Collection points
There are collection points on most estates for unwanted large items. You can contact our team by calling 0800 028 2 028 or on emailing environment@lewishamhomes.org.uk, if you’re not sure where your collection point is.
Please remember, the service is only for Lewisham Homes’ residents in blocks of flats. If you live in a house or a street property, you need to take any bulky items to the Reuse and Recycling Centre or arrange for Lewisham Council to collect them. If you leave items at a bulk collection point, we’ll consider it to be illegally dumped waste or fly-tipping.
White goods
We now collect white goods such as fridges, freezers and washing machines too. Sometimes this will be on a different day to other bulky items.
Other electrical items
You must not dump hazardous electrical items like televisions, stereos or mobile phones at bulk points. They need to be taken to Lewisham Council’s Reuse and Recycling Centre located in New Cross. Some of the smaller electrical items (not large things like TVs) can be put into special bins at one of the Council’s local sites.
Never dump these items as these can be particularly hazardous. We will treat these items as illegally dumped waste and you could face prosecution or other legal action if you dispose of this type of waste in the wrong way.
Free mattress collection
Lewisham Council offers a free mattress collection service for all residents.
