Proof needed
The council asks for a hire agreement showing a Hull address, plus a resident's pass or other proof of address, such as a driving licence or utility bill. See tip permit.
Instead of a hire van
The council bulky collection gives one free collection of up to five items a year, and licensed rubbish removal can take a whole van load.
