Manchester Council Rubbish Collection

When it comes to disposing of large, unwanted items, the residents of Greater Manchester have several options at their disposal. Among them, the local council offers certain rubbish collection services. However, it’s important to understand the council’s services to navigate them effectively. That’s where WasteXpress comes in, providing a comprehensive, hassle-free, and more convenient alternative.

Understanding the Council’s Rubbish Collection Services

The council provides a service to collect large unwanted items directly from your home. This service includes one free collection of up to three items per year. However, there are additional costs for extra collections and for certain types of waste. The collection must take place at the property’s exterior, near the bin collection point. This can be a daunting task if your items are bulky or heavy.

Limitations of Manchester City Council’s Services

The council’s collection service comes with its fair share of restrictions. Certain items are not eligible for collection, such as items too large or heavy for two people to lift safely, items potentially harmful or damaging to the collection vehicle, hazardous waste, and waste left from building or repair work. Managing these limitations can be complex and time-consuming.

Disputes and Appeals

In instances where you see a charge for your collection, but believe you haven’t utilised your free collection for the year, you can file an appeal. This involves proving your move-in date and demonstrating you haven’t already had a collection. Dealing with such disputes can often be a complex process and may divert time away from your other responsibilities.

Legal Responsibility

Remember, the disposal of your waste is a legal responsibility. Utilising unregistered rubbish collectors/waste carriers could result in prosecution or a £400 Fixed Penalty Notice.
