Statement on bulky waste collection fee
The following is a statement explaining an increase in bulky waste collection fees, which come into effect on October 1.
A ´ºÓêÖ±²¥ City Council spokesperson said:
“We’ve not increased the price for bulky waste collections for several years, so it was reviewed as part of last year’s budget setting process.
“From October 1, the price changes to £33 if purchased online and £35 if booked by phone.
“For that, we’ll now take 10 items instead of the previous 6 - or up to 20 bags of household waste, which can include garden waste.
“This means people can get rid of more waste in one go in an easy, legal and responsible way, using the ´ºÓêÖ±²¥ of a registered waste carrier rather than taking a risk of using ‘a man with a van’ who just advertises online with no credentials.
“Our new prices significantly reduce the cost per bulky item – with up to a 19% saving if you make full use of the new number of items."
