Getting rid of large items

If you have a large item which you are unable to take to a recycling centre you can book a bulky waste collection.

Charges for bulky waste collection

The cost is £30 for up to three items, or £60 for between 4 and 6 items. Once payment has been taken we are unable to offer a refund if you decide to cancel the collection at a later date. Please see details below of what we can and can't collect.

Please note: This collection service is not available on bank holidays.

Book a bulky waste collection

Collections are from 7:30am and you will need to leave the items where they can be easily accessed, for example, where you normally leave your bins. We cannot help with moving them from your house.

We are unable to collect commercial waste, builders waste, garden waste, rubble or do house clearances.

Changes to larger item collections

Due to new legislation on disposing and recycling upholstered seating, we’ve had to update our collection process for larger items. While all booked items will still be collected on the confirmed date, some items may need to be collected separately, resulting in a two-part collection.

What we will collect

The types of items we are able to collect:

  • furniture: for example sofas, tables, chairs, drawers, beds, sideboards, shelves, mirrors
  • white goods: for example, fridges, washing machines
  • large electrical items: for example, televisions, microwaves, electric fires
  • outdoor equipment: for example bikes, lawnmowers (not ride-on), children’s play equipment
  • carpets

What we cannot collect

We are unable to collect the following:

  • kitchen units
  • bathroom suites
  • plasterboard
  • flooring
  • windows
  • bricks and blocks
  • radiators and night storage heaters
  • sheds
  • DIY waste

Terms and conditions

All items must be presented together outside for collection by 7:30am on the agreed day of collection.

All items must be:

  • accessible at the kerbside, if this is not possible or your property is accessed by a private road contact us before booking.
  • easily accessible for the Recycling Operatives
  • presented in a safe fashion which does not cause any obstruction or danger to the public
  • emptied before collection

If that will not be possible call us on 01594 810000 because we may not be able to collect your items.

This service is for household items from residential premises only and no DIY, commercial or industrial waste will be collected.

All items must match the description given at the time of booking the bulky item collection.

Once booked, no amendments can be made to the booking and no refunds are given. If items are left out for collection and are taken before the collection date, no monies can be refunded.

We reserve the right to cancel or amend the booking.
