IMPORTANT NOTES about the bulky goods collection:

A maximum of 3 cubic metres of material is allowed for each household, equivalent to about one box trailer load.

Materials may be collected at any time during the week of the collection for your area, so please ensure your bulky goods are placed on the kerb on the Sunday evening. Materials placed out after the collection date will not be collected.

Please keep metal in a separate pile.

CCWS reserves the right to refuse any material. Offensive, heavy, dangerous or excessive volumes of material will not be collected.

Contact recycling centres, charity providers or second-hand dealers to see if usable items are wanted first.
