Liverpool Council has ended a two-decade partnership with its bulky item collection provider.
For more than 20 years, the local authority has used Bulky Bob's 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.
However, internal emails from the local authority, seen by the ECHO, have shown that from November 7, the council and Bulky Bob's will no longer work together, ending a 22-year working relationship. In a message to fellow councillors, Cllr Liam Robinson, interim cabinet member for neighbourhoods, said Bulky Bob's were asked to price an extension to their current contract but “on this occasion, their costs did not provide best value.”
