We are currently experiencing high demand for bulky uplifts and some collections may take longer than expected. We ask that you please continue to leave your items in an accessible location until we have been able to collect them.
If you need to get rid of furniture or other items that aren’t suitable for your regular waste collections, we can collect them. Here is a list of items suitable for bulky uplift
Charges:
You must make your payment before a collection will be scheduled.
- £40 for 4 standard household items (certain items have an additional charge)
- £20 for 4 standard household items if you receive Housing benefit or Council Tax benefits (you must provide your benefit reference number when booking)
Council tenants are entitled to have four standard household items collected for free each year as part of their tenancy agreement.
Cancel a collection
You can cancel a collection of large items or a house clearance before 12 noon the day before the collection. You will need to log in to your online account to cancel a collection
Donate items for reuse
Items can be donated to local charities, clothing banks and Household Waste and Recycling Centres.
Do not leave any items next to clothing banks or waste and recycling bins. It will not be reused or recycled, this is fly tipping which is illegal.
Take Back Services
Many retailers and manufacturers offer a take-back service for goods, including electrical equipment, mattresses and even coffee pods. This service can provide a free way to dispose of items rather than paying for a bulky uplift. You can check with the retailer where you bought your items to find out if they have a service in place.
