Instead of a skip sitting on your drive or the road for days, a crew arrives at an agreed time, loads everything themselves, and takes it away in one visit. You're charged for the volume actually removed - a quarter load, half load or full load - not for a fixed skip size you might not fill, and not for a week of hire whether you need it or not. ### Who it's for We collect for homeowners clearing a room or garden, landlords between tenants, tradespeople with a van-load of offcuts and packaging, small businesses clearing a unit, and anyone who has watched a skip company quote a permit fee and a two-week lead time and decided there had to be a better way. If you've got rubbish and nowhere sensible to put a skip - tight terrace street, no driveway, residents' parking, a short-notice job - this is built for exactly that. ### When to call Call when you need rubbish gone this week, not in a fortnight. Same-day and next-day collection is often available if you call before midday; standard bookings are confirmed within 3-5 working days. This is also the right call whenever a skip isn't practical - no off-street parking, a landlord who won't authorise a skip permit application, a short lease on a property, or simply a job too small to justify a full skip hire period. ### Why professional matters A skip placed on a public highway legally requires a permit from the local council under the Highways Act 1980 - an extra cost and a delay of several days while it's processed, and you're liable if it's not lit, signed or removed on time. A load-based collection needs none of that: we park, load and leave. It also stops the common skip problem of neighbours dumping their own rubbish in yours overnight, which you'd still be charged to dispose of. Guide Pricing ## Guide prices for rubbish removal.

Skip hire looks simple until you actually try to book one - then the hidden costs and delays start stacking up. - ### Permit costs and delays Placing a skip on the road needs a council permit under the Highways Act 1980. Applications typically take several working days and cost extra on top of the skip hire fee - and you still can't put it down until it's approved. - ### Losing your driveway or parking space for a week A skip sits for the full hire period regardless of how quickly you fill it. If you're on a terrace street or have no drive, that's a parking space gone for days, and a fine risk if it obstructs the highway without a valid permit. - ### Other people's rubbish ending up in your skip Unattended skips attract fly-tippers overnight. You're charged to dispose of whatever's in it when it's collected - including items you never put there, and potentially hazardous ones. - ### Paying for space you don't fill - or overfilling it Guess the size wrong and you're either paying for empty space or being charged extra (or refused collection) for an overfilled skip that breaches the fill line. - ### Banned items causing rejected loads Mattresses, fridges, gas canisters and plasterboard are commonly banned from mixed skips. Put them in anyway and the whole load can be rejected or surcharged at the tip. - ### Unlicensed 'man with a van' operators Cheap, unregistered collectors are the most common source of fly-tipping. Under Section 34 of the Environmental Protection Act 1990, the duty of care for your waste stays with you - if it's dumped, you can be the one fined, not the driver. Our Process ## A defined sequence.Documented at every step. - STEP 01 ### Call or Enquire Tell us roughly what needs to go and where you are. We'll give you a realistic load estimate over the phone in most cases. - STEP 02 ### Confirm Access & Date We agree a collection slot - often same-day or next-day - and confirm parking and access so the crew isn't held up on arrival. - STEP 03 ### Fixed-Fee Quote You get a price before we turn up, based on load size (quarter, half or full) with any separately-handled items itemised - no surprises on the day. - STEP 04 ### We Do the Loading The crew loads everything from your house, garage, garden or driveway themselves. You don't lift a thing. - STEP 05 ### Segregation on the Spot Plasterboard, POPs-containing furniture, WEEE and anything else needing a separate route is set aside on-site rather than mixed into the general load. - STEP 06 ### Documentation You receive a Waste Transfer Note confirming lawful collection and disposal - your Section 34 duty of care discharged in writing. Why It's Worth Doing Properly ## Specific outcomes.Not vague promises. Every benefit below is something you can measure, document or hand to an insurer - not a slogan. ### No skip permit needed We collect and go - nothing sits on the road, so there's no Highways Act 1980 permit application, no fee and no waiting for council sign-off. ### You keep your driveway No skip taking up space for a week. The van is there for the loading window only, then it's gone. ### Only pay for what's taken Quarter, half or full load pricing means you're not paying for a skip size you didn't need, or refused for overfilling one you did. ### We load