Local options for Caterham & Coulsdon

Useful answers, local options and the details to check.

Do Caterham and Coulsdon use the same bulky scheme?

No. Caterham’s bulky service is provided by Tandridge; Coulsdon’s is provided by Croydon. Check the authority for your full address before paying or using a nearby town’s disposal advice.

Will Tandridge empty a garage or carry items downstairs?

No. Tandridge says it does not offer a property clearance or assisted bulky collection. Its service is for eligible items presented at the property edge, not an indoor keep-and-remove job.

What is the current fridge situation in Caterham?

Tandridge currently says fridge/freezer bookings are unavailable because specialist treatment capacity is limited. It lists retailer take-back, recycling centres and licensed carriers as alternatives; check current availability for your unit.

Can a Coulsdon council booking include soil and rubble?

Croydon excludes construction materials including earth, soil, rubble and plasterboard from bulky collection. Use the correct receiving option or ask for a material-specific private assessment.

Official guidance: Croydon: accepted and excluded bulky items

What access details help a CR3 or CR5 enquiry?

Send the exact postcode plus stairs, narrow side access and the proposed lawful loading point. Shared postal prefixes do not establish council boundaries or confirm a collection slot.

Private collection: what is agreed?

Show any steps between the property, garden and road, and describe whether the load is above or below the parking point. Include a full photograph of bulky furniture before trying to move it yourself. Give the precise postcode because council services and collection arrangements differ across this area.

We travel to the agreed address. Send the postcode, item photos, access route and preferred timing; no town branch, completed local job or guaranteed same-day slot is implied.

Local planning

Before the visit

Can you collect at my address in Caterham & Coulsdon?

Send the full postcode and load details. The team confirms route suitability, access and the earliest agreed collection date. A town name or postcode district alone is not a confirmed booking.

Can items be carried from inside the property?

Subject to safe access and the agreed quote. Tell us the floor level, lift access, stairs and the distance to legal loading. You do not need to move a heavy item alone just to request a quote.

Is there a fixed local price?

No universal town price is claimed. The load, weight, waste type, carrying and access determine the quote. Send photographs for the actual job.
