Two seater, three seater, recliner and corner sofas, sofa beds and armchairs are all on the council list. A corner settee in two pieces is classed as two items. Your bulky day follows your bin day, and crews come between 7am and 5pm. Leave the sofa on the ground floor inside, or covered within your boundary.
Private collection
A licensed company carries it out for you, which helps with upstairs flats. Prices are UK guide figures and depend on size and stairs.
