Liverpool City Council runs a free bulky item collection for its residents. If it fits your job, use it first. A private licensed carrier makes sense when it doesn't.

|---|---|---|

| How much | Up to 5 bulky items, 5 small electricals and 5 bags of textiles per collection | Any volume, from one item to a full house |

Why the carrier's licence protects you
Under Section 34 of the Environmental Protection Act 1990, householders have a duty of care to pass their waste only to an authorised carrier. If you hand your rubbish to someone without a licence and it gets fly-tipped, the council can trace it back to you.
Check any carrier in 60 seconds
- Ask for their waste carrier registration number before you book.
- Search it on the Environment Agency public register at environment.data.gov.uk.
- Confirm the registration is Upper Tier, current, and in the same business name.
- Ask for a waste transfer note or receipt naming the business and where the waste is going.
Red flags when hiring someone for rubbish removal
- Cash only, no business name and no receipt
- Can't or won't give a waste carrier registration number
- A price far below every other quote for the same load
- Advertises only on social media with no traceable business details
- Says fridges, TVs or paint can go in with general waste
Every carrier on JunkBid has their Upper Tier licence checked before quoting.

Rubbish removal in Liverpool: common questions
Is Liverpool's council bulky waste collection free?
Yes, for Liverpool City Council residents. You can book up to five bulky items, five small electrical items and five bags of textiles per collection, left outside your home. Check liverpool.gov.uk for current terms.
What won't the council collect?
The council bulky service excludes builders' waste, garden waste, general household waste, liquids, hazardous waste and gas cylinders. A licensed private carrier can quote for most of these.
How much does JunkBid cost?
Getting quotes is free and carries no obligation. If you accept a quote, you pay a 10% deposit through JunkBid to confirm the booking, then pay the balance directly to the carrier.
How do I know the carrier is licensed?
Before a carrier can quote on JunkBid, we check their Upper Tier Waste Carrier Licence on the Environment Agency public register. You can check any carrier yourself at environment.data.gov.uk.
Can you take fridges, freezers and TVs?
These are WEEE items and fridges contain refrigerant gases, so they need specialist handling and cannot go in with general waste. List them in your job details so carriers can confirm they can take them.
What happens if my rubbish is fly-tipped after collection?
Under the householder duty of care you can be held responsible if you used an unlicensed carrier. Using a registered carrier and keeping a receipt or waste transfer note is your proof that you met that duty.
