Separate upholstered seating from other waste. Book construction and demolition waste in advance: the household DIY allowance is eight 50-litre bags per calendar month over no more than four visits. The booking process confirms any applicable charges; other chargeable items include gas bottles, tyres and vehicle parts. Household DIY only, not waste created by a paid contractor.
Remove attached materials and book plaster/plasterboard through the construction-waste service.
Book asbestos through the construction-waste service before visiting. Double-wrap or double-bag and seal it in heavy-duty plastic; staff cannot unload it. The booking confirms any charge.
Vehicle parts use the separate charged disposal service.
