What the council won't take
Liverpool's council bulky collection excludes builders waste, kitchen worktops, baths, toilets, shower screens, blinds, and fixtures and fittings such as external doors and windows. A strip-out is almost entirely made of those. The service is also not for house clearances.
The tips
Old Swan lists plasterboard and hardcore and rubble as accepted, with no limit on the page. Otterspool lists no items. The sites say trade and commercial waste isn't accepted, so a fitter's leftovers can't go there. A van needs a van booking. See rubble and building waste in Liverpool.
Your real options
| Option | Good for | Watch out for |
|---|---|---|
| Builders' waste collection | A loaded van of units, tiles and boards | Check the carrier registration and keep the waste transfer note |
| Skip | A bigger job over days | Needs a permit if it goes on the road |
| Grab lorry | Heavy rubble and soil | Needs space for the lorry |
Planning tips
- Ask your fitter whether disposal is included, and get it in writing
- An old fridge is a separate job. See fridge disposal in Liverpool
- Not sure if a board or sheet contains asbestos? Get expert advice first. See asbestos disposal in Liverpool
