Large item collection

It may be possible for you to arrange a special or bulky waste collection for large items or electrical items from your household.

Note: there may be a charge for this service.

Local council services

Check your local council's website:

LoveJunk

LoveJunk is an online marketplace for you to find licenced waste carriers. It’s a great option for things that your local council can’t collect as part of their bulky waste service.

All collections are fully tracked and you will receive all the correct paperwork. It’s free for you to post and local waste collectors will send you a quote for taking the items.

Anything that can be reused will be collected for a lower or even no charge. 98% of items are reused or recycled.

You can get £10 off your first waste collection with LoveJunk using offer code ESSEX10. Terms and conditions apply.

Local furniture projects

For larger items such as furniture, white goods and electrical items you can contact your local furniture project.

Each furniture project will have a slightly different purpose, from supporting low-income families in the community to providing jobs and training opportunities.
