South Lanarkshire Council Bulky Uplift in 2026
South Lanarkshire Council covers Hamilton, East Kilbride, Cambuslang, Rutherglen, Lanark, Carluke and Blantyre. Their bulky uplift service is one of the more reasonably priced in central Scotland — but lead times have crept up.
Cost in 2026
SLC charges £32 for up to 6 items in 2026 — slightly cheaper per item than most neighbouring councils. Extra items £8 each, capped at 10 per booking.
Lead time across South Lanarkshire
Typical wait in 2026 is 2–3 weeks. East Kilbride and Hamilton are the busiest depots; rural Lanark and Carluke usually shorter.
Where SLC won't collect
- Items inside the property (kerbside only)
- Builders waste and rubble
- Asbestos or chemical waste
- More than 10 items per booking
