Kerbside collections of bulky household waste

Please do not book a bulky uplift if you or anyone in your household:

Has tested positive for COVID-19 in the last 7 days

If you have already booked an uplift, please cancel your booking by calling us on the number below and rebook once you are fit and well again.

Our service

We can collect furniture and other household items that are too big to fit into your wheeled bins.

Before you book your uplift please consider whether your items could be used by someone else. Local companies may offer a free collection of beds, sofas, tables, chairs and bikes in good condition. Only items suitable for re-sale will be collected, so collection is not guaranteed.

Presentation

Item must be presented at by 7am on the date of collection. This is usually the place where you put your grey bin out for collection.
All items must be easily accessible to our collection crews. We cannot collect items from between parked cars or from communal bin stores.
If you have received delivery of an item or appliance, and cannot lift/move the item yourself, ask the delivery crew to present items on the kerbside on your behalf.
If you are registered with our 'assisted collection' service, leave your items as close as possible to your gate or driveway. We cannot enter a house to collect items.
If you are registered to receive an assisted collection and authorise us to collect items from your garden, we accept no liability for loss or damage to plants, landscaping or ornaments.
Appliances should be empty and the door taped shut.
If you are not able to move/lift items yourself, consider if a house clearance company may be able to offer a more suitable solution. If you are paying someone to dispose of waste on your behalf, you must ensure that they hold a Waste Carrier's Licence. It is you and your contractor's responsibility to ensure waste is taken to an appropriate licensed site. Please check and ask your contractor where the waste will be taken to.
