Bulk waste collection in Teignmouth

### The Stuff That's Been In The Garage For Months

Old sofa. Knackered mattress. Roll of carpet from the spare room. **All sitting in your garage because you can't fit them in the car** and you keep meaning to hire a van.

Or you've tried council bulk collection. They want £40 per item and the next slot is three weeks away.

> 💡 **Pro tip:** Teignmouth recycling centre at Exton Lane requires booking. Weekend slots fill up days in advance. Weekday daytime? Usually available. I can book and go when suits you.
