Before getting rid of bulky items such as furniture, consider whether it could be re-used or recycled 
. If your item is clean and in good working order and you would like to donate it to someone who may need it, check for reuse and repair sites in your area.

Fareham Borough Council provides a chargeable collection service for all homes in the Borough for bulky household items such as furniture and large appliances to be disposed of.
Council collections are booked for Mondays (except for Bank Holidays). We require payment in advance. You should place items in an accessible place at the side or back of your property.
Quotes will be given depending on the number of items you want removed. This list should give you an indication of the cost:
If you cancel the booking before 4pm on a Friday, a full refund will be given. After this time a £25 admin fee will be charged. If a cancellation is not received in time and the crew attend the property the Council will need to recover the costs for this lost time. The cost is based on the lost time accrued by the two person crew and vehicle to attend your property. The recovery cost will be deducted from the original payment and any outstanding amount will then be credited back to the card used for the booking.
If you need help to clear a property contact us and we will estimate a cost for the work. A visit to the property may be required prior to providing an estimate.
