Bulky Bob's breaks silence over end of Liverpool Council contract

The furniture collection firm dumped by Liverpool Council after two decades has broken its silence on the end of the partnership.

Earlier this week, it was confirmed that the local authority was ending its agreement with Bulky Bob’s after more than 20 years working together. Since 2000, the council has used the company, part of the FRC Group, to collect and dispose of large furniture items for residents across the city.

Distinctive purple trucks have been a regular sight in wards throughout Liverpool picking up pieces from outside homes. The latest seven-year contract between the two partners ends on November 7 after they were unable to reach an agreement.
