Useful answers, local options and the details to check.
Which authority handles bulky items in Leatherhead and Dorking?
Mole Valley District Council provides the residential bulky service. It does not serve businesses and excludes construction/DIY waste and garden waste.
Official guidance: Mole Valley District Council bulky collections
Will Mole Valley collect items from steps or upstairs?
No. Its published rules require outside presentation, clear level access and no carrying up or down steps. Tell Shift It about your stairs and loading route when requesting a private carrying assessment.

Does a bed and mattress count as one council item?
No. Mole Valley specifically counts a bed and mattress as two items. List the mattress, base and headboard separately for any quote so the scope is clear.

Can the council collect a fridge or freezer?
Mole Valley’s current exclusions include fridges and freezers. Confirm retailer take-back or an appropriate alternative; private acceptance still depends on a suitable specialist route.

Where do I check DIY disposal near Leatherhead?
Surrey’s DIY guidance lists Leatherhead as a participating centre and distinguishes household allowances from business waste. Follow the official material and vehicle rules rather than treating a tip as unrestricted disposal.
Official guidance: Surrey County Council: construction and DIY waste
Private collection: what is agreed?
Explain the driveway entrance, any narrow lane, turning space and the distance from an outbuilding to parking. A garage or shed collection should identify old liquids and cylinders before ordinary contents are assessed. Soil, paving and concrete bases need separate photographs and quantities.
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.

Before the visit
Can you collect at my address in Leatherhead & Dorking?
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.
