This is where the only item we are collecting is a sofa with a maximum width of 200CM/7ft and up to 100KG in weight, or any other items of soft furnishings (such as multiple padded dining chairs, etc.) up to 100KG in total. If you have a large corner sofa, or two individual sofas or a sofa and two chairs then please select our
4 Yard Charge. Where sofas form part of the overall collection they will be included in the yardage with each sofa classed as 1 Yard. Therefore, if you have booked a 6 Yard collection with a sofa included then it will be 5 Yards general rubbish plus 1 Yard for the sofa. If in doubt, please contact us for guidance.
Recently introduced Environment Agency POPS rules on the disposal of soft furnishings (sofas, dining chairs with padding, sofa beds, armchairs, bean bags, etc.) mean they cannot be mixed with other wastes and have to be shredded separately at recycling centres and then incinerated. This has increased our costs considerably and as such we have to charge a slightly higher rate than our standard 1 Yard charge, which is used for other bulky items.
