We are also able to collect excess bagged household waste. Small items should be bagged up and five sacks are equal to one item. In total we can accept up to twenty sacks per fee.

We do not offer house clearance services. Please contact us if you have any further questions and note that refunds are not available if you cancel the collection.

Alternative methods of disposalMany charities will pass on good quality furniture and bulky electrical goods to those who need them. For more information, see the ideas to reuse waste section of our minimising waste web page, or use the search facility on the Furniture Reuse Scheme page of the WasteAware website, for your nearest outlet. If you are buying new electrical items, speak to the retailer to find out about their take-back scheme to recycle old items. Household Waste Recycling Sites are located around Hertfordshire. See the WasteAware website website for details on what can be accepted. Electrical waste such as fridges are accepted here free of charge for recycling. If you have large amounts of waste, particularly building and construction waste, you can hire a skip via a private waste company, or purchase a 'Skip Bag' from DIY shops. You will need to make arrangements with a private waste management company to have them collected. Remember fly-tipping is illegal and dumped waste poses a real hazard to others and the environment. Efforts will be made to prosecute those responsible. This page was last updated on 30/04/2013 |
