Bulky waste collection service
This is a service provided for the collection of bulky items of household refuse i.e. items which you would take with you if you moved home e.g.furniture, white goods etc. but not items of construction/demolition waste.
Also not included are items weighing more than 100kg and/or items where alternative collection and disposal arrangements need to be made. A separate estimate will be provided on request at the discretion of our contractors e.g. a piano can currently be collected and disposed of for a fixed price of £58.75.
The service currently provides over 2000 collections per annum. The cost of this service is £24.00(including VAT) for up to 6 items per collection. There is no longer an additional charge for the collection of white goods.
NB. Fridges and Freezer units, once collected, are dealt with separately, ie. they are taken away to have the CFC gasses removed prior to scrapping. If a unit is in good condition, however, it is reconditioned and resold.
