Getting rid of bulky items is awkward when you do not have a van, or they are upstairs. A waste company can collect them from inside your home and dispose of them properly.
Items people ask us about
- Sofas, armchairs and sofa beds
- Beds, bed frames and mattresses
- Wardrobes, chests of drawers and tables
- Fridges, freezers, washing machines and cookers
- TVs and other electrical items
Fridges, freezers and electricals
Fridges and freezers contain gases that need handling properly, and electrical items have their own recycling rules. A registered carrier should know how to deal with them. Shops that sell electrical goods often have to offer to take back an old item when you buy a new equivalent, so it is worth asking when you order.
Council bulky waste or a private company?
Many councils offer a paid bulky waste collection, which can suit one or two items if you can wait for the date. A private company can be a better fit for bigger loads, a quicker slot, or items that need carrying out from upstairs or a flat. Check your council's current charges so you can compare properly.
What changes the price
