A COUNCIL has restarted its bulky waste collections once again after being suspended earlier in the year.

Redcar and Cleveland's Bulky waste collection services - along with garden waste services - were suspended in July due to Covid-related staffing issues.

Garden waste collections resumed during August, and now, the council has announced the resumption of bulky waste collections too, with appointments available for booking from Tuesday September 7.

Residents are able to dispose of bulky items free of charge by taking them to the Dunsdale Recycling Centre; however, if this is not possible, council collections can be arranged for a charge by ringing 01642 774774.

For more details on what type of items, how to book and charges which apply, visit the Bulky Waste Collections, within the council website’s ‘Waste and Recycling’ section, at: redcar-cleveland.gov.uk
