Options for reuse or recycling unwanted items
Consider giving your items away that are in fair or good condition, rather than disposing them through the Bulky Waste Collection Service.
This may benefit others who might be in need of your item.
They also might be willing to collect from you which will reduce costs.
There are also alternative ways to recycle:
These options may be cheaper or free of charge and help reduce impact on the environment.
You may also be able to recycle or dispose of your items for free by taking them to Summers Lane Reuse and Recycling Centre
