If you have over 5 items we may need to visit, to give a quote for removal. This may also apply to carpets, sheds or wood etc so please call 01205 314200 to discuss with an advisor.

Please note we CANNOT collect building materials, asbestos, hazardous waste, medical waste.

Due to recent changes in waste legislation, some items have been identified as hazardous to health and safety. These items must be collected separately and are identified under the heading of Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs). A definition of items containing POPs is available at Identifying waste containing persistent organic pollutants (POPs).

Collection days are dependant on the ward your address is located in. To give you an idea of what likely day your items will be collected please see below:

Payment to arrange for this service can be made by calling us on 01205 314200 or in person at our main reception, Municipal Buildings, West Street, Boston where you can pay by credit or debit card.

If you wish to cancel your bulky collection and obtain a refund, you need to let us know at least 2 working days prior to your collection day. We are unable to provide refunds for any cancellations made after this time. Only full refunds will be given, we do not part refund.

Please note that we are not insured to collect items from the inside of properties. For this reason we ask that all items for collection should be placed at the front of the property the night before or by 05:30am on the day of collection. If your bulky collection is noted by the refuse crew as not out when they visit your property we will not come back for the item(s) and you will need to pay for a recollection.

You may want to use a private company to dispose of your waste, but we do advise you make sure they are registered waste carriers with a current waste carriers licence.
