Request a bulky waste uplift
We operate a chargeable bulky uplift (sometimes known as special uplift) service for residents for large items that don’t fit into wheeled bins.
A bulky item collection is not offered for items where the use of a skip is better suited for disposal of the waste (for example soil and rubble).
This service is not available for businesses.
Alternative ways to dispose of your items
There might be other ways to dispose of your items. Please check:
- A to Z of waste and recyclable items to find out what you can recycle and take to a recycling centre free of charge
- What can be donated for re-use, such as bicycles or mattresses, and what conditions items need to be in
- Re-use Tool to find where you can donate furniture, working electrical items and clothing that are in good condition

How to request an uplift
Please note we can't arrange uplifts on Good Friday, May Day or during Christmas.
In some cases we'll need to arrange a visit to assess the items before we can schedule a date.
Please fill out our online form below to request an uplift.
Preparing for an uplift
Your items should be left at the end of driveway or front of house for uplift by 7am on your booked day.
We are unable to assist with preparation of your items for the uplift. You need to tell us the exact location of the items. We will not collect items from inside houses or outbuildings. Please remember only items you have told us about will be picked up.
For safety reasons, the seal around the door of a fridge and freezer should be removed, and the door tied or taped shut. Please also ensure all food is removed first.
How to cancel an uplift booking
If you need to cancel your uplift, please call our Wasteline on 03456 081207 by 1pm on the Friday before the uplift date so we can refund the cost. If you inform us after this time then no refund will be paid.
