Bulky uplift service returns for Fife households

Fife Council's bulky / special item uplift service is back up and running.

The aim is to help residents get rid of unwanted household waste built up over lockdown.

The service can be booked online, but it will only operate initially on Saturdays, from June 6.

Councillor Ross Vettraino, who convenes the environment committee, said: “We are pleased to confirm the return of our special item collection service. This waste collection service can now be booked online .

"We anticipate that initial demand for this service will be high, so please only book a bulky uplift if you have waste that poses a health or fire risk and cannot safely be stored at home.”

This online service is an easy way to arrange the collection of unwanted items and offers an alternative to booking a slot at one of the council's open recycling centres.

The council is also advising local people to see if any item can be reused first, before it is uplifted

While I have your attention, I also have an important request to make of you. In order for us to continue to provide high quality and trusted local news on this free-to-read site, I am asking you - wherever possible and providing it is safe for you to do so - to also please purchase a copy of our newspapers; the Fife Free Press, Fife Herald, St Andrews Citizen, East Fife Mail and Glenrothes Gazette.

Inevitably falling advertising revenues will start to have an impact on local newspapers and the way we continue to work during this period of uncertainty.

The support of our readers has never been more important as we try to make sure that we keep you connected with your community during this time. But being your eyes and ears comes at a price. We need your support more than ever to buy our newspapers during this crisis.

Our team of trusted reporters are working incredibly hard behind the scenes - from kitchen tables and spare bedrooms - to look at how we can do this, and your continued support of our newspapers across Fife will help to protect their viability in the days and weeks ahead.
