Rubbish removal

Can anyone recommend a reliable company to pick up some domestic rubbish (vacuum cleaner, textiles etc.) After Ealing council closed down the Stirling Road recycling centre, I am stuck without a car and an expired driving licence!

Many thanks.  Sadly, the "textiles" are old, very dirty and rather old curtains which would not be acceptable.I have now got hold of Richmond Waste Removals who will do the job this afternoon for a very reasonable price.

TRAID will collect - have you investigated them?  Take a look at their FAQs.  I believe they do this for Hounslow as well as Ealing and other West London Waste Authority boroughs.  You may have to ask them about the vacuum cleaner -  with some of them the handle can be removed to reduce the volume.  They will take small electricals with bags of textiles (see their FAQS for what they will and won't take) - despite obviously preferring clean and in good condition clothing and linen to sell more easily they also mention working with others to repurpose other textiles.https://traid.org.uk/wlwa/https://www.ealing.gov.uk/info/201171/recycling_services/1781/electrical_and_electronic_items_recycling
