Bulky items - Collection services

If you have unwanted bulky items, such as furniture, electrical white goods and soft furnishings that are still usable, you may be able to donate them to a local charity or to other people through an online community. Alternatively you can use the Council's Bulky Goods Service for which there is a charge.

Bulky Goods Collection Service

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 7am 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:

To arrange the collection of any of these items or for enquiries about our bulky waste service, call 03450 450 063 or email our refuse service (This link will open in a new window).

• 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/credit card details to hand when you call
• 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
• NB: Council staff are instructed not to enter property to collect items
