What we can collect

Reuse is always better if possible, so before you book a collection please consider selling, or gifting your item. There are a number of charities and organisations who might be interested in your second-hand furniture and electrical appliances, if they‘re in good, working condition. The following charities are among those that offer free collections for such items:

If your items aren't quite in good enough condition, we can collect bulky household items from your property including:

  • furniture
  • mattress
  • sofa
  • domestic appliances including vacuum cleaners, microwaves, toasters, kettles and hair dryers
  • bagged household rubbish (three regular sized black bags are equal to one bulky item).

Please note that we cannot collect the following items:

  • glass windows/panels​
  • any object bigger than six foot
  • tyres
  • engine parts
  • building waste, such as rubble
  • hazardous waste, such as paint or asbestos
  • garden waste (a separate garden waste service is available).

Certain waste electrical items including fridges, freezers, televisions, microwaves and computer monitors need to be disposed of under WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment) regulations and are charged separately at £17.50 each. We cannot collect hazardous waste including, paint, rubble, tyres, asbestos or gas bottles, or American-style or trade style fridges/fridge freezers.

Items need to be placed outside your property in an easily accessible place by 6am on the scheduled collection day. Where possible, we ask that the items are placed at the front of your property within your boundary, as close to the pavement as possible. We will only take away items that have been booked for collection. If we are unable to collect your item(s) on your scheduled day, please leave them out and we will attend as soon as possible.

You can also take items to your local Household and Recycling Centres operated by Nottinghamshire County Council. Please note that some restrictions apply if using a van or trailer.
