Bulky waste collection

Are you replacing your old sofa, fridge-freezer, small electrical item or other furniture? Is it still in good condition or working order? If so, it could be sent to another good home rather than landfill.

If you think your old furniture or electrical item is in good condition please consider re-use. Wirral-based charities will accept donations of unwanted furniture in good condition for refurbishment and re-sale in their shops.

Or, why not advertise your items on Freecycle?

Freecycle is easy to use and free! The Wirral branch of Freecycle is growing every day. It's a non-profit movement of people who are giving (and getting) stuff for free in their own areas – thus keeping good items out of landfill.
