collection of bulky items

South Cambridgeshire District Council will collect bulky household items by arrangement.

The items for collection will need to be placed in a position both easily accessible and visible from the road at the front of your property by 7.00 am on the day of the collection (e.g. front garden or drive).

If you prefer, you can take the items yourself to one of the Household Waste Recycling Centres (based at Milton or Thriplow). There is NO CHARGE made for leaving items at one of these centres.

South Cambridgeshire District Council will take the following items away for a charge of £30.00 for the first 3 items and £5.00 per extra item booked at the same time.

**Items included (each counted as one) in this service are:**
Item	Item	Item
Bed base and headboard	Domestic fridge, freezer and Fridge / Freezers	Twin tub

To arrange the collection of any of these items or for enquiries about our bulky waste service, call 08450 450 063 or email our refuse service. Payment is required at the time of booking and can be arranged over the telephone. It would be helpful to have a list of items you would like collected and your debit card details to hand when you call (we are unable to accept payment using credit cards). You will be given a date when the collection will be made and all items must be placed outside of your property by 7am ensuring they are accessible from the highway on that date. Council staff are instructed not to enter property to collect items.

The following items will never be removed. Consult a telephone directory for specialist disposal companies.
