Dorset Council Bulky Waste Service

Dorset Council offers a bulky waste collection for large household items. Here's the complete guide.

How Much Does It Cost?

£30 for the first item, £10 per additional item (maximum 6 items per booking). So 3 items would cost £50, 6 items £80.

How Long Is the Wait?

Up to 4 weeks from booking to collection. This is longer than BCP Council's service.

How to Book

Online at dorsetcouncil.gov.uk. You'll need your address and a description of items. Payment by card.

Collection Rules

Items must be at the property boundary on the scheduled collection day. The crew will not enter your property. You are responsible for moving items to the boundary.

What They Take

Sofas, mattresses, wardrobes, fridges, washing machines, and other large household items.

What They Won't Take

Garden waste, rubble, building materials, hazardous waste, commercial waste, or more than 6 items per booking.
