Rubbish Removal

At House Clearance, we deliver a professional, efficient, and fully compliant rubbish removal service for domestic and commercial clients across the UK. From everyday household waste to bulky items and mixed loads, our experienced teams remove unwanted rubbish safely, quickly, and responsibly.

Rubbish removal often becomes necessary at short notice—after a move, renovation, tenancy change, or clear-out. Our service is designed to remove the physical effort, uncertainty, and legal risk, while ensuring all waste is handled correctly from collection to final disposal.

What Is a Rubbish Removal Service?

Rubbish removal is the collection and lawful disposal of non-hazardous waste that cannot be managed through standard kerbside collections. This includes mixed household waste, bulky items, and general refuse from properties and sites.

Our service includes lifting, loading, transport, and disposal, carried out by a licensed and insured waste carrier. This ensures compliance with UK waste regulations and provides peace of mind that your rubbish is being handled responsibly.

We work with a wide range of clients who need reliable and flexible rubbish removal.

Homeowners clearing clutter or preparing to move
Landlords and letting agents between tenancies

Whether the job is planned or urgent, we tailor the service to your requirements.

Items We Cannot Remove

For safety and legal reasons, we cannot collect hazardous or restricted materials such as asbestos, chemicals, fuel, paint, or clinical waste. If such items are present, we will advise on appropriate specialist disposal options.

How Our Rubbish Removal Service Works

Our process is designed to be simple, transparent, and efficient.

Step 1: Assessment

We assess the type and volume of rubbish, along with access to the property. Photos can be provided to help us quote accurately.

Step 2: Fixed Quotation

You receive a clear, upfront price covering labour, transport, recycling, and disposal. There are no hidden charges.

Step 3: Collection & Removal

Our trained team arrives at the agreed time, removes all specified 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 removal pricing is based on the volume and type of waste, ease of access, and labour required. This approach ensures fairness and accuracy.

All quotations include loading, transport, recycling, and disposal. There are no permit fees, fuel surcharges, or overfill penalties, giving you complete clarity from the outset.

Why Professional Rubbish Removal Is Better Than DIY

DIY disposal and council collections can be time-consuming, restrictive, and physically demanding.

No heavy lifting or risk of injury
No repeated trips to recycling centres
No council limits on item types or volumes
No risk of incorrect or unlawful disposal

A professional rubbish removal service provides speed, convenience, and legal reassurance—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 responsibility continues until the waste reaches an authorised facility.

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 follow a recycling-first approach wherever possible. Reusable items are diverted from disposal, and recyclable materials are processed through authorised facilities.

Only non-recyclable waste is sent to landfill, reducing environmental impact. Responsible waste handling underpins every job we complete.

Experience, Training & Professional Standards

Our rubbish removal service is built on trust, experience, and accountability.

Extensive experience across domestic and commercial waste streams
Fully trained, uniformed teams
Insured operations for total peace of mind
Consistent professional standards
Clear communication and reliable scheduling

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does rubbish removal cost?

The cost depends 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 removal?

Same-day or next-day rubbish removal is often available, subject to location and availability. This is ideal for urgent clear-outs, property handovers, or renovation deadlines. Early contact improves scheduling options.

Is rubbish removal 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 removal differ from skip hire or council collection?

Skip hire requires permits, space, and manual loading, while council services are limited and slow. Rubbish removal includes all labour, flexible scheduling, and full disposal management, making it faster and more convenient.

Ben S

2025/02/02

I hired House Clearance based on their rubbish removal reviews. I read that they were cheap to hire and were often able to carry out same day clearances. I reached out to them, and they gave me a great price, and thankfully, were able to accommodate my needs.

Nelly M

I didn't want my junk going to the landfill. This rubbish removal company had ethical credentials. I have no reason to believe that most of the junk they collected from me was diverted away from the landfill.

R. Redgrave verified

2024/12/14

I gave House Clearance a detailed description of all the junk that needed collecting in the hope they'd give me an accurate quote. The quote they gave me for rubbish removal was very reasonable. I thought I'd be paying a lot more to get such a massive amount of junk cleared.
