Large item collections
We provide a special collection service for bulky items of household waste. If you have got household rubbish that is too big for your bin such as an old fridge, television, mattress, or chair then we can collect it.
Before you make a request, have you considered donating your item to a reuse charity? If you have furniture that is clean, in a reasonable and reusable condition it may be suitable to donate and some charities collect household items free of charge.
You can donate to charities such as:
You can also dispose of bulky household items free of charge at the Household Waste Recycling Centre on Flensburg Way.
Arrange a bulky waste collection
There is a charge for us to collect bulky items of household waste from your home. The charge for the collection of up to four non-electrical items is £17, with additional items costing £4.50 each. Electrical household items are currently charged at £13 per item.

- Fixtures and fittings like kitchen units and bathroom suites
