Bulky waste

We offer a chargeable service for special collections of bulky waste. This can be used for bulky household items (including domestic appliances, carpets, beds and furniture).

As a part of this service we are able to collect and recycle domestic fridges and freezers. We do ask that you remove all food from the appliance and after you have unplugged the unit from the mains that you cut off the power cord at the base of the unit.

For current prices see our waste and recycling charges page.
