Get your item(s) ready for us to collect

• You should leave all items out by 7am on the day of collection.
• Make sure items are outside your property at your normal bin collection point, or in  the place we have asked you to leave it if this is different They should be all in one place and easy to reach.
• If possible, please cover items like mattresses with something waterproof, as these can get very heavy if left in the rain. We will also take away any coverings as part of the collection.
• Make sure there is enough space outside your property for our lorry.
• Remove any nails from wood or furniture.
• Tie, tape or bundle large amounts of wood like old furniture units.
