Mega Skip Days
Mega Skip Days are an opportunity for people to dispose of bulky items for free.
Large skips are placed in neighbourhoods around the borough for all local residents to use. We are now running Mega Skip Days twice a month after figures showed they helped lead to a 16% reduction in fly-tipping.
Dates and locations
Mega skips are located in different areas across the borough.
Skips open at 9am and close when they're full, or 12 noon - whichever comes first.
Keep an eye out on X, formerly known as Twitter for updates on how full the skips are.

This isn't a complete list. If Collect 4 Reuse see items that are worth saving, they'll take them away and get them back into use.
Other ways to dispose of large items
If you miss the Mega Skip Days and want us to collect your bulky items you can book a bulky waste collection.
Also, you may want to consider donating or selling your items if they are in good condition.
