Bulky waste collection London
Sofas, beds, wardrobes and tables collected per item across all 33 London boroughs, on the day you choose rather than the council's next available slot. We carry from the room the item is in, dismantle it where a stairwell demands it, and check for reuse before it is ever treated as waste.
London pricing
| Job | London from | Typical time | Why the London price differs |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sofa or armchair | £50 | 20–30 min | One item, one call-out — priced for the piece rather than a van's worth of space. |
| Bed frame and mattress | £55 | 20–30 min | Covers dismantling a divan or frame and carrying the mattress out separately. |
| Wardrobe or set of drawers | £45 | 20–30 min | Most flat-pack wardrobes need part-dismantling to clear a London stairwell. |
| Dining table and up to 4 chairs | £60 | 30 min | Table legs are usually unscrewed to get the piece down a narrow staircase. |
| Second item, same visit | £30 each | Added to visit | One carry route surveyed, one call-out — extra pieces only add carrying time. |
| Same-day booking (2+ items) | £90 | Within hours | A fixed same-day rate, cheaper per item than booking two separate single-item visits. |

Working in London
Most boroughs' bulky-waste rounds limit the number of items per booking and run to a fixed collection day that can be one to three weeks out — no good when a new sofa is arriving on Thursday and the old one has to be gone by then.
We book to your date, not a rota, and take as many items as you actually have in a single visit.
A large share of inner London's housing stock is flats above shops or converted terraces with a shared street-door stairwell, and a wardrobe left on a landing awaiting council collection is both a trip hazard and, in many leases, a breach of the fire-escape clause.
We collect from the flat itself, so nothing sits in a communal area for days waiting for a scheduled round.
A three-piece wardrobe or a divan bed with a headboard rarely turns the tight half-landing found in a converted Edwardian terrace whole — it has to come apart to leave without marking the paintwork on both sides.
We assess that from your photos before booking, so the crew arrives already knowing whether a screwdriver is part of the job.
London's reuse networks and charity furniture schemes take sound sofas, wardrobes and tables that would otherwise be treated as bulky waste, which is both better for the item and often faster than a landfill route that needs a booked tip slot.
We check every piece before loading it as waste and give you a reuse receipt where it is passed on instead.

London questions
A sofa or wardrobe starts at £45–£50, a bed frame and mattress £55, and a second item on the same visit is £30. Prices are per item, priced for the carry rather than the volume.
Usually, yes. Council bulky rounds are commonly booked one to three weeks out and cap items per visit; we book to the day you choose and take as many items as you have.
Yes. Collection is from the room the item is in, not the kerb or the communal stairwell, and beds and wardrobes are dismantled where the stairwell needs it.
No — those go through our fridge and freezer disposal service because the refrigerant has to be recovered by a certified technician before the unit can be scrapped.
Often, for two or more items booked before mid-morning. A single item is usually next-day.
Sound pieces are checked for reuse and passed to a London reuse network with a receipt before anything is treated as waste.

The cleaners Constantin and arrived in time and never stopped until the work was completed to the best of their ability. I would recommend a more upgraded carpet cleaner as I was hoping for a hot steam cleaner to penetrate areas or heavy foot traffic on the carpet. They never gave up until the look… Read in full →
