To dispose of large items that don't fit in your bin, Durham offers a bulky waste collection service. Here's a quick overview of how it works, including costs and item limits:
| Item Type | Max Items | Cost | Additional Item Charge |

| Small items | 6 | £24 | £3 |
| Large / DIY items | 3 | £24 | £6 |
| Exception items | 1 | £34 | N/A |
You need to book this service online and place the items at the kerbside by 7:00 am on the collection day. Ensure that the items are separated correctly, especially if they contain any hazardous materials. For more details or to book your collection, you can visit the bulky waste collection page.
If you have other options in mind, consider recycling centres or reuse schemes for furniture, which are also available.
