Bulk uplifts

You can book a bulk uplift if you live in South Lanarkshire and need us to collect large household items. This service is only for residents. Businesses, landlords, letting agents and contractors must arrange their own waste collection.

The quickest way to book is online.

You can also call us on 0303 123 1020.

Standard uplifts

A standard uplift costs £41.94 and includes up to 10 items.

You can pay by debit or credit card at the end of the online booking form.

We only collect the items you list when booking, so please check your form carefully.

Before we collect

Please read our guidance on how to prepare your items.

Make sure everything is safe, easy to reach and placed at the kerbside. We cannot collect items from inside your home.

We will not collect if the area is unsafe, for example, ungritted paths, loose pets or blocked access.

Non‑standard uplifts

Larger jobs, such as DIY waste, kitchens or bathrooms, start from £95.40.

If you need advice before booking, please call 0303 123 1020.

Collection days and delays

Some items must be collected separately, so your uplift may take place over more than one day. We will confirm this when you book.

If bad weather or vehicle issues delay your collection, we aim to return within 5 working days. Please leave your items out until we arrive.

Items we cannot collect

We cannot take: car batteries, chemicals (unless agreed), gas bottles, asbestos, oil, tyres, clinical or hazardous waste, supermarket trolleys, concrete foundations, slabs and lintels, creosote, motorised wheelchairs or fluorescent tubes.

Most of these can be taken to our household waste and recycling centres, except car tyres.

White goods, metal and glass

We collect fridges, freezers, scrap metal and wrapped glass separately for recycling. Fridges and freezers must be empty and defrosted.

Garden waste

Garden waste uplifts cost £41.94 for up to 10 items. You can book online or call us.

Changing or cancelling your booking

Use the link in your confirmation email to cancel.

To make changes, call 0303 123 1020.

Arranging a private waste collection

If you choose to use a private company instead of our bulk uplift service, make sure the waste carrier is registered before you hand anything over. This helps protect you and the environment.

Using an unregistered carrier can lead to your waste being dumped or burned illegally, which can result in fines or enforcement action.

You can check a company’s registration on the Scottish Environment Protection Agency website.

Other options

You can donate good‑quality items to local charities or use the Zero Waste Scotland re-use tool below to find an organisation that collects near you.
