Bulky waste collection
Our bulky waste collection service collects items which cannot be recycled or disposed of in your household boxes or bin. We run 25 collections per day and at the end of the day the items are taken for recycling where possible or alternatively for safe disposal.
- Arrange a bulky waste collection
- Recycling centres – you can take household waste to our two recycling centres for free. Find further information, directions, opening hours and more
- Recycling and waste links - find companies and charities which can remove certain items for free
- Fly-tipping – putting items on the pavement for removal is normally illegal. On this page find further information, report dumped items and more
What we can collect
If you are unable to get to one of our recycling centres we can arrange for a team to come and collect items from you for a charge.
Any small items need to be bagged or boxed up by material type if possible. For example, garden waste in a bag and toys in a box. This is because they are recycled by material type.
Only household waste is collected. We cannot collect building waste like rubble, asbestos, plasterboard, kitchen or bathroom units and storage heaters. A small amount of building waste can be taken to the recycling centres. If you have large amounts of building waste you should employ a registered waste company or hire a skip.
Arrange a collection
Please take time to check the cost of the items you are looking to have removed. We normally require around two days' notice to ensure you get your preferred booking. We must be able to collect items safely and easily from your property.
When you are ready, call KSD Group Environmental Services between 8am - 4.30pm, Monday to Friday on (01273) 608142 to arrange the collection.

To arrange a collection please telephone Hove YMCA on (01273) 885505. They then collect and refurbish them where possible to resell. This in turn raises money for their charity.
