What we take

If it fits on the truck, we can usually take it

Tell us what’s going when you ask for a quote. A list or a few photos is enough.

Furniture and bulky items

Sofas, beds, wardrobes, tables, bookcases and anything too big for the bin chute or the council’s bulky waste slot.

Mattresses

Single to super king. They go to specialist recycling, so we’ll include them as a separate item in your price.

White goods and electricals

Fridges, freezers, washing machines, TVs and small appliances, all recycled as WEEE.

About WEEE

Garden waste

Branches, hedge cuttings, turf, pots and old garden furniture from balconies, roof terraces and gardens.

DIY and renovation rubble

Old kitchens and bathrooms, plasterboard, tiles, timber and bagged rubble from a refurbishment.

General clear-outs

Boxes, bags, storage cupboard contents and everything else from a spring clean.

How it works

You point. We lift, load and sweep up.

You don’t need to carry anything downstairs. Our crew comes in, takes everything out through stairs, lifts and corridors, loads it straight onto the caged tipper and leaves the space swept.

Because we load and go, there’s no skip outside your building and no skip licence to arrange.

  • Priced by volumeYou pay for the space your rubbish takes up, plus any items that need special handling. You get the price before we arrive.
  • Stairs and flats includedTop-floor flats, narrow stairwells and estate walkways are all part of the job.
  • Recycled where possibleMetal, wood, electricals and cardboard are separated so less goes to landfill.

City residents

Flats and estates across the Square Mile

Most homes in the City are flats, on estates like the Barbican, Golden Lane and Middlesex Street, or in converted buildings around Smithfield, Fleet Street and Aldgate. That usually means lifts, long corridors, shared entrances and an estate office with its own rules.

Tell us your block, floor and any estate booking rules when you ask for a quote. We’ll plan the collection so the lift is free and nothing is left in shared areas.

Why not leave it out for the council?

Council bulky waste collections have their own rules on what they take, how much and when. If you need it gone on a set day, it won’t fit in the communal bins, or you can’t carry it down yourself, we can help.

Check who takes your rubbish

Householders have a legal duty of care too. If your rubbish is fly-tipped by someone you paid to remove it, you can be fined. Before you hand it over, ask for the collector’s waste carrier registration and check it on the Environment Agency’s public register.

We dispose of everything at licensed facilities and give you a waste transfer note for the collection.

FAQ

Questions we get asked

How is rubbish removal priced?

By volume: how much space your rubbish takes up on the vehicle. Items that need specialist recycling, such as mattresses and fridges, may cost a little more, and we’ll tell you up front.

Do I need to carry everything downstairs?

No. We do all the lifting and carrying, from any floor, and sweep up afterwards.

Do I need to be at home?

Not always. If we can get access and you’ve told us exactly what’s going, we can do the job while you’re out.

Do you need a parking permit or skip licence?

No skip licence is needed because we load straight onto our vehicle. Let us know about any parking or estate access rules and we’ll plan around them.

Do you take sofas and armchairs?

Yes. Upholstered seating can contain persistent organic pollutants (POPs), so it has to be kept separate from other waste and sent for the right treatment. Mention it when you book.

Can you clear a whole flat?

Yes. See flat and house clearance for full and part clearances, including probate.
