Bulky Household Waste Collections
Other options for the removal of household items
Please carefully consider other methods of disposal, as items that we collect, we cannot guarantee will not end up being destroyed. So if you feel that someone else could make use of the item that you wish to dispose of click to find some ways to reuse it. Also try checking our Recyclopaedia, an A-Z directory of information about re-using many everyday items. Of course furniture, fridges, etc, can be taken to a Household Waste Recycling Site free of charge.
