Lewisham Council Bulky Item Collection vs Handy Rubbish

Lewisham Council offers a bulky item collection service for residents, which can be useful for a small number of straightforward items. However, it has some important conditions:

• It is for household bulky items only (not business waste).
• You pay per item:
  • Mattresses – a set fee per item.
  • Other large items (carpets, chairs, beds, sofas) – a set fee per item.
  • Fridges and freezers – higher fee per item; American‑style/double‑door appliances are not collected.
• When you book:
  • You must list the items in advance.
  • The fee is non‑refundable, even if you cancel.
• On collection day:
  • Items must be placed at the front of your property, within the boundary, by the specified time.
  • Council crews will not come inside to carry items out.
  • If you live on an estate, you may need to use designated bulky waste points; non‑residents leaving items there may be treated as fly‑tipping.

The council service is helpful for a few simple items that you can safely move outside, but it’s not designed for full clearances, mixed waste or urgent jobs.

Handy Rubbish is the flexible alternative when you need more:

• We collect from inside your property, including flats, lofts, basements, garages and gardens.
• We remove mixed waste in one go – household junk, bulky items, garden waste, builders’ waste and electricals.
• We handle everything from a single item to full property clearances.
• We offer same‑day and next‑day appointments, so you don’t have to wait.
• We provide a Waste Transfer Note for every job and are fully licensed and insured.
