How to book a bulky waste collection

Please note, we will only be able to collect items:

  • from outside your home at street level – we are not able to collect from inside your home
  • during the week (Monday - Friday) 

Help to move items outside to the edge of your property (or the arranged collection point) can be provided by a separate handyperson service (charges apply, free if referred by our WISH Plus service).

Email uk.occamden@veolia.com to find out more about the service. 

Private waste collectors can be used, but you have a legal responsibility to check beforehand that they are a licensed waste carrier and will make sure that your waste is dealt with safely and legally. 

LoveJunk is an online marketplace that can match you to nearby licensed waste carriers and reuse charities.

Bulky waste and  large items that don’t fit in your bin can still be taken to Regis Road reuse and recycling centre (booking required).
