Council collection
The council lists sofas among the items it collects free, within the one free collection of up to five single items in 12 months. If you need more than that in the year, an extra collection is needed with a minimum charge of £5. See council bulky collection.
The tips
Hull's three sites are open 10am to 5pm every day. A van, pick-up or large trailer needs a free tip permit. A car does not.
Private collection
A licensed company takes the sofa from inside your home. Prices are UK guide figures and depend on size, stairs and the number of pieces.
