Rubbish collection in Catford

We collect unwanted furniture and household contents from Catford properties, with devices identified separately within the enquiry. Our team carries and loads the agreed removal. Same-day service is available across London and the M25, with our phone line open 24/7.

Plan your collection

Estimate larger contents beyond a small-item bank

Identify furniture and select electronics for an equipment-focused load.

Small electrical drop-offs and a carried furniture collection cover different sizes and materials; this guide concerns the removal at the property.

The £55 minimum covers up to 50kg; its volume allowance needs confirmation. Other bands use both limits.

Use the weight of the full load, including heavier items.

Can a large screen go into a Catford electrical bank?

Lewisham’s public small-electrical banks have a maximum accepted item size of 28 cm by23 cm and exclude larger electricals. The council lists specific Catford locations, but that does not make the banks a route for every screen or appliance. Our quotation can address larger identified equipment requiring carrying and collection from the property.

Can unwanted devices leave with furniture and boxes?

The enquiry can identify the devices alongside the furniture and other belongings being removed. We assess their type, size and collection points with the complete proposed load. The team carries and loads the agreed contents, while equipment-focused collections receive the appropriate quotation rather than automatically using household furniture guide prices.

A cupboard clear-out can leave small gadgets, cables and larger equipment beside furniture requiring removal. Our Catford enquiry keeps those groups identifiable, so a printer or screen is included with its type and location rather than hidden in a general box count.

Local recycling banks offer a different route for suitable small items. Lewisham lists Catford electrical points and a separate textile option, with defined accepted materials. Our collection addresses the carrying and loading needed for the agreed larger contents at the property.

  • Furniture and equipment listed as identifiable groups.
  • Indoor carrying assessed for larger items.
  • Bank size limits distinguished from property removal.
  • Combined contents quoted through the relevant service.
Location or schemeLewisham’s published distinctionHow it differs from a collection of larger contents
Randlesdown RoadThe council lists a small-electrical point opposite Franthorne Way, next to textile banks.The electrical bank has its own size and accepted-material limits. A larger screen, appliance or furniture piece needs a suitable separate collection or disposal arrangement for its actual dimensions.
Laurence HouseAn electrical point is listed in the rear car park off Canadian Avenue.This provides another named small-item option. Our quotation can address the larger household contents requiring carrying from the property rather than a personal drop-off of suitable small devices.
Beckenham Hill RoadThe council lists a Catford textile bank at the entrance to Beckenham Place Park.Textile acceptance is material-specific and excludes items such as cushions or duvets. A mixed furniture removal is a different service from depositing suitable clothing and household fabrics.
Catbytes donationLewisham describes a route for donating laptops, tablets and smartphones, including non-working devices.The receiving scheme has its own arrangements for repair and redistribution. Our collection instead quotes for the agreed contents and physical removal at the property, with devices identified alongside furniture and ordinary belongings.

A furniture collection with the equipment visible

We can assess a storage unit with the devices and household belongings leaving alongside it. The quotation identifies the complete contents, including smaller containers held away from the main furniture.

The team carries and loads the agreed items. Owners complete personal-information preparation before devices are handed over, while the removal list distinguishes unwanted equipment from working items being retained.

Item groupRelevant distinctionWhat the enquiry identifies
Small deviceLewisham’s banks have a published maximum item size and material exclusions.A device’s dimensions matter to that personal recycling option. For property collection, the equipment is named with its quantity and location rather than described only as a box of general belongings.
Larger screen or applianceEquipment beyond the bank size is not a suitable deposit there.The proposed collection describes its type and approximate dimensions. The team assesses the carrying route for that piece, including the room, relevant doors and connection to the loading position.
Accessories and furnitureLeads or smaller peripherals may accompany a desk, chair or storage unit.The quotation identifies those groups together. Furniture shape affects space and carrying while smaller equipment remains visible, helping describe the complete removal rather than only the largest piece.

Catford electrical banks have a defined size and material range

Lewisham lists small-electrical points at Randlesdown Road opposite Franthorne Way and behind Laurence House off Canadian Avenue. The published maximum item size is28 cm by23 cm, with exclusions including loose batteries, light bulbs and vapes.

