Bulky waste collections

Home » For residents » Recycling and Refuse » Why recycle? And what happens to it? » Bulky waste collections

There are a number of ways you can reuse or dispose of bulky waste items such as furniture and electrical goods...

Our bulky waste collection service

To arrange a collection of bulky household items please call our Customer Services team on 01530 45 45 45. All collections take place on either a Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday. You will need to confirm the items you would like to have collected and where you will be leaving them.

Please note we are very busy with bulky waste collections at the moment - please expect delays when booking your collection.

What can we collect?

List of acceptable bulky waste items (PDF Document, 0.1 Mb)

We cannot accept asbestos - for advice on the disposal of asbestos please contact Leicestershire County Council on 0116 305 0001.

What does it cost?

1-3 items = £25

3-6 additional items = £5 per additonal item (this will require a second collection slot).

There is a maximum limit of 6 items per household.

If you receive housing benefit, council tax support or income support you are entitled to two free collections per household per year. Please have proof of benefits ready before you call.

Marlene Reid Centre Furniture Warehouse - a local furniture reuse charity

This local charity will collect good quality furniture free of charge from homes in North West Leicestershire. Proceeds from the sale of donated items helps to support the charity's work in supporting the local community.

For more information please telephone 01530 510 515 or visit the website www.mrc.uk.net

Disposal options

You can take items to the household waste and recycling sites at Ashby Road, Coalville, Nottingham Road, Lount and Hathern Road, Shepshed.These sites are run by Leicestershire County Council. Please note you may require a permit if taking a van or trailer to the Household Waste Sites.

Safe and legal disposal

It's always the responsibility of the person creating the waste to make sure it is disposed of in a responsible and legal way.

Recently there have been a number of scrap metal thefts, including washing machines and other household items which have been taken from people's homes. You should only let approved companies take your waste away. Ask for identification or a telephone number to ring to check ID.

Local household waste sites, our bulky waste service and all the local reuse options are available for safe and legal disposal of scrap metal and electrical goods.
