The council
Fence panels and posts are on Bury's refused list, and the council does not collect from back gardens (checked against Bury Council and Recycle for Greater Manchester pages on 2 November 2026).
Doing it yourself
- Remove nails and staples
- Cut or break panels down to fit in the car
- Keep wood, metal and concrete apart
- Take the wood to Every Street in Bury or Cemetery Road in Radcliffe
Broken concrete counts as rubble, limited to five 900mm by 600mm sacks a visit. Ask staff before bringing whole concrete posts. Vans need a free van permit.
