**Bulky Waste Service Updates – from April 2025 to February 2026**

The Bretton Bulky Waste Service provides a convenient way for residents to declutter their homes or garages by safely and responsibly disposing of unwanted items. However, it’s important to be aware of prohibited items that cannot be accepted, including ash, soil, bricks, rubble, stone, gravel, concrete, car parts and engine oil, sand, paint, and UPVC products.

Residents must accompany their discarded items to one of the six designated sites across Bretton during the allotted time slots and stay until their items are correctly disposed of. Leaving bulky items unattended is illegal fly-tipping and can result in prosecution and a fine.

We urge everyone to follow the Bulky Waste Process to ensure a smooth and efficient service for all.

The Bretton Parish Council would like to thank residents for utilising this service and for their efforts to reduce fly-tipping in our community. While we may not be able to eliminate it, we can certainly decrease the volume of waste left on our streets.

Below is a monthly breakdown of the volume of waste collected from April 2025 to February 2026, which equates to 166 tons:

– April 2025: 11 tons
– May 2025: 21 tons
– June 2025: 22 tons
– July 2025: 18 tons
– August 2025: 20 tons
– September 2025: 17 tons
– October 2025: 17 tons
– November 2025: 7 tons
– December 2025: 7 tons
– January 2026: 10 tons
– February 2026: 16 tons

Thank you once again for using this valuable service.

Many thanks, Bretton Parish Council
