What are metal bulky items?
This refers to bulky items made mainly of metal which, because of their size or volume, cannot be placed in your waste bin.
Curbside collection
Residents can use the collection service to dispose of certain items, provided they comply with the new terms and conditions. To do so, simply place the items at the curb on the usual collection day, leaving a space of one meter between them and the bins.
Next collection: September 9 to 12, 2025

No quantity limit: there is no limit to the number of bulky metal items that can be disposed of during each collection.
Drop-off schedule: Items must be placed at the curb no later than 7 a.m. on the morning of collection and no earlier than 7 p.m. the day before.
Dimensions and weight: Each item must weigh less than 50 kg and not exceed 3 meters on its longest side.
Location: Bulky metal items must be grouped but placed at least one meter away from the bins to avoid interfering with regular collection.
