If you live in North Lanarkshire and trying to get rid of an old sofa, it’s about to get more expensive.
North Lanarkshire Council have announced a new £80 charge for the special uplift of items containing persistent organic pollutants (POPs). These are usually found in upholstered furniture such as sofas, armchairs, and other items containing leather, foam, or synthetic leather or other fabric.
Uplift charges commence on 1st October.
