Bulky household waste collections
We offer a service to collect bulky household items that are too big to fit into a wheeled bin, black box, cannot be transported to one of our recycling centres or donated through the National re-use phone line.
We will accept a maximum of 5 items per uplift from outside the front of the property.
There is a charge of £45.00 per bulky uplift.
Eligible residents in receipt of means tested Council Tax reduction (excluding discount for single occupancy) are entitled to receive 1 free bulky uplift from 01 April 2024 - 31 March 2025.
