Special Uplifts and Charges
We operate a Special Uplift service for residents to dispose of larger or bulky waste items. The charge for this service varies, depending upon the items to be collected. The table below includes some typical loads and prices for a Special Uplift. For an exact price for your Specal Uplift, please contact the Wasteline.
Discounted Special Uplifts are available in cases of financial hardship. To qualify for a discount, you need to be in receipt of:
- Council Tax Benefit
OR - Housing Benefit
Costs for a discounted Special Uplift depend on the items being collected. For example, the charge for up to four items is £8.35 instead of the full price of £20.30, while the discounted charge for up to eight items is £12.50. Uplift of a fridge/freezer costs £8.35 at the discounted rate. For details of charges, please call the Wasteline and discuss your requirements without obligation.
Before making a request you should look to see how much waste you can Reuse or Recycle.
Alternatively you could take the materials to a Household Waste & Recycling Centre, free of charge.
