Bulky collection service

Bulky item collection service

We offer a collection service of up to three bulky household items that residents are unable to take to one of the Household Recycling Centres.

Before booking a bulky collection, consider whether the item(s) are suitable for reuse. 

There are several groups which can collect/accept items for reuse in North Lincolnshire.  For more information on these schemes go to our furniture reuse page.

Residents can have one collection of up to three items free of charge per financial year (1 April to 31 March).  Any further requests for collections in the same financial year will be charged for, please see our fees and charges page.
