Furniture & Appliance Rubbish Collection in Croydon

A collection plan for the awkward items

Replacing a sofa or dealing with an unwanted appliance should not mean guessing how to move it. Croydon Rubbish arranges bulky-item enquiries around the actual size, condition and carrying route, so you know what the collection needs before it is booked.

Measure the item and the way out

A large wardrobe, corner sofa or washing machine may need more planning than a few bags. Tell us about narrow doorways, upstairs rooms, lifts and parking. Appliances should be safely disconnected by a suitable person before collection.

Bulky items to list for collection

Photograph each item and tell us its approximate dimensions:

  • Sofas, armchairs and dining chairs
  • Bed frames and mattresses
  • Wardrobes and freestanding cabinets
  • Washing machines and dishwashers
  • Fridges and freezers, subject to confirmation
  • Other listed furniture or electrical items

Specialist items and unusually heavy loads must be confirmed before booking.

Disconnect first, collect second

Collection is not a gas, plumbing or electrical disconnection service. Empty appliances, remove personal items from furniture and let us know about damage, sharp edges or unusually heavy components.

A considered route for unwanted items

Tell us about electrical equipment and upholstered furniture before collection so the appropriate handling can be confirmed. Do not leave unwanted items on the public pavement while waiting for a visit.

The agreed waste stream determines the disposal route. Ask about the handling of a particular item before confirming collection.
