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.

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.
