Household waste - special collections for large items


Bulky items

Large household items such as furniture, fridges, washing machines and televisions, etc are collected through the Bulky Waste Collection Service. Large electrical and electronic items will be sent on for recycling.

To arrange a collection please phone 020 7606 3110. This service is only available to residents of the City of London. 

In 2011 a new charge has been introduced for household Bulky Waste Collections to cover the cost of collection and disposal.

There is a charge of £25 for up to three items or ten standard bags.

Collections made from specific  ground-floor collection points on City Estates will be free of charge. Please contact your Estate Office for details of the collection points.

What if I have additional items?

Each collection is for up to three items or ten bags. If you want to have between four and six items collected, there will be an additional charge of £25, totalling £50.

How can I pay?

Payments can be made via debit card or credit card by calling our Contact Centre on 020 7606 3110.

What counts as 'bulky waste'?

Items such as furniture, cookers, fridges, carpets and floor coverings and waste contained in sacks can all be taken. We don't however take any trade, garden or building materials.

Alternatively, look out for a Recycling Roadshow near you.

Most months there will be a free special collection service, usually on a Saturday, with vehicles on site at the four main estates within the city, to allow you to dispose of items such as:

  • old furniture
  • electrical items
  • large bulky items
  • garden waste
  • video tapes
  • general refuse
  • DIY waste
  • kitchen appliances
Not trade waste or hazardous waste such as asbestos and chemicals.

If you wish to comment on our Bulky Waste Collection Service please email waste.collection@cityoflondon.gov.uk or telephone 020 7606 3110.  We aim to respond within three working days.
