Disposing of unwanted household items

You can now download our updated guide to disposing of rubbish, recycling and bulky items you do not want or no longer need.

A polite reminder that you are responsible for disposing of any furniture or other household items you no longer want, such as TVs, fridge freezers and washing machines.

Dumping these or any other waste items on our estates or in your shared areas is flytipping. It is against the law.

It is also a breach of your tenancy agreement and we will charge you for the cost to us of clearing it up. We will also report it to the authorities, along with our evidence we have collected
