Bulky waste collections

You can use our bulky waste collection service to dispose of items if they're too big to put in your bin and you can't take them to a household waste recycling centre.

Before arranging a collection, you might want to think about donating the items to a charity, such as Barnsley Hospice or British Heart Foundation. They'll usually collect items that can be reused free of charge. You could also use Freecycle.

If you need to dismantle something (such as a wardrobe) we'll still count it as one item.

Putting your items out for collection

Items must be left within the boundary of your property and not obstruct the pavement. Please make sure your items are easy for us to access. We won't come back for them if they're behind a locked gate for example.

We won't be able to come back for items that you don't put out in time. Items like fridges or wardrobes need to be empty or we won't collect them.
