Bulky Waste and Reuse

Getting rid of large items?

If you have a large item to dispose of, you can either:

  • Donate reusable furniture to charity
  • Share it with your neighbours on online platforms
  • Take it to Regis Road Reuse and Recycling Centre
  • Or we can collect it (there may be a charge for this service)

Charity donations

You can donate furniture to charity if it can be reused. 

You can book free collections from British Heart Foundation or Sue Ryder.

Sharing via online platforms

You can also share your reusable home items with others via online platforms:

Regis Road Reuse and Recycling Centre

You can bring your household recycling and rubbish, as well as larger items like furniture, to the Regis Road Reuse and Recycling Centre (NW5 3EW).

You do not need to book in advance if you want to visit this reuse and recycling centre by car, bicycle or on foot.

If you are coming in a van, trailer or stripped vehicle, you need to book in advance using our van booking system. This includes any vehicle without seats fitted in the back including minibuses with seats removed and crew cab type (pick-up) vehicles.
