Bulky waste
We will take large household items (items you will move home with) however we cannot collect DIY, fixtures or fittings or hazardous waste.
Some examples of items we cannot take are:
- bathroom suites
- kitchen cabinets
- showers
- doors (Internal and external)
- sheds
- snooker tables
- fence panels
- Large cookers such as a range cooker
My items are still in good condition
If your items are in good condition and suitable for reuse, you can offer them to a charity shop or visit a reuse shop at Norfolk recycling centres.
Below are examples of charities offering free furniture and electrical collections in Norfolk. If you have an item, you think may be suitable for reuse, please contact the charities directly to see if they can arrange a collection.
- British Heart Foundation
- Big C Cancer Charity
- Cancer Research UK
- East Anglia's Children's Hospices
- Emmaus Norfolk Waveney
- The Benjamin Foundation

Can I dispose of my waste elsewhere?
Waste can be taken to Norfolk County Council's recycling centres. Please visit their website to find out more.
Private companies will offer the service to dispose of your waste, as the householder you must ensure your waste is correctly disposed of. You should do the following to avoid prosecution for fly-tipping:
- Ask to see their waste carriers licence issued by the Environment Agency (if they can't supply this then don’t use them). To check a licence you can call the Environment Agency on 03708 506 506 or you can use the Public Registers Online service to check whether a waste carrier is licensed and registered.
- Ask where they will be taking the waste.
- Keep a record of any paperwork they give you including their name, address and waste carrier licence number
If you pay someone to take away your waste who is NOT a registered waste carrier and your waste is fly-tipped, you would be responsible for this. If you are found guilty of breaching the Household Waste Duty of Care Regulations 2005 you could face a fine up to £5,000.
