Does your council charge for collection of bulky items ?

Following in from comments in the ‘ old sofa’ thread , I was intrigued that it appears some councils pick up big items for free

Ours charges £36 for up to 5 items

They currently have free skips for the floods though . Heartbreaking to see.

But they also charge to use the refuse sites for some items and your vehicle has to display a LCC refuse site permit to gain access. We were charged £20 to dispose of our sink and toilet - £5 per item and the sink and pedestal and bowl and cistern all counted as one item each.

[Colette-S]

Ours is £20 for up to three items
£26.67 for four items
£33.34 for five items
It’s not so much the cost round here it’s the time they take to come to collect
