Bulky Waste

removal of large furniture items such as beds, wardrobes, chairs
etc.
There are four main options for disposing of domestic bulky
waste items:
- if it is in good condition and useable, please contact one of
many local charity shops or second hand shops in the area, they may
remove it for you or for you to deliver.

KCC Recycling Sites.
- pay a local Registered Waste Carrier to remove
it. It is your responsibility to ensure that the company
employed is properly registered with the local Environment
Agency - 0800 807060 - ask the question and obtain a
receipt, its your proof that the waste was disposed of
legally.
- pay the Council to remove it.
