Household waste special collections

We provide a service for collecting bulky household waste, such as furniture, domestic appliances and bags of waste (asbestos is not collected by bulky household collections but separate asbestos collections are available).

You can book a collection for up to 10 items to be removed. Fridges, freezers, pianos and cast-iron baths are booked separately.  There is a charge for these collections:

  • General bulky waste: £28.00 for up to 10 items.
  • Fridge or freezer: £15.00 per item.
  • Cast-iron bath: cast-iron baths are assessed on an individual basis. We will let you know the cost of removal before we arrange collection.
  • Pianos: pianos are assessed on an individual basis. We will let you know the cost of removal before we arrange collection.
