Folkestone & Hythe District Council offers Folkestone & Hythe District Council provides a chargeable bulky waste collection service., which is cheaper per item but requires you to move everything to the kerbside and wait for the scheduled date. We collect from inside the property, usually same or next day, and provide a waste transfer note.
