Where should I leave my bulky items and when will they be collected?

We collect bulky (non electrical) items with the same vehicle that empties your black bin.
Items should be left at the front of your property at your bin collection point, on the same day as your black bin collection.

If you have a communal collection point, bulky items should be left outside the front of your property for easy access.

We can't come inside your house or garage to collect items.
