Mega Skip Days
Mega Skip Days are an opportunity for people to dispose of bulky items for free.
Large skips are placed in neighbourhoods around the borough for all local residents to use. We are now running Mega Skip Days twice a month after figures showed they helped lead to a 16% reduction in fly-tipping.

Mega skips are located in different areas across the borough.

The items they collect include:
- Bicycles - all types, including foldable and e-bikes
- Sports equipment - things like football and racquet sport accessories, scooters, and roller-skates
- Furniture - good quality and complete
- Homeware - such as bric-a-brac and cooking utensils

This isn't a complete list. If Collect 4 Reuse see items that are worth saving, they'll take them away and get them back into use.
Other ways to dispose of large items
If you miss the Mega Skip Days and want us to collect your bulky items you can book a bulky waste collection.
Also, you may want to consider donating or selling your items if they are in good condition.
