Bulky uplifts

Changes to bulky waste collections

Waste & Recycling Services have made a change to the way we collect furniture and other bulky household waste at the kerbside.

These changes allow us to:

• Collect waste in a way which makes it easier to recycle
• Meet new regulations which mean we need to collect upholstered seating separately from other bulky waste
• More closely cover the costs associated with the collection and disposal of your waste
• Operate collection routes more efficiently

Changes explained

From 13 January 2025 we will:

• Operate separate collections of:
  • electrical and battery powered items
  • upholstered seating
  • all other standard furniture and furnishing items
• Collect up to 6 standard furniture and furnishing items for £30
• Charge £30 for the uplift of individual domestic kitchen appliances such as washing machines and dishwashers
• Introduce bespoke charges for sofas, mattresses, armchairs and beds
• Introduce additional charges for:
  • large, heavy or bulky items
  • items that may be wet because they have been left outside
     
• Book a kerbside collection of bulky waste
• Bulky waste pricing
