Rubbish removal in three facts
- Price: from £72 + VAT for up to about 8 bin bags, rising on a clear scale to a 14 cubic yard load. Single items are priced individually.
- Speed: weekday collections from the next day. Weekends need 48 hours notice. For the same day, use emergency collection.
- Legal & green: upper-tier registered waste carrier, a waste transfer note with every job, and sorting for reuse and recycling.
We remove rubbish for households, landlords and letting agents, offices and shops, and builders and trades across all London boroughs and into Surrey, Kent and Essex. You don't need to bag everything or bring it to the kerb. Our team carries it out from wherever it is.
Household, business and mixed rubbish
Household rubbish
Bags of general waste, clutter, old furniture, mattresses, white goods and electricals. See our house clearance page for whole properties.
Business & trade rubbish
Office and shop waste, cardboard and packaging, refit and strip-out waste. For regular pickups, see commercial waste collection.
Garden & outdoor rubbish
Green waste, old fencing, garden furniture and shed contents. See our garden waste clearance service.
Rubbish removal vs. skip hire vs. the council
Skip hire makes sense for a long project where waste builds up over weeks. A skip on the road usually needs a council permit, and you do all the loading yourself.
Council bulky-waste collections are cheap but limited to set items, often with a wait of several days. Usually the items must be outside the property.
A rubbish removal collection is usually the quickest and easiest choice for one-off clear-outs. We load from inside the property, take mixed waste in one visit, and you only pay for the volume you use.
How much does rubbish removal cost?
These are the same prices our online booking charges. Prices are per collection and exclude VAT (20% is added at checkout). Each volume includes a 30-minute labour allowance and a 200kg weight allowance, and loading is done by our team.

Why use a licensed waste carrier?
In England, householders and businesses have a legal duty of care to give their waste only to a registered waste carrier. If an unlicensed "man with a van" fly-tips your rubbish, you can be fined. Every London Waste Clearance collection comes with a waste transfer note, so you have proof your waste was handled legally.
