Consider alternatives before booking a bulky waste collection for larger items you don't want or need. If they're still in good condition the best option is to pass them on to somebody else.

  • Ask friends, family and neighbours if they could use the item you no longer need
  • Oxford Freecycle is a platform for anyone who prefers to pass on to others, rather than throw away unwanted items
  • Orinoco accepts tools, crafts and scrap items to sell and use in art projects
  • Recycle Now offers lots of ideas to reuse or recycle
  • Take unwanted items yourself to Redbridge Waste Recycling Centre
