Carlisle City Council - Bulky Waste collections
If you have any household bulky waste items that are of no use to anyone else, you can arrange a bulky waste collection through Carlisle City Council. Coronavirus update: Please refer to the advice above.
To arrange a collection, please use the online special collection form (our preferred contact method) or telephone 01228 817200. We will collect up to 3 household items for a fixed price of £24.

All collections take place on Tuesdays or Fridays depending on your location. All items must be presented at the kerbside by 7am on the agreed collection date. Please note that we cannot enter properties.
