What goes to bulky or special collection
5 things that belong in bulky or special collection.
| Item | Answer |
|---|---|
| Fridges and freezers | A licensed handler has to remove the refrigerant first. Household waste centre or a council collection — never a scrap man with a van. |
| Mattresses | Council bulky collection, a household waste centre, or a mattress recycler. Almost all of it is recoverable, and none of it belongs in a lay-by. |
| Needles, syringes and lancets | A rigid sharps bin, returned through the route your prescriber or council specifies. Never loose in any bin. |
| Large appliances (washing machines, cookers, dishwashers) | Household waste centre, a council bulky collection, or the retailer delivering the replacement. |
| Carpet and underlay | Household waste centre or a bulky collection. Cut into manageable rolls first. |
