GETTING RID OF LARGE UNWANTED HOUSEHOLD ITEMS

Before you ask us to collect an unwanted item, can you get rid of it another way?

  • If it's in good condition, is it possible that you may be able to give it to someone who could use it?

           If not

If you are not able to take large unwanted household items to the recycling centre, the Council can collect these items from your home.
