What the council allows
Think of a three bed house in Wigan. Two free bulky slots cover ten items, and each further five costs £27 and must wait for a slot up to five weeks away. Kitchen units, doors and rubble are not collected at all. The tips take household waste only, and a van needs a permit for each visit. Landlords and property developers are not allowed to use the tips. See council bulky collection and tip permit.
What it costs
| Size of job | Typical UK range |
|---|---|
| One room or studio | £300 to £500 |
| Partly full 2 to 3 bed home | £500 to £900 |
| Full 3 to 4 bed house | £900 to £1,500 |
| Hoarded property | Often over £3,000 |
