WebSearch-only research. Prior notes said the bulky waste article was bot-blocked throughout and charges were an unconfirmed gap. This pass, search excerpts explicitly attributed a detailed price table to the council's own page at boston.gov.uk/BULKYWASTE (not just third-party aggregators), giving 1-2 items £22.10, 3 items £30.90, 4-5 items £38.60, and separate large-white-goods pricing at £33.10/£44.10, plus the over-5-items site-visit-for-quote rule. Two independent searches returned consistent figures, so marked verified true. Address and phone are still the council's general switchboard/HQ rather than a waste-specific line, as before; no dedicated waste phone number surfaced.
