What Items Can be Collected?
List of items that can be collected
When booking this service, you will be required to specify the items to be collected and the collection point.
All items must be able to be lifted by two people and should be placed outside the property boundary so that they are clearly visible and accessible for collection by 6am on the specified collection day. Items must not cause any obstruction or danger to members of the public. If an item does not meet health and safety requirements, the collection crew will not collect the item(s) and inform the Council of the reason.
Where possible, items left outside before collection should be covered to prevent them from becoming soaked, such as cushion sofas.
If the item is not on the online form, please contact us on 01789 260616 to check if we are able to collect it.
Please do not use the free text to list items as these will not be collected.
