What rubbish removal covers in Oldham
Drivers in the Oldham area take household rubbish, old furniture, garden waste, appliances and small building waste. List what you have and where it is, and say if anything is heavy or needs dismantling.
- Furniture, mattresses and appliances
- Garden and green waste
- Loft, garage and shed clear-outs
- Small DIY and building waste
- Single bulky items or a full van load
Use a registered waste carrier
Anyone who takes your waste must be a registered waste carrier. Ask your driver for their waste carrier registration number and check it on the Environment Agency public register (or the equivalent in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland) before you hand anything over. The responsibility for where your waste ends up stays with you.
