Bulky waste collections
Don't send good furniture to landfill! Donate it instead!
Before you ask for a bulky waste collection think about donating
it instead! If your furniture is in good condition and could be
used again you can take it to the Chichester Street (Waithlands)
Household Waste Recycling Centre and simply place it in the
're-use' container.
By donating your unwanted furniture you'll be helping us send
less waste to landfill and help others in the community by
providing them with quality second-hand goods.
Attention Bamford residents!
If you live in Bamford why not give your unwanted furniture to
Rebuild and make
a house a home for someone else? Rebuild is a charity which is
trying to reduce the amount of waste that goes to landfill and in
the process provide furniture to those who need it most.
Bulky waste collections
Please be aware any items we take as
part of a bulky waste collection will NOT
be reused or recycled and will go straight to landfill. That's
why we encourage you to think about donating your unwanted
furniture instead.
Our household waste disposal sites
You can take bulky refuse to one of the two household waste
recycling centres (tips) at Springvale in Middleton or Chichester
St (Waithlands) in Rochdale. Please note that vehicles over 6'6''
high will not be able to
access any of these sites.
If you can't take your bulky refuse to one of the
three household waste sites above or it's not good enough to
be donated, you can request a bulky waste collection from
us. You can make a request online or call us on 0845 226 1800.
We use an appointment system, so we'll let you know the date we
will collect your unwanted bulky 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.
Items are now only collected on a Saturday, Sunday or Monday.
Whilst we aim to collect your items within the time limit outlined
above, there are times of year especially around bank holidays,
Easter & Christmas when we are at our busiest in relation to
requests for bulky collections. At these times of year waiting
times from initial request to actual collection can take from 2 to
6 weeks.
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.
