Cost

You will need to pay at the time of booking.

Arranging a collection

Call us on 0300 456 0102 to arrange a collection from outside your property.

Only items listed at the time of booking will be collected. If you need to change the items being collected for any reason, call the booking line at least two days before the collection date and we will do our best to arrange this.

In the event of having to cancel your collection, refunds will only be issued if you call us on 0300 456 0102 at least two days before the collection due date.

Where and when to leave items for collection

You will be given a collection date at the time of booking and items will be collected at any time after 7am during that day. Place your items outside so that they are clearly visible from the road by 7am on the collection day. Collection crews are not allowed to enter your property to collect items under any circumstances.
