Trimobile: collecte mobile des petits encombrants
A truck that parks at published spots and takes small bulky items, small electricals, paint, batteries, gas bottles and extinguishers, and textiles and shoes, which the fixed yards refuse.
Right for you if
- Textiles, small electricals and paint, if the calendar suits you.
- It has to cost nothing.
- You can get it there under your own steam.
- You want to turn up without booking.
Look elsewhere if
- You have no way of getting it there.
- You need it outside the months it runs.
- It is business waste.
- It is more than a household quantity.

Where your things go
A named destination is worth more than a stated intention, and both are worth more than silence. This is the row to read before you book: if your item's row is empty, ask them on the phone and tell us what they say.

Does it actually work
The part no company website tells you. Some of this comes from our checks, some from readers who used the service, and where nobody has told us yet, it says so.
