Bulky Household Items

Do you need to get rid of an old mattress? Or a sofa, or even a fridge freezer?

We offer a special collection service for large household items, but there is a small charge for it. You can find this in our Fees and Charges. We ask you to pay in advance and you can do this at your local Cleansing office at:

  • Market Street, Galashiels. 01896 661770
  • Town Hall, High Street, Hawick. 01450 364706
  • 8 Newtown Street, Duns. 01361 886135
  • Rosetta Road, Peebles. 01721 726306

We can collect up to a maximum of five items in one uplift. Alternatively you can take bulky household items to your local Community Recycling Centre

Please note: The landfill site at Easter Langlee, Galashiels is not available for the disposal of domestic waste. Please use the Community Recycling Centre adjacent to the landfill site for this.

Contact our Cleansing service for more details.
