Bulky household waste
Bulky household waste consists of non-general day-to-day consumable household
items such as :
- furniture
- furnishings (carpets, curtains etc)
- white goods (cookers, fridges, freezers etc)
- electrical items (televisions, irons, microwaves etc)
- decorating items (paint tins, old tiles, wallpaper etc)
No sack must weigh more than 25 kilograms.
We cannot collect waste from within a property without pre-arrangement. Similarly, restricted or difficult access may make collection impossible.
For some materials such as building rubble, hardcore, loose chalk and soil, large branches and roots or unbagged garden waste or any other miscellaneous items please contact Household Refuse (see contact details) for advice on disposal.
For bagged green waste please see our green waste pages.
