Collection service for large items of household rubbish that are too big for your bin
If you have large items of household rubbish that you want to get rid of and are too big for your bin, you can arrange for a one-off bulky waste collection.
This is a chargeable service, and you can book as many collections as you like in a year. If you are in receipt of certain benefits, you may be eligible for one free bulky waste collection each year.
If you are a landlord, you can now use our collection service to dispose of items when a tenant has moved out of your property.

Up to five large household items can be included in one bulky collection. We charge based on the number of items rather than per set. For example, a bed frame and a mattress counts as 2 separate items.
The price you pay for one collection is £55.
You can book and pay for a special bulky item collection online.
You will receive a confirmation email and a receipt. We will then collect the specified items from outside your home on your chosen day and update you via email or text message.
Once you make a booking online, please contact Brent AnyJunk directly on 020 3141 6007 or email brent@anyjunk.co.uk for help with payments, receipts, refunds or cancellations.
You will be entitled to one free bulky collection per year (April to March) if you are receiving Council Tax benefit or Pension Credit (guaranteed rate).
Any further collections will be charged at £55.
To apply for a free special collection please complete the online form below.
If you live in a flat above a shop, please leave your items on the pavement outside your property without causing any obstruction to pedestrians.
Collection staff won't enter your property to get the items.
You must also make sure:
If access to your garden or property is blocked and we are unable to collect your items, you will be notified by the collection team.
If road works or difficult weather conditions are to blame, we will make a second attempt to collect your items. You do not need to contact us to arrange this.
We cannot collect from:
Residents can approach friends, relatives, charities or voluntary organisations if support is required to place the items outside the property or block of flats.
If you live in a communal property, the items must be left outside and accessible. When you complete you booking please advise us on:
The North Circular is a red route, which means that our collection vehicle cannot stop and collect items from your front garden.
If you live on the North Circular you will need to place your items on the corner of the nearest side road to you, as close to 7.30am as possible on the day of collection.
Please provide details of the road where you will be leaving your items in the ‘Additional Information’ box on the booking form.
If you are unsure where to leave your items, contact us before making your booking.

8. Collection slots are available in three time-slots – morning, evening or anytime. Morning slots will run between 7.30am and 1pm and evening slots will run between 1pm and 6pm. Choosing an anytime slot means your items will be collected anytime between 7.30am and 6pm on your chosen collection day.

12. If you live in a block of flats, your items must be presented outside the communal bin area, which is accessible to the collection crews. If there is an access code, please note this in the additional information box on the booking page.
13. If you live in a property on the North Circular Road (red route), book your collection using your home address. Then you must choose the nearest road to your home, that isn’t a red route, and put the name of that road into the additional information box on the booking page.
14. If you live in a flat above a shop, please leave your items out before 7.30 am on the day of collection, so that our crews can collect them before they cause an obstruction for shopkeepers and people using the public highway. Please place a label with your collection reference number on the items.
15. All items booked as one collection must be neatly presented together for collection. If you have booked separate collections on the same day, please group the items together as you listed them in each booking.
16. Our crews will only collect items that have been requested at the point of booking and that are not listed as a prohibited item.

18. Fragile items such as glass items and mirrors must be wrapped before we can collect them.
19. Mattresses need to be left leaning upright, so that they do not get too heavy in case of rainfall.
20. White goods, such as washing machines, cookers, fridges etc. may be collected separately to other items booked on the same day.
21. If your items were not collected, please contact AnyJunk on 020 3141 6007 or email brent@anyjunk.co.uk.

We reserve the right to not collect any items which are heavier than this when we arrive at your property. You will not be refunded for the collection if this occurs and you will have to make alternative arrangements for the disposal of the item/s.
23. If we cannot collect your items due to adverse weather conditions, no access to your road or property due to roadworks or traffic problems, we will make a further attempt to collect those items from your property within 48 hours. You will be able to check the reason for non-collection of the booking by calling us 020 3141 6007 or emailing brent@anyjunk.co.uk
24. If there is no access to your property because of an issue caused by yourself, such as a vehicle in your driveway, we will not return to collect the items and you will not be refunded for the missed collection. You will need to book another collection for the items and ensure that our crews can gain access to the location of the items.
25. We cannot be held responsible for items which are taken by a third party. You will not be refunded if your items are taken by someone other than AnyJunk.
