Book a large item collection

Important service update

large item collection bookings have resumed

---

If you don’t need a bulky household item like a sofa or a washing machine, you can drop it off at a waste and recycling centre or arrange to have it taken away. 

For large item collections, residents have three options to choose from:

1. Arrange a household large item collection 
2. Arrange an electrical large item ('white goods') collection
3. Use the house and garden clearance service

For businesses or landlords, please see our commercial large item removal page. 

Use the large item checker to see the best thing to do with your item.

Explore your options and book the large item collection that works for you.

Definition of Large Items/Bulky Waste

Collection services often describe bulky waste as "items you take with you when you move house",  to differentiate between what may reasonably be considered trade waste rather than household waste". With such a caveat, a typical bulky waste collection service is likely to:

Include	Exclude
furniture, electrical appliances such as white goods, bicycles, rugs, garden furniture and other portable household items.	carpets or underlay, kitchen or bathroom units (i.e. those that are generally fixed to the wall), black bag waste, doors and windows, fencing panels or gates, greenhouses or sheds, boilers or storage heaters.
