Bulky waste is household waste or bigger items which do not fit into your wheelie bin.

We have a free service to collect bulky items, which is available to all residents of Middlesbrough. It's separate from your usual rubbish, recycling, and garden waste collections.

Examples of bulky waste are:

• kitchen items - for example: fridge, freezer, cooker, microwave
• electrical items - for example: TV, computer, washing machine
• furniture - for example: bed, sofa

Before you book a bulky waste collection, have you thought about donating your unwanted items to charity? A number of charities, including Teesside Hospice and the British Heart Foundation will collect your items from your home.

Businesses must request a one-off collection, not a bulky waste collection. There is a cost for this service.
