Bulky waste collection in Cowick

Yesterday I was asked if there were any plans for the collection of bulky waste, as has happened in previous years.

To help Exeter residents dispose of unwanted bulky household items the Council arranges special collection points throughout Exeter between March and October each year. Residents can bring their unwanted bulky household items to these points.

They cannot accept items brought by vehicle to any bulky waste collection, please take them to the Exton Road recycling centre on Marsh Barton operated by Devon County Council.

I am pleased to announce that this scheme will visit Cowick between 9am and 3pm on the following dates:

Saturday 21/05/2011
Merrivale Road junction with Bowhay Lane

Saturday 29/10/2011
Merrivale Road junction Newman Road

If you need items collected between these dates, Exeter City Council operates a service to collect a small number of bulky items from customer's home (furniture, fridges, cookers etc.) for a set charge.

Costs
£15.00 for a single item; £8.00 for each additional item thereafter.

Payment is due in advance of the collection by debit or credit card. Cash payments can by taken at Customer First in Paris Street or Oakwood House in Exton Road.

Collections of a large number of items can be made on an hourly, half or full day basis. Cost is £89.30 per hour plus VAT.
Times
Collections of a small number of items are made on Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays between 7.45am - 9.00am, 9.30am - 11.00am and 12.30pm - 15.00pm.

Collections of a large number of items can be made on an hourly basis on Tuesdays. There is a fridge and white goods collection service on Wednesday afternoons and Thursday mornings.

To take advantage of this service please contact the Council with an on-line form or phone Treasury Services Payments on 01392 277888.
