Furniture Reuse Groups

Instead of throwing unwanted furniture and household appliances away, you can arrange to have suitable items collected and re-used by local furniture reuse projects.

Furniture and appliances collected by these groups are provided at low cost to members of the community on low incomes.

Only reusable furniture and appliances can be accepted, although in some cases minor repairs can be undertaken.

Items that are not suitable for reuse can be collected by your local District or Borough Council through a Bulky Waste Collection.

Bulky Waste Collection

The Somerset Waste Partnership operates a bulky waste collection service for household items. A charge of £35 for up to 3 items and £7.50 after that is made prior to collection. There is a limit of 5 items that can be collected per visit.

We will collect a maximum of 5 household items such as fridges, freezers, cookers, tables, a 3-piece suite, carpets, chairs, beds, wardrobes, mattresses etc. (Please note, a 3-piece suite is classed as 3 items and a bed & mattress would count as 2).

If you wish to arrange a bulky waste collection, please contact your local District or Borough Council.
