The council rule that catches people out
Rochdale says items must be outside by 7am on your usual bin day, and that it cannot pick them up from inside your house or garage. So a garage full of old furniture or white goods has to be dragged onto the drive first. Each booking is capped at six items, and only two collections of three items a year are free.

Household waste from your own home goes free to the Rochdale tips, sorted into wood, metal, rubble and general rubbish before you arrive. Rubble is limited to five sacks a visit. Spring Vale has a 2 metre height barrier, so taller vans should use Chichester Street.
