Request a bulky waste collection

Please note that the team won't be able to collect from inside any property or outbuildings such as garages.

If you have large / bulky items which are too big for your bin, rather than throw them away you could get someone local to collect them for free simply by offering them as 'free to a good home' using one of the following networks:

• Freegle
• Freecycle

You could also consider advertising them on eBay.

Another alternative for having them collected is to offer to donate them to your local furniture re-use scheme.

Shropshire's three repair cafes aim to help people fix items for free to avoid waste and to build a sense of community.

You can take large / bulky items of household waste to one of our household recycling centres free of charge. You'll need a permit if you're using a trailer or van.
