Bulky Collections

We can collect unwanted freestanding bulky household items e.g. fridges, freezers, beds, TV’s etc. from your property for a charge. House clearances or building (including DIY) materials cannot be collected.

This service currently costs £33.50(including VAT) for up to 5 items unless certain benefits are claimed. Please note that all non electrical items collected will be landfilled, if you would prefer to re-use or recycle your items select the link below for suggested locations and organisations that can help or take them to your nearest household waste recycling centre.

You will be contacted shortly after making your booking by the Council's contractor, Biffa so that a morning or afternoon appointment can be arranged. The items must be left outside the property for collection, as the operatives are not insured to enter buildings, and there must be adequate access and reasonable distance for operatives to transport large heavy items to the collection vehicle. Arrangements can be made to enter private property to remove items if required in certain circumstances. This service may be delayed slightly during Bank Holiday periods, especially Christmas.

From the 1st April 2009 residents receiving any of the following benefits will be entitled to two free collections in a twelve month period; Council Tax Benefit, Housing Benefit, Job Seekers Allowance, Income Support, Employment and Support Allowance, Pension Credit.
