Bulky freestanding items, such as white goods and freestanding household furniture, can be collected from residents' homes by arrangement.
There is a standard call-out charge of £10 for the collection of a maximum of seven items.
Household items, including sofas, beds, fridges and washers, can be collected by arrangement with the team. This service must be booked in advance. You will be asked to ensure the items are accessible and, if appropriate, kept dry. Once you have confirmed each item, you will be given a date on which the collection will be made.
