Bulky Waste

Rather than disposing of everything in one skip or going to ECOHIVE Complex with commingled waste, there are other options which are cheaper and at the same time ensure that resources are not sent to the landfill.

To dispose of bulky waste, commercial entities need to:

Engage the services of a licensed waste contractor (waste carrier) to transport the waste.
Use a company vehicle to transport the waste. The Vehicle needs to be registered with the Environment and Resources Authoirty (ERA) and WasteServ,
Complete a Waste Disposal Sheet.

What can be disposed of:

Large furniture (sofas, chairs, tables, cupboards)

Non-hazardous bulky commercial items

Before disposal:

Any rope longer than 1 meter must be cut into pieces of 1 meter or less before disposal.

What cannot be disposed of under Bulky:

Electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE)
Soil
Construction waste (bricks, tiles, stones, concrete, and other building materials)
Hazardous items (batteries, compressed gases, aerosols)

Those contractors who are subcontracted by a Local Council to collect residential bulky refuse may deposit this waste at the Civic Amenity sites, as instructed by the respective Local Council.
