How does the collection service work?

If furniture is not suitable for re-use we will collect it for a charge of £29 for 3 items (please note the charge is non-refundable). The items will be transferred to the Household Waste Recycling Centre for recycling where possible.

We will arrange for a collection on a suitable day for you.

All items must be placed outside, in plain view, before 7.30am on the day of collection. Please do not put the items out for collection until the day the collection is due, as it may cause an obstruction. Items will not be collected from inside the property.
