Bulky waste

Page updated on: 13/03/2020

Bulky waste is waste that you cannot fit into a bin or bag. Examples of bulky waste include beds, carpets, fridges, freezers and wardrobes.

We provide a bulky waste collection and will collect up to three items for £25 from your usual refuse and recycling collection point. It may be quicker to take the items to your nearest recycling centre, free of charge.

There are no concessions for collection of bulky waste, but some organisations will collect good quality items for free.
