Book a bulky collection

If your item is in a usable condition, please consider alternatives to bulky item collections e.g. charity shops

Alternative options for disposal include arranging your own collection by a registered waste carrier or taking the item to your local tip in Biddulph, Cheadle or Leek.

Details of other furniture reuse schemes in Staffordshire are available on the Staffordshire Waste Partnership website (opens new window).
