Tips to manage household waste frequently asked questions
How can I dispose
of household items I no longer want?
The special collection service is for residents who wish
to dispose of items that are too large or heavy for ordinary
household waste collection. Up to eight individual items can be
accepted in a single collection for £20. Collections will be
carried out within 10 working days of payment being received by the
council. Items must be available for collection from the front,
side or rear of properties and accessible at all times.
To request a special collection telephone Ealing Customer Service Centre or complete a special collections form (word).
