Bulky waste collections
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 for re-use 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 two
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.
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.