it, not you No dragging bags and furniture to the kerb yourself - the crew does the lifting and carrying from wherever it's stored. ### Same-week, often same-day No lead time for permits or skip-swap scheduling. Call in the morning, rubbish gone by the afternoon in many cases. ### Nothing gets dumped in it overnight Because there's no skip left unattended, there's no risk of neighbours or passers-by adding their own waste to your load. In Detail ## Methods, materialsand the situations we handle. Load-based collection isn't a lesser version of skip hire - it's a different, more flexible system. Here's exactly how loads, restricted items and paperwork are handled. ### How load sizes work We price by quarter, half and full van load rather than skip yardage. A quarter load suits a single room or a few items of furniture; a half load covers a typical garage or garden clearance; a full load handles a house-worth of general rubbish. We give a realistic estimate on the phone and confirm it on arrival before loading starts, so the price is agreed before we touch anything. ### Items we can't take in a mixed load Asbestos (bonded or friable), gas canisters, pressurised cylinders, and liquids such as paint, oil, chemicals or fuel cannot go into a general mixed load - mixing them risks contaminating the whole collection and is against the conditions of our waste carrier licence. If we spot these on arrival, they're identified, left separate and quoted for a dedicated, correctly licensed collection instead, so the rest of your rubbish still goes on schedule. ### Plasterboard - always a separate stream Plasterboard produces hydrogen sulphide gas if it's landfilled alongside biodegradable waste, so it must legally be segregated and sent to a facility that accepts it separately. We keep it apart on-site and route it accordingly - it's never mixed into a general rubbish load. ### Upholstered furniture and POPs Since 2023, upholstered domestic seating (sofas, armchairs, some mattresses) is treated as waste containing Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) from historic flame-retardant treatments, and by law it can't be mixed with general waste - it must be collected and disposed of via a specific high-temperature incineration route. We collect it as a separately identified stream, which is why it carries a per-seat surcharge rather than being folded into standard load pricing. ### Recycling diversion Loads are taken to permitted transfer stations where they're actively sorted rather than tipped straight to landfill - metals, wood, cardboard, textiles and WEEE items are pulled out for recycling or reuse wherever the material allows. We can confirm the receiving facility for any job where you need that detail for your own records. ### Transfer notes and your duty of care Every collection is accompanied by a Waste Transfer Note recording what was collected, when, by whom, and where it's going next. This is the document that discharges your legal duty of care under Section 34 of the Environmental Protection Act 1990 - keep it, because the responsibility for your waste doesn't end when the van drives off unless you can prove it went to a licensed operator. FAQ ## Questions,answered straight. Can't see your answer? Call us - no obligation. 07413 012463 Is rubbish removal cheaper than a skip?Usually, yes, once you account for the skip permit fee, the hire period, and the risk of paying to dispose of waste other people dumped in it overnight. With load-based collection you pay for the volume actually removed, and there's no permit or hire charge at all. Do I need a permit for a man and van collection?No. Permits under the Highways Act 1980 only apply to skips or containers placed on the public highway. Because we load directly from your property and leave the same day, no permit is needed. How quickly can you collect?Same-day and next-day slots are often available if you call before midday. Standard bookings are typically confirmed within 3-5 working days. What can't you take in a normal load?Asbestos, gas canisters and pressurised cylinders, and liquids such as paint, oil or chemicals can't go into a mixed load. These are identified separately and quoted for a dedicated licensed collection. Why does a sofa cost extra to remove?Upholstered furniture is legally classed as containing Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) and must be sent for high-temperature incineration rather than general recycling or landfill - a separate, more expensive disposal route, which is why it's priced per seat rather than included in load pricing. What happens to plasterboard?It's kept separate on-site and taken to a facility licensed to accept it. It can't be landfilled with general waste because it produces hydrogen sulphide gas when it breaks down alongside biodegradable material. Will I get proof my rubbish was disposed of legally?Yes. Every job includes a Waste Transfer Note confirming what was collected and where it went, which discharges your duty of care under Section 34 of the Environmental Protection Act 1990.
