Bulky and electrical collections
We offer a chargeable service to collect and dispose of large household bulky and electrical/metal items from domestic households only. We do not offer this service for businesses.
Donate furniture and items
If your items are in good condition and working, they could be reused. Why not consider donating to a charity shop or a local furniture project (who may collect for free).
How to book
You can book and pay for the collection of bulky and electrical items at the same time, but the collections will be on different days.
- Bulky items (non-electrical) are collected on a Wednesday
- Bulky items (containing foam, such as chairs and sofas) are collected on a Tuesday
- Electrical and metal items are collected in a separate vehicle on a Wednesday
You will be given a choice of collections days to choose from.
