Each area has a collection day and you will be advised of this when you book. It's not possible to give you an exact collection time within the day. You will need to put any items booked for collection at a single point on the edge of your property, next to the public highway, the night before your arranged collection day.
Please note that our collection crew cannot remove the items to be collected from your house or garden unless you are eligible for assistance. Please make sure the items are placed at the edge of your property.
Items we collect on our bulky waste collection service are reused where possible by donating them to non-profit organisations and charities. This saves items in good, reusable condition from going to landfill, as well as giving your items a new lease of life. Please advise us at the time of booking your bulky collection if you would rather we don't pass your items over to charities.
When do you collect in my area?
Once you start completing the form, it will based on your postcode, provide you with the next available collection dates.
Can I change my collection once its booked?
Yes. You can amend or cancel your bulky collection up to 3pm on the working day before your collection by telephoning our Call Centre on 01480 388640. Additional items may incur an additional fee.
I am elderly/disabled and can’t get the items out of my house, can you still collect?
Yes. Assistance is available for elderly, disabled or infirm customers who do not have support, or are unable to place their items outside for collection.
Please be aware we will not be able to complete collection without safe access to where the items are stored. All items need to be easily removable from the property. The crew will not dismantle items for removal. All items need to be on the ground floor and located within one room where possible.
When will my collection take place?
Each area has a collection day and you will be advised of this when you book. It's not possible to give you an exact collection time within the day but crews start collections at 5.30am. If you have requested assistance the crews will try to collect after 7am and make a courtesy call 30 minutes prior to arrival.
Do I have to be in on collection day?
No, unless you have requested assistance. Otherwise, you will need to put any items booked for collection at a single point on the edge of your property, next to the public highway, the night before your arranged collection day. The crews will collect your items from the road side without the need for you to be present.
