We offer a free bulky waste collection service for your larger items of waste such as furniture and beds.
Residents can have up to five items of bulky waste collected three times per year by appointment. This annual allowance includes the collection of one 'white goods' item, such as a refrigerator.
What counts as 'bulky waste'?
Items such as furniture, cookers, fridges, carpets and floor coverings and waste contained in black sacks can all be taken. We don't however take any trade, garden or DIY waste.

Islington Council has teamed up with HomeStore to give unwanted furniture a new lease of life. The new service allows you to request free furniture reuse collections for items which are in good condition.
HomeStore is a charity which collects unwanted furniture from properties in the borough and elsewhere in northeast London for reuse. They work to help low-income households gain access to affordable furniture.
