Please help to keep your block or estate tidy and safe by getting rid of your bulky rubbish using the advice below. Don't forget that dumped rubbish in communal areas is a fire risk to you, your family and your neighbours. If in doubt, please ask us and we will be happy to provide advice.

Household Waste Recycling Centres

If you have access to transport, you can dispose of bulky items at a Household Waste Recycling Centre, operated by Veolia Environmental Services.

Smaller items such, as footstools or small coffee tables, can be dismantled and put in your property’s black wheeled bin.

If you live in a house

Veolia offer a bulky item collection.  However, from April 2012, during any 12 month period, only the first bulky refuse collection you request will be free. After this, there will be a charge for each further collection.

Details of the new pricing arrangements will be available on the Council and Veolia websites in the near future.
 

If you live in a flat, maisonette or tower block

Many large blocks of flats and maisonettes have a dry store facility in which you can place your unwanted bulky items. If there is no dry store in your block, please contact us for advice on alternative means of disposal. 

Usually tower blocks and maisonettes of four or more storeys have bin chutes. For more information on how to use bin chutes correctly click here.
