Asking someone to take your items away
Your waste is your responsibility. If you pay for someone to get rid of it for you, you must make sure they're a licensed waste carrier.
You can check with the Environment Agency or LoveJunk to find a licensed carrier.
Pay for a bulky waste collection
We can take away large items, like white goods or furniture, for a fee.
When you buy a new fridge freezer, most companies can take the old appliance back, so it can be disposed or recycled safely and in line with environmental waste regulations.
We won't collect any commercial waste (including white goods). We also won't collect paint, chemicals, glass, asbestos or any unidentified substances in any type of container.

We'll collect your items on your normal bin collection day. Please leave them at the front boundary of your property by 6am on the day of collection.
