How the service works
We can collect large ‘bulky’ items – like old sofas or mattresses – from your home.
The collection team starts work at 6.30am, so make sure items are presented by this time.
Put your items out for collection in an accessible location. This should be inside your property boundary.
Don’t leave your items in basements or areas that need to be accessed by steps.
Any fabric items such as sofas or mattresses should be covered up.
If you live in a block of flats, place your items by your bin store area, or where you would place your rubbish for collection.
