Remove bulky household items

Donate your unwanted furniture

Most furniture re-use organisations can collect good quality items from your doorstep and the collection is usually free.

Donate your unwanted furniture for re-use 

Request a bulky waste collection

Any items we take as part of a bulky waste collection WILL NOT be reused or recycled and will go straight to landfill.

We use an appointment system for bulky waste collections, so we'll let you know the date we'll collect your unwanted bulky waste items. We collect items on a Monday and aim to collect the items you've told us need collecting within 10 working days.  It may take us slightly longer around bank holidays, Easter and Christmas as we're especially busy.

Please only put items such as mattresses, suites and upholstered furniture outside on the collection day to avoid them getting wet and becoming too heavy for us to remove.
