Moving-day leftovers
The things that didn't make the move
Census figures show the town adding over a thousand residents in ten years, to 8,428 in 2021. These jobs come with that growth.
The old bed
Frames and mattresses you meant to sell and never did.
Furniture that doesn't fit
The sofa that won't go through the new door.
The last owner's garage
Cleared, swept out, usable things set aside.
Packaging mountains
Cardboard from new furniture, kept separate for recycling.
Replaced appliances
The fridge, freezer or washing machine the new one replaced.
The garden you inherited
Green waste and broken garden furniture in the same visit.
Getting here
The river doesn't get in the way
The road out through Whippingham to Newport never touches the Medina. Lynnbottom recycling centre is about 5.8 miles away, roughly 11 minutes in clear traffic. The Floating Bridge only matters if you've also got a job in Cowes the same day; then we plan both banks so neither depends on it.

FAQ
East Cowes questions
Short answers. If yours is not here, call or send it with your quote.
Do you need the Floating Bridge to get to me?
No. We come from Newport by road, and Lynnbottom is on the same side of the river as East Cowes.
The previous owners left things in the garage. Can you clear it?
Yes. We clear garages and sheds, sweep them out and set aside anything good enough to reuse.
Can you collect before we move in?
Yes, if someone can let us in or the items are accessible. Send photos and we'll agree a price and a time first.
Will you take packaging and cardboard?
Yes, kept separate for recycling. A small amount of flattened card can go in your own recycling collection.
When does the council collect bulky items in East Cowes?
Wednesday, the same as Ryde and Wootton. It's kerbside only, so it suits items you can carry out yourself.
