Rubbish Clearance
At House Clearance, we provide a professional, efficient, and fully compliant rubbish clearance service for homes, businesses, and managed properties across the UK. From small household clear-outs to large volumes of bulky waste, our experienced teams remove unwanted items safely and responsibly.
Rubbish can quickly become unmanageable, particularly when time is limited or access is difficult. Our role is to take that burden away—handling everything from lifting and loading to lawful disposal—while ensuring your waste is managed correctly under UK regulations.
What Is a Rubbish Clearance Service?
Rubbish clearance is the collection and removal of unwanted, non-hazardous waste from a property or site. This can include mixed household waste, bulky items, and general refuse that cannot be accommodated by standard council collections.
Our service is carried out by a licensed and insured waste carrier, ensuring all waste is transported and disposed of at authorised facilities in line with the law.

No matter the situation, we tailor our service to suit your property and timescale.

Items We Cannot Remove

How Our Rubbish Clearance Service Works
Our process is straightforward, transparent, and designed for minimal disruption.
Step 1: Initial Assessment
We assess the type and volume of rubbish, along with access requirements. Photos can help us provide an accurate quotation.
Step 2: Fixed Quotation
You receive a clear, upfront price covering labour, transport, recycling, and disposal. There are no hidden charges.
Step 3: Clearance & Removal
Our trained team arrives on time, removes all agreed rubbish, and leaves the area clean and tidy.
Step 4: Responsible Disposal
Waste is transported by a licensed carrier and processed at authorised recycling and disposal facilities.
Transparent Pricing with No Hidden Fees
Rubbish clearance pricing is based on the volume, weight, and type of waste, as well as ease of access and labour required.
Unlike skip hire, you only pay for what is removed. Our quotations include all costs—loading, transport, recycling, and disposal—without permits or overfill penalties.
Why Professional Rubbish Clearance Is Better Than DIY
DIY disposal and council services often involve restrictions, delays, and physical effort.
- No heavy lifting or risk of injury
- No repeated trips to recycling centres
- No council limits on item types or quantities
- No risk of incorrect or unlawful disposal
Professional rubbish clearance offers speed, convenience, and legal reassurance.

House Clearance is a licensed waste carrier and fully insured. All waste movements are documented, protecting you from potential fines, liability, or enforcement action.
Recycling-First & Landfill Reduction
We operate a recycling-first approach. Reusable items are diverted where possible, and recyclable materials are processed through authorised facilities.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does rubbish clearance cost?
Costs depend on the volume and type of rubbish, access to the property, and labour required. We provide fixed quotations covering collection, transport, recycling, and disposal. There are no hidden fees, allowing clear and predictable budgeting.
Do you offer same-day rubbish clearance?
Same-day or next-day rubbish clearance is often available, subject to location and availability. This is ideal for urgent clear-outs, property handovers, or renovation deadlines. Contacting us early increases scheduling options.
Is rubbish clearance legally compliant?
Yes. We are a licensed waste carrier and operate fully in line with UK waste regulations. This ensures your Duty of Care obligations are met and protects you from legal risk.
What happens to the rubbish 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 rubbish clearance differ from skip hire or council collection?
Skip hire requires permits, space, and manual loading, while council services are limited and slow. Rubbish clearance includes labour, flexible scheduling, and full disposal management—making it faster and more convenient.
