We can collect up to five large bulky household items from your premises (e.g. washing machines, carpets, dish washers, TVs). There is a charge for this service, but if you receive council tax benefit, housing benefit and/or pension credit then you are entitled to a reduced fee restricted to 1 collection in a 12 month rolling period.
