Before you request a bulky household
collection why not think about donating it to a charity shop
or see if anyone can make use of it. Type 'Freecycle' or 'Freeuse'
into your favourite search engine and see if anyone locally can
make use of your bulky refuse.
If we collect your bulky waste items, please note they
will not be reused or recycling and will go straight to
landfill.
Our three household waste disposal sites
You can take bulky refuse to one of the three household waste
recycling centres (tips) at Peel Lane in Heywood, Springvale in
Middleton or Chichester St (Waithlands) in Rochdale. Please note
that vehicles over 6'1'' high will not be able to access any of these
sites.
Request a bulky waste collection
If you can't take your bulky refuse to one of the
three household waste sites above, you can request a
bulky waste collection by the council by completing our
online
bulky refuse collection form. Or you can visit any of our
Customer Service Centres or call 0845 226 1800 to
make a booking or if you've got a query.
We use an appointment system and let you know the date we will
collect your waste items.
When we collect
Our crew will collect the items you've told us
need collecting within 10 working
days. Items for collection must be left outside at
the front of your home (if possible) by 7am, but still keep
them on your property if possible.
Points to note:
- Please note our collection crews are not able to pick
up items from inside your house or garage.
- Items such as mattresses, suites and upholstered
furniture three should only be put outside on the collection day -
only to avoid them getting wet and becoming too heavy to be removed
by our crews.
