Booking bulky waste collections

Bulky waste collections can now be booked and paid for online.

Rather than phoning the call centre and being in a queue to speak to someone, residents can fill in the form on the council’s website at any time and make payment straight away. 

The charge for a bulky waste collection is £10 per item, with a minimum charge of £30. Seven is the maximum number of items which can be collected.

Items such as fridges, freezers and fridge freezers are charged at £20 per item.

Councillor Martin Carter, lead member for housing and environment, said: “Our bulky waste collection service is a popular one, so being able to instantly book and pay for a collection without having to ring up and be on hold is brilliant. 

“Collections are made on the household’s normal bin day, so they can leave the items outside with their refuse bin.”

For households where the only occupants are pensioners or the only occupants are registered disabled, you can book a free collection service, which is limited to two per year.

To book a collection, residents can register, sign in and use the bulky waste booking form. They will get a confirmation email and items will be collected on the date booked.  

For those who are unable to book online, they can still call environmental services on 01753 475111, option 4.

Residents can also take certian items to Chalvey Household Waste and Recycling Centre for disposal
