Have your say on the future of local councils in Surrey

Take part in a landmark Government consultation on proposals to replace Surrey's current councils with up to three larger authorities. We support a three unitary approach - Find out more and read our consultation question guide.

Join us for a special online engagement session hosted by the Leaders of Guildford and Waverley Borough Councils on Thursday 3 July from 7pm to 8pm via Microsoft Teams. We'll explain what Local Government Reorganisation is, outline the different options being considered, and show you how to get involved. Sign up for the session (opens new window).

Find out about bulky waste collections

Do I need a bulky waste collection?

Some waste is too big to pick it up with your usual bin collection. This includes household appliances, white goods and furniture. We work with the Surrey Reuse Network and Furniture Helpline (opens new window) to recycle and reuse bulky waste.

They cannot collect the following items in a bulky waste collection:

Asbestos

 Builder's rubble

Fluorescent tubes (including one in a sun bed)

Garden waste

Oil tanks

 Car batteries

✗ Many liquids including pots of paint

✗ Sheet glass

✗ Sheet plastic

Full size snooker/pool/billiard tables

✗ Large organs and pianos

If you want to throw these items away, you'll need to contact a private registered waste carrier. Find out more advice on using a contractor to get rid of waste.
