Bulky Household Waste Collections

Carlisle City Council will be changing the way it collects Bulky Waste items from the 1st of April 2009. In order to assist you with disposing of your Bulky Domestic Waste please use the links below to see options for the disposal of your items.

Option 1 - FREE Impact Furniture Services can collect clean, re-usable unwanted furniture and electrical goods.  They then sell these on at low cost, helping residents and the environment.  To donate furniture of electrical items or to buy items, call them on 01228 633655 or visit 47 Nelson Street, Carlisle.

Option 2 - Household Waste Recycling Centre (HWRC) - Bousetads Grassing
