Allerdale Borough Council in partnership with Focsa Services provides a weekly refuse collection service from domestic properties.  

If no results are found for collections from your property, please call the customer service centre on 01900 702800.

Collection days may change during holiday periods, please consult our holiday refuse collection page for full details. Please leave bins out for collection at the edge of the property by 7.00 a.m. on day of collection.  To find out if your property is included on the garden waste and paper recycling schemes please email recycling@allerdale.gov.uk or telephone 01900 702800. A missed bin collection can be reported using the missed bin electronic form.

Rubble from domestic premises can be taken to any Household Waste Recycling Centres run by Cumbria County Council. The rubble must be bagged by the Householder and must be light enough to be lifted by one person. Private contractors who hold a Waste Carriers Licence, should be contacted for the removal of larger amounts of rubble. 

If a householder has other bulky items to be removed such as a door or windows a quotation can be given for the removal of these by Allerdale Borough Council. The items must be paid for prior to the collection being made. 

To arrange collection of bulky household items using the special collection service you can use the online form, email domestic.refuse@allerdale.gov.uk or telephone 01900 702800.
