Stop! Is that bulky waste you’re throwing away an old table, a 3 piece suite or an electrical item? Is it really broken down and unusable or could it be re-used by others? If so why not give it to one of the local charity organisations that could benefit from your donation. For example, Furnishaid are a local charity that could accept old furniture or electrical goods that are still suitable for re-use. It may also be possible for them to collect from your home. Why not give Furnishaid a ring first on 01493 331919 and see if they can help.
Residents can take an unlimited amount of domestic household waste including items such as cookers, televisions, 3 piece suites, tables, fridges, freezers, free standing wardrobes or any other domestic household item which is not a fixture or fitting of your home.
