Saturday Household Drop-off Service 2025
The Saturday Household Dropoff Service is a free waste collection service for bulky items not usually collected in normal weekly bin collections. The service will be available in selected locations on specific Saturdays during the spring and summer months.
Published: 6 March 2025
Service locations have been chosen based on the lowest disposable income per household as per the previous year.
You can take along small, broken or unwanted items that are not collected at the curb side.
Items that you can’t take along include:
- items that can be recycled
- upholstered seating (no sofas, arm chairs etc)
- large loads, fridges, freezers or other electrical goods
- hazardous waste such as asbestos, batteries, liquids or gas bottles
- business waste
- garden waste
There are many charities that will take second-hand items, for free. Please consider these to give your unwanted items a new home, rather than disposing of them.
