The service is for oversized items which will not fit in a standard wheelie bin.
We will collect up to 8 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 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:
National re-use This phone line and website service easily allow you to pass on household items to be used again.

Most uplifts are being completed within 10 working days. This may sometimes take longer depending on demand.
