Important Information About Bulky Collection Payments

We are aware that some residents have been contacted by individuals claiming to be working on behalf of the Council and asking for payment via text message, WhatsApp, or by knocking on doors.

Please be assured that Oldham Council will never ask for payment by text message, WhatsApp, or in person at your door. The only time you will be asked to make a payment for a bulky waste collection is when you call us directly to book the service.

If you are ever unsure about someone claiming to be from Oldham Council, please contact our helpline on 0161 770 7007 for advice and reassurance.

Bulky Bob’s delivers a bulky household waste collection service on behalf of Oldham Council.
