If you have got household rubbish that is too big for your bin such as an old fridge, television, mattress, or chair then we can collect it.
Before you make a request, have you considered donating your item to a reuse charity?
If you have furniture that is clean, in a reasonable and reusable condition it may be suitable to donate.
You can donate to:
- St. Catherine's Hospice
- Derian House Children's Hospice
- British Heart Foundation
- Help The Homeless, Chorley
Alternatively, you could also donate unwanted but useful items on the Freegle website, or try Lovejunk which is a marketplace for reusers.
