Does your council charge for collection of bulky items ?

[Pumpkin Pie]

£5 per item in Edinburgh.

[Leia Organa]

Our special uplift charge is £23.29.

[DisneyDaffodil]

£25 for up to three items. You have to book it in advance and they take 2-4 weeks to come, and actually didn’t turn up for my SiL’s items on the day so rearranged for yet two weeks later 😡

[Hmr89]

£25.30 per item in Wiltshire.
Used to live in Liverpool and its still free there. The collection service is called Bulky Bob's

We've never been charged for collections by the council here in Belfast. And we didnt in Newtownabbey or Ballycastle either.

My council states:

We can collect a maximum of five items such as a three-piece suite (which is classed as three items), carpets, chairs, beds and mattresses.
You pay £45 for three items and £10 for each extra item. TVs and fridges/freezers cost £45 each

Collection? We can only dream of such a thing! You have to get anything for disposal to the amenity site, or use a private business to do it for you.

Councils in NI are all different. Some charge and some don’t. Before the councils changed and in our previous house it was £10 per collection. When we’ve lived in a Belfast council area there has never been a charge

These are the charges for Canterbury City Council

[Twin mummy]

Ours is £22 for up to 10 bulky items.
