Council Rubbish Collection

The council offers a range of services for the collection of waste and recycling in Dorset. They operate a weekly food waste collection service and a fortnightly mixed recycling and garden waste service. In addition to these services, the council offers a chargeable bulky item collection service. This service is for items that are too large to fit in your bin, such as furniture and white goods.

Bulky Item Collection

The cost of a bulky item collection varies depending on the number of items you wish to have collected. The council charges a minimum collection fee of 25 for up to five items per collection. Additional items are charged at 5 per item.

Limited to Five Items

It's important to note that the council's bulky item collection service is limited to a maximum of five items per collection. If you have more than five items, you will need to arrange an additional collection. The council will not collect items that are outside the property boundary or are too large or heavy for a two-person collection team to handle safely.
