Our guidelines
Please follow these guidelines:
- Bags of material, like rubble or garden waste, must be capable of being carried by 1 person.
- Put the items in a place that we can easily get to them, making sure they are safe and tidy and that sharp, or broken, items are wrapped in newspaper or similar.
- Carpets and similar items should be cut and, where possible, covered with plastic to stop them getting saturated with water.
- Trees and branches should be bundled and tied together and cut to 4 feet in length, or shorter.
- Fridges and freezers should have their doors removed or turned in a position that would prevent a child getting access. Please note: these items are recyclable and are uplifted separately.
- Hazardous, clinical or toxic waste will not be picked up. Phone 0300 300 0300 to find out how to dispose this.
