Other ways to have your bulky waste collected

When buying a new appliance, the company you are buying it from may have a collection service for your old appliances. Make sure you ask about this when you are purchasing your new appliance.

There are a number of charities and organisations that may be interested in your second hand furniture and appliances if they are in good condition. Some of these are:

• Haven Housing Trust - A local charity providing supported accommodation for older homeless people in Nottingham. They also accept donations of good, clean furniture and household goods and arrange a free collection. (0115 985 6546)
