Bulky waste collection

Key information: The last bulky waste collection for 2024 will be on 20 December. The service will restart on 20 January 2025.

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.

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.
