The Council offers a chargeable collection service for bulky items of furniture from domestic properties. We can collect a maximum of two bulky domestic articles at a time such as a bed or cooker . We can also collect fridges and freezers.
The items are usually collected by the refuse collectors on your normal refuse collection day. However, there will be no bulky item collections during  Bank Holiday weeks. All items must be left outside and be easily accessible for collection.

This service is chargeable. The current cost is £34.50 for up to two items. However, the cost is reduced to £15.00 if you are in receipt of certain benefits,  (The Council may undertake a check to confirm that you are in receipt of qualifying benefits).
