How bulky waste collection works in Harrogate
Start with a free quote for collection of bulky waste in Harrogate by letting us know the type, sizes, and number of items you want removed, where from and when. Then we can book a collection time and date that suits you if you’re happy with the price.
On the day one of our purple vans and a couple of our professional team will come to your property. They’ll lift, carry, and load your bulky waste into the van and take it to a local waste transfer station in North Yorkshire. Depending on how much bulky waste you have they might do more than one trip or use an extra van.
The bulky waste is checked, sorted, and sent for reuse, recycling, or disposal. Working appliances and furniture in good condition may be donated, while those in a poor state will be recycled where possible. Any sofas containing persistent organic pollutants (POPs) are incinerated in line with Environment Agency regulations.

All sorts of bulky items are accepted from homes for free, including furniture, electrical items, white goods, mattresses, doors, mirrors, radiators, bathroom suite items, and more.

How do you get Harrogate Council to remove bulky items?

To get additional bulky items collected you must book and pay for another collection.
Bulky items must be placed near the front boundary of your property as their contractors can’t remove anything from inside your home.
