Donate furniture and other household items
Due to the ongoing extreme heat, our waste collection crews will start their routes at 5.30am to ensure their health and safety in the high temperatures. We ask all residents to place their bins out the night before their scheduled collection day. Thank you for your understanding.
If your furniture is no longer of saleable quality, you can take it to the Landmann Way Reuse and Recycling Centre or donate it to charity.
