You can take large items of household waste, such as fridges, freezers, carpets and furniture, to Loscoe household waste and recycling centre. However, if you are unable to transport your waste to the recycling centre, then Amber Valley Borough Council can remove large unwanted items from outside your property at your property boundary.
Please place your large items outside your property, ready for collection by 6am on collection day. If you are unable to move the items yourself, you must arrange for someone to do this on your behalf – the Council will not enter your property to collect items from inside.
If you have an item such as a settee or mattress that will soak up water, please ensure that it is covered when you place it outside your property, so that it does not become too heavy if it rains before collection day.
Before booking please read the following:
If the contractor visits the property on the arranged day and the items are not available for collection another payment will have to be made to rearrange the collection day.
No refunds will be automatically made by the council if the collection is cancelled or the items removed by someone else other than the council.

Below is the list of prices for collecting your large, bulky waste items for recycling or safe disposal.
When booking your collection, we will need to know what items contain foam (these are referred to as POP items, "persistent organic pollutant" items), such as soft furniture, soft furnishings, and mattresses containing foam. Due to a change in Government legislation from January 2023, POP items (i.e. sofas and mattresses) have to be collected and disposed of separately due to the chemicals they contain.
Please note that no refunds will be given after payment has been received, even if the items have been taken by someone else other than the council or the collection needs to be cancelled. The items to be collected cannot be changed.
