The service is for oversized items which will not fit in a standard wheelie bin.
We will collect up to 5 items in a single uplift – a list of acceptable items is available in Section 16 of the Household Waste Policy.
Please note that it is not a collection service for excess household waste that should be placed in a household bin. If you wish to present acceptable items in clear bags eg toys, carpet pieces, small electrical appliances, these should be described fully when ordering an uplift.
Before disposing of any bulky items outside, please consider whether they can be reused. You can donate usable items to local charity organisations:
Alloa Community Enterprises, t: 01259 928081 (free uplift)
Forthbank Recycling Centre - you can dispose of a variety of items free of charge
