Councils..

[ummmm]

Is there a standard of the amount of rubbish they will take?

We're just in the middle of removing fitted wardrobes (yay) and wasn't sure if they would be too much for them to take..

Anyone know?

[Robinia]

I doubt they will take it.
Google "Bulky waste removal + the name of your town/city" and you might find some info.
Here in Derby they'd collect a freestanding wardrobe for a small fee but not fitted units.

ours will take 6 large items for about £30.. well, that was a few years back, but the binmen are also open to bribery!

[NazNomad]

It would depend on the Council ... ours take anything (bins full of glass / bodies / etc)

[jb190281]

Ours charge £15 PER bulky item, and the website lists what they will and won't accept.

If it fits into wheelie bin they'll take it

[boxtops]

Ours won't take furniture in the normal dustbin collection, they will send a Large Item collection truck but you have to pay. Might be cheaper to see if you have a local pick-up/disposal company who would do it, but check that they are properly licenced, you don't want your old wardrobes tipped in the local stream.

[ummmm]

I'll have a look...

I know they take 3 items for £15 but was sure if this was classed as an item..

If not we'll just get a van and do it ourselves...

Now...I have to decorate the whole room as it's mish mash wall paper :-)

People just dump there rubbish in the middle of our road.

There ya go ummmm, find out where Thebarron lives, and take it there :-)

[cazzz1975]

our council will take anything, check your councils website and the bulky waste form

[ummmm]

Thanks all. Just checked and I think it's a no.

[ummmm]

Will do...we can get a transit from the shop over the road so don't even need to break it up. Just thought if the council would do it for £15 that would be the best option.

check your council website. Many have free dumps, but will charge for taking household goods away . Some £30 for first 15 minutes. They wont take rubble from DIY projects, people have to take it to dump themselves and pay by weight to dispose of. Ridiculous really encourages fly tipping. Loads of wood - burn it. Rubble try to share a skip with neighbours./ I have put washing machine and other scrap at front of property picked up by scrap men - just put notice on it FREE scrap.

Furniture projects are in many areas if wardrobes still viable. They give them to people just starting out with homes of their own.
