Bulky Rubbish Collections

 

If you have any rubbish that is too big for your wheelie bin, our Bulky Rubbish Collection Service may be able to help you.

 

There are different levels of service to choose from and different charges for the number and type of items that need collecting.

 

 

Request a Bulky Rubbish Collection

 

To book a bulky rubbish collection please call us on 01622 602162.

 

Please note: 

 

All items for collection need to be specified at the time of booking or they will not be collected.

 

Once a booking has been taken, additions or changes can only be made up to 12:00 hrs on the day before the collection is due.

An item is classed as a single piece, less than 1.8m/6ft in length, that 2 people can safely lift. So a three-piece suite would be 3 items - a sofa and 2 armchairs. Any bulky garden rubbish must be bundled and securely tied to enable two people to carry it in a safe manner. Each bundle is counted as one item. Loose piles of garden waste will not be collected. Any small items, such as tiles, need to be put into sturdy containers, that 2 people can safely lift. If a collection contains any garden rubbish, it will be collected on the premier service.

 

Fridges, freezers, televisions and monitors can be collected using the bulky collection service, however these will be collected by a separate vehicle as these items cannot be crushed.

 

This service cannot be used for:

Car parts and large items of machinery

Hazardous waste

  • Builders rubble
  • Any glass
  • Any items that two people cannot lift safely
  • Items more than 1.8m/6ft in length

 

However, these items may still be taken to your nearest Household Waste Recycling Centre in Tovil, Maidstone.
