Benefits

Residents who are receiving benefits may qualify for one free collection every 12 months. 

This free collection is limited according to the size and number of items requiring collection; up to a maximum of £47.60. Some benefits may be excluded.

We must always make a charge (regardless of income status) for fire damaged goods, radiators, sinks, plastic baths, toilets, tiles and kitchen units.

Alternative options

You can transport your own items to the Crawley Recycling centre and dispose of them free of charge.

You can use a private contractor to collect and dispose of unwanted items. Ensure the contractor is a Registered Waste Carrier first.

You may be able to find homes for some of your unwanted items through a charity shop or a charity such as British Heart Foundation, Debra or St Catherine’s Hospice.
