It is the Tory Govt which is trying to reduce the size of the state.  The amount of money from Central Govt to Councils is very much reduced.  I think it has now fallen about 60%.

Many things can be recycled kerbside - mostly packaging - but also clothing and Engine Oil but you must check the instructions on how to present these. 

You can also use the free TRAID collection for clothing + some small electricals.  There are also street banks for SMALL electricals and street banks for clothing.

The British Heart Foundation will collect furniture and mattresses but they can be quite fussy and I think are often short of space.  There are also important restrictions - in particular they must be saleable and have fire labelling. There are several firms eg Dunelm who now seem to be working with them which also has probably increased their collections.

You can arrange a bulky waste collection for those things that cannot be reused through the West London Waste Authority and through the Council.  This way there should be no problem of unlicensed collectors collecting your waste and dumping it around the corner etc and you as the originator of the waste being fined as well as the unlicensed collector.

Petit Miracles in Hammersmith will often collect small pieces of furniture for upcycling and small repairs and selling on.  They teach people the skills to do this.

There is a lot of info online - and of course it is forever changing.  There really is much less need to take things to what used to be called the 'tip' because of the effort being put into reducing the amount of stuff that is sent to incineration when it has the potential to be reused.  Many older items are far superior to new ones and just need a bit of TLC to improve them.