Those material-specific banks differ from a larger property collection. Our enquiry identifies the equipment and furniture requiring carrying and transport, with the appropriate quote for the proposed contents rather than treating every appliance as a small-bank item.

Combined domestic limitGuide priceApplication to the proposed load
Up to 50 kg£55The minimum has a confirmed weight ceiling and no separately published volume cap. The quotation establishes the arrangement for the actual size and contents of a proposed furniture collection.
Up to 3 yd³ and 250 kg£120Both limits apply to the household load. Furniture and accompanying boxes or bags count together, with dense contents relevant even where they occupy little visible space.
Up to 6 yd³ and 500 kg£180The whole domestic collection must meet weight and volume ceilings. Empty storage furniture differs from the same unit accompanied by full boxes of books and other possessions.
Up to 9 yd³ and 760 kg£240This larger household reference retains both limits. Items from separate agreed collection points remain part of the same proposed removal rather than only the principal furniture item.
Up to 12 yd³ and 1,000 kg£305Loads above either allowance require a quotation. Equipment-focused, commercial and whole-property collections receive the appropriate assessment rather than being treated as an unlimited household furniture band.

Textiles and reusable devices have other local routes

The council lists a Catford textile bank at the Beckenham Hill Road entrance to Beckenham Place Park. Its textile guidance distinguishes accepted clothing and household fabrics from excluded cushions, duvets and other bulky materials.

Lewisham also points residents towards Catbytes for donated laptops, tablets and smartphones. That donation route differs from a mixed clearance. Our quotation covers the agreed unwanted contents requiring removal from the property.

Starting roomThe unwanted piece may stand among working equipment or retained furniture.The removal list identifies the items leaving. The team assesses carrying from that location while retained contents remain outside the collection, allowing a partial clear-out in a room still being used.
Floor connectionStairs or an available lift connect the collection floor with the exit.The quotation considers the actual route for the furniture and larger devices. Different shapes and dense containers can create different carrying tasks within the same proposed collection.
Vehicle loading pointThe practical vehicle position defines the final movement before loading.Our team takes the agreed contents to that point and loads them for transport. This joins the indoor removal with taking the material away rather than only receiving items delivered personally.

Carrying the larger pieces to the loading point

The route connects the identified room or storage position with the building exit and vehicle. The floor, doors, stairs or available lift are considered alongside the furniture and equipment dimensions.

We transport the agreed contents for responsible handling and recycle as much as possible. Whole-property, business and building loads receive their relevant assessments, with the household guide providing a reference for an appropriate mixed domestic collection.

Load typeWhat makes it differentAppropriate collection approach
Household belongingsA resident’s furniture, books, textiles and ordinary unwanted contents can form a domestic load.The household guide provides a reference within its combined limits. The complete contents and route establish the proposed removal, with heavier boxed possessions identified alongside the larger furniture.
Business equipmentAn office may produce devices, desks, chairs and packaging that resemble domestic items.The commercial or equipment-focused enquiry receives its relevant quotation. The household minimum does not become a business tariff solely because a device or chair looks familiar.
Refurbishment debrisRubble, timber or plasterboard differs from ordinary room contents.Building waste follows weight-based guidance through the relevant service. Naming those materials separately keeps the proposed furniture quotation from concealing another load requiring assessment.
Origin and material establish the relevant quote

Frequently asked questions

What is the electrical bank’s maximum item size?

Lewisham publishes28 cm by23 cm for its small-electrical banks. A larger item needs the appropriate alternative recycling or collection arrangement for its dimensions and material.

Can loose batteries go in those banks?

The council lists batteries among the bank exclusions, alongside light bulbs and vapes. Those materials follow their appropriate separate routes rather than a general small-electrical deposit.

Can a large television leave with a cabinet?

Both can be identified in the collection enquiry. The quotation considers their size, location and removal route, with the television remaining identifiable as equipment within the proposed load.

Does the textile bank accept all soft furnishings?

Lewisham’s textile guidance excludes items including duvets, pillows and cushions. A clothing bank is not a general destination for every fabric-covered household object.

Can some working devices remain in the room?

Yes. The removal list identifies the unwanted contents leaving. Equipment and furniture being retained remain outside that collection, even when stored nearby.
