Bulky waste collection

Key information: Millport white goods and bulky waste could not be collected today. Please leave items out and we will return as soon as resources allow.

If household items are too big to fit in your bin, cannot be donated or transported to a Household Waste Recycling Centre, contact us to arrange a bulky waste collection.

Cunninghame Furniture Recycling Company may collect household furniture and furnishings in good condition free of charge.

Charges for bulky waste

Up to five items - £27.78, plus £5.55 for each extra item.

Private contractors carrying out work

Private letting owners and letting agents operate commercially. They have a duty of care to dispose of waste materials left at the premises. Contractors' waste cannot be collected as part of a household bulky waste collection. Before a contractor carries out works at your home you should check if they have a waste carrier's license. The contractor is responsible for removing any waste created.
