One of the most common questions we get is what can actually go in a waste collection. Many jobs include a mix of general household rubbish, bulky furniture, garden waste and appliances, so the answer depends on what the items are and whether they can be handled safely.

Common items we often collect

• Household rubbish and clutter
• Bulky furniture such as beds, wardrobes and sofas
• Garden waste including branches, hedge cuttings and broken planters
• Garage, loft and shed clear-out waste
• White goods and other bulky household appliances

Items that may need extra checks

Some materials need confirming before collection because they can affect vehicle loading, safe handling or disposal arrangements. Heavier materials, mixed renovation waste and certain electrical items are good examples.

Why we ask for job details

Clear item details help us identify what is there, whether any items look awkward to move, and whether the load includes anything that needs confirming before the booking is accepted.

If you are unsure

The best approach is to send the items over anyway. A short list and postcode are usually enough to say yes, no, or explain the best next step.
