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.

Not documented yet. This operator has not published what happens to each kind of item, and we have not been able to establish it from anywhere else. That is the gap, stated rather than hidden. If you ask them, 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.

What happens to it

  • Recycled
  • Broken down for materials

This describes the route the item takes, as the operator states it. We do not claim a recovery rate we have not seen evidence for.

What readers told us

Used them recently?

How long you waited, what they refused, whether anyone picked up the phone. Those are the three facts no website publishes and the ones the next reader needs.
