Dealing with the bigger stuff
Furniture, appliances and clear-out piles need another route. The council runs a bulky waste collection where you book and wait for a collection day, and there are the local tips if you can load and haul it yourself.
Garden waste has its own service, covered on our garden waste bin page.
If you would rather not lift anything, we carry everything out from inside. See rubbish removal or furniture and appliance removal.
