Who can book a collection?
You must live in the district to be eligible for our bulky waste collection service. This service is only for householders, we cannot collect any trade or commercial waste.
What happens when I book a collection?
Once you make your booking, we will give you a day of collection. Your bulky item should be left outside your home by 7am, making sure it’s easy for us to access and is not blocking the public highway.

There are some restrictions on the items that we can collect.
For example, we will not collect:

We will not take garden waste as part of this service, however we do offer a garden waste service.
No builders rubble or soil will be collected. Small quantities should be taken to one of your local recycling centres.
Where should I leave the items for collection?
We can only collect items from an open location, for example your front garden.
All gates must be unlocked. You should leave the items ready for collection by 7am. You will be provided with a definite day of collection.
If mattresses or sofas are placed outside for collection, please make sure these are covered to stop them becoming wet and too heavy to lift.
