During a move or clearance, many bulky items appear: furniture, mattresses, carpets. Their correct disposal takes a bit of organisation.

What is bulky waste?

Bulky waste is items too large for ordinary household rubbish: furniture, mattresses, large carpets, wooden objects. Electrical appliances are not included – they're returned free of charge in shops.

Disposal options

You can take bulky waste to the recycling centre yourself, have the municipality collect it for a fee, or hire a clearance company. For large quantities or without a suitable vehicle, the company is often the simplest solution.

Tip: Well-preserved furniture can often be sold or donated. This reduces disposal costs and protects the environment.
