What the council allows
Bolton's bulky terms say the service is not available to landlords of residential properties or to empty properties. The recycling centres take household waste only and turn away business or trade waste. The pages we read do not say how the tips treat a landlord's waste, so check with the council before taking a load from a rental.

A tenant still living at the property can book the council bulky collection for their own items before they leave. It must be booked while the home is occupied.
