I paid Croydon for a bulky recycling collection once. Up to 7 "pieces" was a tenner so I got 7 of the biggest moving boxes and filled them with other recycling crap. Was nice and easy.
Had some other boxes recently but don't want to keep paying a tenner each time and don't fancy fly tipping. Thought I would try to chance my arm and left one of the big boxes full of cardboard out with the usual small blue card/paper recycling box. They took it no bother.
I think so long as you don't take the piss (leave it out on the correct night and in a respectable place) and don't make their job any harder chances are they'll take it away.
