Recycling centres

Any items taken directly to our Recycling Centres by residents will be accepted free of charge.

If you have employed a contractor to replace your kitchen units or to refit your bathroom, then all waste should be removed as part of their contract with you.

However, if required, we will uplift kitchen units and bathroom suites for a charge of £104.78 per uplift.

Please note that kitchen units and bathroom suites are not accepted as eligible items as part of a bulky uplift request.
