Mixed Household Waste Removal
At House Clearance, we provide a professional, fully compliant mixed household waste removal service for properties across the UK. This service is designed for situations where waste cannot be easily separated and includes a combination of general household items, bulky waste, and everyday non-hazardous materials.
Whether you are clearing a property, renovating, or simply dealing with accumulated clutter, our experienced teams remove mixed waste safely, efficiently, and lawfully—saving you time while protecting you from legal and environmental risk.
What Is Mixed Household Waste Removal?
Mixed household waste removal refers to the collection and disposal of different types of non-hazardous domestic waste in a single load. This often includes furniture, bagged waste, broken items, and general contents that are not suitable for standard kerbside collections.
Because mixed waste requires correct sorting and authorised disposal, it must be handled by a licensed waste carrier. Our service ensures all waste is processed responsibly and in line with UK regulations.

How Our Mixed Waste Removal Service Works
We follow a straightforward process to ensure clarity and efficiency from start to finish.
Step 1: Initial Assessment
We assess the type and volume of waste, along with access to the property. Photos can help us provide an accurate quotation.
Step 2: Fixed Quotation
You receive a transparent price covering labour, loading, transport, recycling, and disposal—no hidden fees.
Step 3: Collection & Clearance
Our trained team arrives on time, removes all agreed waste, and leaves the area tidy.
Step 4: Sorting & Compliant Disposal
Waste is transported by a licensed carrier and sorted at authorised facilities to maximise recycling.
Transparent Pricing with No Hidden Charges
Pricing for mixed household waste removal is based on volume, weight, ease of access, and labour required. This approach is often more cost-effective than skip hire, especially for mixed loads.
All quotes are fixed and include every aspect of the service. There are no additional permit costs, fuel charges, or overfill penalties.
Why Professional Mixed Waste Removal Is Better Than DIY
DIY disposal and council collections are often limited, time-consuming, and restrictive.
- No need to sort waste yourself
- No repeated trips to recycling centres
- No council restrictions on item types
- No risk of incorrect or illegal disposal
Professional removal offers speed, convenience, and legal protection—particularly for larger or mixed waste loads.
Legal Compliance & Duty of Care
UK law places a Duty of Care on anyone producing or disposing of waste. This duty continues until the waste is properly treated at an authorised facility.
House Clearance is a licensed and fully insured waste carrier. All collections are documented, ensuring your waste is handled lawfully and responsibly from collection to disposal.
Recycling-First & Landfill Reduction
We operate a recycling-first approach. Mixed waste is sorted at licensed facilities, with recyclable materials separated for recovery.
This significantly reduces landfill use and supports sustainable waste management. Responsible disposal is a core part of our professional standards.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does mixed household waste removal cost?
The cost depends on the volume and type of waste, access to the property, and labour required. We provide fixed quotations based on these factors, covering collection, transport, recycling, and disposal. There are no hidden fees, ensuring clear and predictable pricing.
Do you offer same-day mixed waste removal?
Same-day or next-day collections are often available, subject to location and availability. This is ideal for urgent clearances, property handovers, or renovation deadlines. Contacting us early improves the chances of rapid scheduling.
Is mixed household waste removal legally compliant?
Yes. We are a licensed waste carrier and fully compliant with UK waste regulations. This ensures your Duty of Care obligations are met and protects you from legal liability.
What happens to the waste after collection?
Waste is taken to authorised facilities where it is sorted for reuse and recycling. Recyclable materials are recovered wherever possible, with only non-recyclable waste sent to landfill.
How does mixed waste removal differ from skip hire or council collection?
Skip hire requires permits, space, and manual loading, while council collections are limited and slow. Mixed household waste removal includes labour, flexible scheduling, and full disposal management, making it faster and more convenient.
