What we clear in Bromley

Bromley’s bulky collection only takes items left at the front of your property, priced item by item, so anything that has to come out of the house is down to you or to us.

• Bromley town centre and Bickley: house clearances, furniture removal and office clearances
• Beckenham and Penge: loft and cellar clearances and flat clearances
• Orpington, Petts Wood and Chislehurst: garden clearances and shed removal
• West Wickham, Hayes and Biggin Hill: builders’ waste and old appliances

Bromley town centre is a controlled parking zone, and Orpington High Street and Bromley North Village are restricted parking zones, where loading rules apply without yellow lines, so we plan where the van stops before we come.

Next door we also cover Lewisham and Croydon.

The council’s large item collection or us?

Bromley Council prices bulky collections item by item, with a £43 minimum: for example £32.15 for a two- or three-seater sofa, £13.67 for a mattress and £30.94 for a washing machine. Items must be at the front of your property, not on the public highway, from 7am on the day, and the contractor agrees a date within 10 working days of payment (council large item page, price list). If you need it gone today, carried out from inside, or a mixed load with electricals, we collect the same day.

Churchfields Road, Waldo Road and vans

Churchfields Road Reuse and Recycling Centre, Beckenham BR3 4QY, needs a booking for every visit, with one booking per household per day and two per week, and ID showing your address. Waldo Road in Bromley has been closed for depot works and is due to reopen in November 2026, with bookings at first. Tippers, Luton vans and vehicles over 3.5 tonnes are not allowed, sign-written vehicles are turned away, and other vans may have to sign a declaration that the waste is from your own home. Commercial waste is not accepted, and DIY waste is free up to two 50-litre bags or one large item per visit, for up to four visits in four weeks, then £4 per bag or item (Churchfields Road page, vehicle rules, Waldo Road update).

Fly-tipping fines and your duty of care

Bromley issues fixed penalty notices for fly-tipping (council enforcement page). If dumped waste is traced back to your household, or you hand it to someone who is not a registered waste carrier, you can be fined up to £5,000 in a magistrates’ court (council waste carriers page). Whoever takes your rubbish away must be a registered waste carrier. We are registered with the Environment Agency (CBDU575975) and give you a waste transfer note for every job.

Parking and red routes

Suspending a parking bay in Bromley costs £40 per bay per day plus a £30 administration fee per application, with at least three working days’ notice, for up to 10 bays and 14 days (council suspensions page). The A21, from Bromley Hill out to the M25, and the A232 between Locksbottom and West Wickham are Transport for London red routes (council red routes page), so there we load from a side street.

Skip or wait and load?

A skip licence in Bromley costs £50 for two weeks, and only skip companies registered with the council can apply. A skip in a paid parking bay also needs the bay suspended, and skips on the A21 and A232 are licensed by Transport for London instead (council skip page). Our wait-and-load service needs no licence: we arrive, load and leave.
