Guidance
Getting rid of flood damaged bulky items
If you do not have insurance and need assistance with the collection of flood damaged bulky items from your home, please contact floodrisk@herefordshire.gov.uk
Check that your items are eligible under the bulky items service, such as furniture and appliances. 12 items maximum per collection.
Reusing and disposing of sandbags
Dry out sandbags and store them in a shed, garage or under cover so you can use them again. If you cannot store them, open them up and spread the sand on your garden if you have one. You can then treat the sacks as normal waste. If the sand or bags are contaminated, please dispose of them responsibly. Contact our Environmental Health team for advice if you are unsure, email ethelpline@herefordshire.gov.uk or call 01432 261761.
