Bulky waste collection service

You can now sign up for email alerts to be informed of changes to your bin collection and recycling news. We also offer subscriptions to other council services and news.

If you are a resident of the Caerphilly county borough you can request collection of large household items for a fee.

Before you ask us to collect any unwanted items please consider the following options:

• If the item is in a good reusable condition, the Furniture Revival will collect furniture and electrical items free of charge. They will also collect American fridge freezer, fridge freezer, under counter fridge, under counter freezer and chest freezer fridges at a cost of £16 (the council are not able to collect any type of fridge freezers). To arrange a collection call 01685 846830.

• You can take unwanted items to your nearest household waste recycling centre. This is for household waste only. If you need to use a van or trailer you will need a permit. Visit the van and trailers section for details.

• Many companies will often take your old items away when they deliver the new one. This is often free or sometimes for a small charge and should be arranged with your supplier.
