If you have a large item such as a piece of furniture or a fridge you wish to dispose of, we offer a special collection service for large items.
We will collect a maximum of three household items such as three-piece suite (which is classed as three items), carpets, chairs, bed or mattress, for a charge of £15. Fridges and freezers can be collected for a charge of £30 each.
The general rule of thumb for what we will collect is: if you would take it with you when you move house, it is likely to be suitable for this service.
Items must be collected from your door (so you must be in). Items left outside will be classed as flytipping and you will be prosecuted.
Preparing large items for collection
Below is a list of general points to help you to prepare you large items for collection.
- One carpet must be manageable by two people, otherwise it must be cut into pieces, rolled and tied.
- Carpet does not include underlay. This is a separate item.
- One wardrobe does not mean a full bedroom suite.
- Items should not be filled with other rubbish.
- Only items listed will be removed, any additions must be done on a separate request.
We can not collect:
- domestic waste either loose or bagged
