Council collection
The Tameside bulky collection is £38 for up to five items, and Tameside counts a three-piece suite as three. Each piece must be listed separately, and if two matching chairs are outside but only one was booked, neither is taken. Sofas and chairs are collected by a separate crew, so you may get two visits on the same day. Tameside asks for items to be ready from 7am, outside and all in one easy-to-reach place, and the crew calls between 7am and 3pm.

Private collection
If the sofa is upstairs, too heavy to move or needs collecting on a Friday, when Tameside does not collect, a licensed company can take it from the room. UK guide prices are often £35 to £80.
