Where council help stops
People often assume the free bulky collection can take a whole home. It can't. Liverpool City Council's page says in plain words that the service is not for house clearances, and it caps a booking at five bulky items. It also won't collect from landlord or To Let properties. The tips are the other route, but the two Liverpool sites refuse trade waste, and a van needs a booked slot with 12 visits a year. A full house can take more trips than that comfortably allows.
Choosing a firm
- Ask for a waste carrier registration number and look it up on the Environment Agency register
- Ask what the price covers: stairs, parking and sweeping up
- Keep the waste transfer note. Liverpool has an enforcement team that fines fly-tippers, as set out in fly-tipping in Liverpool
