The council collection
Newcastle's council bulky collection lists strip-out items by name. Up to 6 kitchen units are £40. A bath, toilet, sink, kitchen worktop (no longer than 6 foot), a bathroom suite (bath, sink and toilet) and a boiler with up to 5 radiators are £70 each. A bath must be empty. It is for domestic use only, and the council says items from a trade may not be collected. The council page also shows a 25% discount on listed prices, which it describes as current, so check the booking form.
The tips
Byker and Walbottle take small amounts of domestic DIY waste, rubble, soil and plasterboard. Brunswick takes none of the DIY waste. The council gives no limit for a small amount, and says disposing of commercial or trade waste at its tips is an offence. See rubble and building waste in Newcastle.
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 Newcastle
- Not sure if a board or sheet contains asbestos? The council takes no asbestos at any site, so get expert advice first
