How does the collection service work?

If furniture is not suitable for re-use we will collect it for a charge of £29 for:

• 3 large items
• Up to six medium sized items
• A hybrid option, allowing one bulky item to be substituted for two medium sized items

Extra items are charged at £7 per large item and £3.50 per medium item.

Please note the charge is non-refundable.

We will arrange for a collection on a suitable day for you.

All items must be placed outside, in plain view, before 7.30am on the day of collection. Please do not put the items out for collection until the day the collection is due, as it may cause an obstruction. Items will not be collected from inside the property.
