Why do they not collect old metal washing rotary or old parasol over 6ft with metal frames
Hi Christine, we would collect this item for you but it would come under Bulky household waste collection here - https://www.preston.gov.uk/bulkywaste. This is a chargeable service and we would suggest you call 01772 906904, as it is an unusual item to identify through the online form. This wouldn't be collected with the normal collection as the item is too big to go through the wagons mechanism. Hope this answers your questions Regards Ian
