So have I when I’ve been doing big jobs that needed them. Never had one to get rid of one bulky item though.

Always grafting and improving my home for my family. This is important to some but not others. One has to think of the folks around you and what added space and amenity means to them.
Could be much worse - I could always be a selfish RWR gammon Brexer, I guess.
NO!
Always keep home stuff separate. I have two big box files with all the home stuff. One exclusively for the two storey extension built and the other for all the rest, i.e. conservatory, new extension to replace conservatory, new fence, single storey extension, smokers canopy, landscaping I, II, III, front drive, front drainage, front planter, decking, new posh shed, re wire, new CH boiler I, new CH boiler II, new kitchen, new bathroom, new shower room, doors, windows...blah...blah...blah...
I have this theory that a homeowner needs to spend 'x' amount of money on their property each year, to maintain the status quo. And if a property is left unloved for a few decades, that amount becomes the (tidy) sum of all those years of neglect.
There are few times us van owners can look smug, when using our shed on wheels, but lugging bulky items is one of them. The other is at Christmas time, when mortals are fussing about in the rain, tying the trees on the roof.
We suffer the ignominy of the big old van throughout the year, only for some scrounging third hand 'mate' to say - 'you have a van don't you...? '.

18th came and went, likewise 19th, and today the 20th - no collection, and no apology, no excuses - nothing.
Get your hand in your pocket (extremeley unlikely) and you may have some recourse.
Beggars can't be choosers.

My hand is in my pocket already, Nosenowt, and quite deep, paying for the service. I pay council tax, in full, for the service.
Now crawl back under the rock, you climbed out from under - you nasty piece of work!
I have edited my original post in this thread, to help the hard of thinking, sad individual Nosenowt, who professes to live in a skip yard - understand that I obviously didn't imply that the collection was actually free, rather it was included as an already paid for, part of my council tax.
