Council bulky waste collection vs private collection: honest comparison
London councils will collect bulky items, and for some jobs they're the right call. Here's the fair version of the trade-off.
| Your council | waste.london | |
|---|---|---|
| Price | Often cheapest — typically £15–£60 for a few items, varies by borough; some collect certain items free | From £96 per load |
| Waiting time | Commonly 1–4 weeks, varies by borough | Next day across London; same-day often available |
| Who carries it | You — items must be at the kerbside or property edge | We carry from anywhere on the property, stairs included |
| What they'll take | A set list of household items; limits per collection | Almost anything non-hazardous on a normal load, mixed loads welcome; for hazardous we refer you to a permitted specialist registered to carry it |
| Choose a time | Usually a set day, no time slot | Book a slot; we text you the day before |
| Paperwork | None | Digital Waste Transfer Note, issued on completion |
If a couple of items can sit at the kerb for a few weeks, use your council — it's cheaper and that's fine by us. If it's heavy, upstairs, urgent, or a whole property's worth, that's the job we exist for.
