Bulky waste collection
This form contains two booking options for bulky items: 1. a paid bulky waste collection for large items that will not fit in your bin and cannot be recycled or reused or 2. a bulky collection of reusable items with Emmaus.
Lambeth Housing residents do not need to book a collection of items that cannot be recycled or reused, please refer to the posters on your estate which will tell you about the days of collection and where to present your items.
Paid bulky waste collection:
If you have paid for a standard bulky waste collection, no refunds will be provided.
If you present hazardous items, or items that can’t be collected due to size or weight constraints, or you present items from a commercial premises, the items will not be collected and you will not receive a refund.
You can only amend your booking within two working days before the collection by contacting the call centre on 020 7926 9000.
Items will not be collected from inside your property. Please place items either (1) in your garden as close to the pavement as possible, (2) on the pavement if you have no garden without causing an obstruction, or (3) next to the bulk bins if you live in a block of flats.
Items should only be placed on the pavement after 8pm the day before collection otherwise you may be liable to a fine for fly-tipping.
Please note that not all items are collected on the same vehicle, so your items may not be picked up together.
Emmaus bulky collection:
Lambeth Council have partnered with the charity Emmaus to allow all residents to book a free collection of large reusable items. The items must be in a reusable condition, free from marks, stains, rust and with no missing parts, as it will be resold at one of Emmaus’ shops. Items that aren’t in a reusable condition won’t be collected by crews.
As items booked through this service are intended for reuse, they must be collected from inside a resident’s house. Please do not leave the item outside your house for collection, as this may impact the quality of the item and make it unusable.
