Important update regarding fridges and freezers
Until further notice, we are unable to accept fridges, freezers, and other cooling appliances as part of our Bulky Waste Collection Service.
This is due to national difficulties affecting the processing of cooling appliances. These are circumstances beyond our control, and we apologise for any inconvenience caused.
Our bulky waste collection service offers pick up and disposal of two items for only £25. Some items including, for example, American style fridges and/or freezers, upright pianos and dismantled sheds are £50 per item. (these prices are effective 1st April 2026)
- This service is provided in Pershore, Droitwich Spa, Evesham, Broadway and surrounding villages for domestic households only (for commercial waste bulky items, please contact us for a quote).
- Please place items outside of the property as near as possible to the highway. There is no need to be present at the time of collection.
- Items need to be ready for collection by 7am and will be collected anytime between 7am and 5pm on the day of collection.
- If the items are not available to collect on the day of collection, there will be no refund.
- If your collection includes upholstered seating like a sofa or an armchair, these are considered Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) and need to be collected separately from other waste. Therefore, if your collection contains multiple items, we will collect this and then return for the other items or vice versa.
- We regret we cannot collect from inside the property.
- Items must be accessible and capable of being lifted by 2 people.
- If you need to cancel a collection, please ensure you let us know by 12 noon of the working day prior to your collection day.
- Collected items are donated to local charities for reuse. Please leave items intact where possible.
- If you arrange for a bulky waste collection of a fridge or freezer, please ensure all food has been emptied out. We cannot collect it if it still contains food.
- If you are unable to book online, please call 01386 565018 to speak to an adviser.
Other ideas for your bulky waste
If your items are in good condition, or you do not want to make use of our bulky waste collection service, then there are other things you can do with them.
Donate to reuse charities
If the items are in good condition
If your items are in good condition we would ask you to consider contacting re-use organisations in your area (normally a charity) so that someone else can benefit from them.
If the item requires minor repair then there are repair organisations that may still take them.

Skip hire and house clearance companies
You have a legal responsibility to ensure your waste is disposed of properly. If you give your waste to someone and they then illegally dump it, you can be fined or taken to court as well as those who are responsible.
When using skip hire or house clearance companies follow the S.C.R.A.P code to keep yourself safe from prosecution and to help prevent fly-tipping.
· S - Suspect all waste carriers. Do not let them take your waste until they have proven themselves to be legitimate. A professional waste carrier should happily answer reasonable questions.
· C - Check that a waste carrier is registered on the Environment Agency's website.
· R - Refuse any unexpected offers to have your rubbish taken away. If you suspect that someone who you have spoken to will be disposing of waste illegally, report them to the Environment Agency.
· A - Ask what will happen to your rubbish and seek evidence that it is going to be disposed of appropriately.
· P - Paperwork must be obtained. Always get a proper invoice, waste transfer note or receipt, including a description of the waste being removed and the waste carrier’s contact details.
