amendments to your collection

Please note that we are currently not able to make any amendments to your collection once it has been confirmed and paid for.

Cancellation of a collection

If you cancel your collection five days before the collection date, you will receive a full refund. However, there is a cancellation charge of £12.02 if you cancel your collection fewer than five working days before your collection date.
