Rubbish collection

[Tara]

We've had some work done on our front yard and have some rubbish that needs removing, mainly rubble, ole paving slabs etc. Does anyone know whether this can be picked up as part of the council's bulky waste collection. I've looked at the items they say they will collect and although they list DIY items there, they specify this as kitchen doors, units or work tops. I don't want to pay only to find on the day that they won't take it. Has anyone used this service before to pick up this sort of rubbish?

Put it on eBay as free hardcore, collection only. Know people who have got rid of it that way.

Don't think so, unfortunately - when we did our kitchen at our old flat they took away the units etc but rejected the floor and wall tiles as "builder's waste" so I doubt they'd take rubble.

Hi Tara.. The website is useful http://beta.southwark.gov.uk/bins-and-recycling/large-item-collections?chapter=2 but also when you call they will ask how many items you have and what they will and won't collect. http://beta.southwark.gov.uk/bins-and-recycling/large-item-collections?chapter=2

I've also used this company http://www.london-rubbish.co.uk/ They were brilliant and came on the same day. Price was reasonable and the rubbish (building waste) was taken within minutes.

Could try Streetbank too.
