Bulky Waste Collection

The Saturday bulky waste service is provided for the disposal of household waste, including bulky items. In this service you can take your waste to a parked refuse freighter at a number of locations across the borough.

Please note that the schedule runs on a 4-week cycle. When a month has five Saturdays, the service is not normally run on the fifth Saturday, apart from after Easter & Christmas Bank Holidays.

The following items cannot be collected by the Saturday Service:

• Builders’ waste, concrete and similar waste
• Vehicle parts – including tyres, engines or batteries
• Oil, paint or other chemicals
• Asbestos
• Plasterboard
• Soil, rubble or bricks
• Glazed windows or toughened glass
• Gas Bottles and Fluorescent tubes

We also provide a service which can collect electrical items and scrap metal for recycling. A smaller vehicle will park next to the Saturday freighter at all sites. It will collect any of these items for recycling:

• Small household appliances (kettles, electric toothbrushes, alarm clocks, etc)
• Large household appliances (cookers, fridge/freezers, washing machines, etc)
• Electronic games & toys
• TV’s, monitors and computers
• Batteries, including car batteries
