Household waste such as bags of general rubbish, unwanted household items, and packaging
materials are commonly collected.

Bulky furniture including sofas, mattresses, tables, wardrobes, and beds can also
be removed. Professional teams have the equipment to lift and transport these items
safely.

Appliances such as washing machines, dishwashers, fridges, and ovens are accepted,
though they may require special handling and recycling processes.

Garden waste like branches, soil bags, fence panels, and shed contents can also 
be collected.

However, certain materials — including hazardous chemicals, asbestos, and medical
waste — require specialist disposal and should always be discussed in advance.

**Conclusion:If you are unsure about a specific item, contacting your waste provider
beforehand ensures everything is collected safely and legally.
