Colchester Borough Council have advised that they will collect household items from a number of locations throughout 2014 as part of the Attended Freighter Service.

You can use this service to dispose of small loads of household items which are not collected as part of your regular kerbside collection. Please don’t use this service to dispose of items which can be recycled, although you can bring garden waste separately which will be composted.
