Over the last two weeks we've highlighted both the challenge of fly-tipping and the positive action residents are taking to tackle it.

Thanks to our FREE bulky waste collection service and the many residents who use it responsibly, hundreds of unwanted items have been collected and disposed of properly.

Every sofa collected. Every mattress removed. Every wardrobe picked up.

That's one less item at risk of being fly-tipped.

Together, we're helping keep Lowestoft clean, welcoming and enjoyable for everyone.

Thank you for playing your part.

Last week, we asked you to guess the five items most commonly collected through Lowestoft Town Council's FREE bulky waste collection service.

Now it's time for the big reveal...

🥇 Sofas
🥈 Double mattresses
🥉 Fridge freezers
4️⃣ King-size mattresses
5️⃣ Armchairs

These are the items our collection team picks up most often from residents across the town.

The figures highlight just how important the service is in helping people dispose of large household items responsibly. Whether it's replacing old furniture, clearing space at home or getting rid of an unwanted appliance, our FREE bulky waste collection scheme offers a convenient alternative to struggling with transport or storage.

Every sofa, mattress or appliance collected through the scheme is one less item that could end up abandoned or dumped in our neighbourhoods, parks and open spaces.

Thank you to everyone who is using the service and helping to keep Lowestoft clean.
