Or load it yourself: wait and load
About 25 to 30 bin bags, or the waste from a small bathroom strip-out.
About the same as a 6-yard skip, without a skip sitting on the road.
Builders' waste after a refit, a shop strip-out or a big flat clear-out.
The whole truck: site clear-ups, office strip-outs, large garden and shed jobs.
Sizes are a guide and the choice is yours. If you reach your space or time on the day, more is £54 per cubic yard or £30 per 15 minutes, and you can pay for it online on the spot.

Rather ask first?
Tap a few answers about the job and add a photo or two. We come back with an estimate by phone, text, WhatsApp or email, usually the same working day.
- A photo is the quickest way to an accurate estimate.
- The estimate is based on what you tell us and your photos. If the job turns out different on the day, such as more waste or harder access than described, we agree any change with you before we start.
- No obligation, and nothing to pay until you book.
- Awkward access, mixed waste or a job that isn't on the list: this is the form for it.
Questions people ask
How is a man and van different from a skip?
Nothing sits outside your house, there's no permit, and our crew does the lifting. You pay for the items you send rather than a whole skip.
Why does the licence matter?
If your waste is fly-tipped, you can be fined even though you paid someone to take it. A registered carrier and a transfer note are your proof you did it properly.
How much fits in the truck?
A full truck is about 14 cubic yards, roughly two 6-yard skips. If you have that much and people to load it, wait and load by the truck load usually works out cheaper than listing every item.
When can you collect?
Item collections run on our Tuesday and Thursday rounds, booked by 4pm the working day before. The soonest is the next round you can make. Pick the day when you book and we text you a two-hour arrival window.
Is there a base fee?
On item collections, £60 once per visit gets the crew and van to you; every item is then charged at its collection rate. The list price of an item is simply its rate plus that fee, so a mattress on its own is £95 and a second mattress in the same booking is £35. Wait and load, skips, skip bags and the grab lorry are set prices with no base fee.
Who does the loading?
It depends which you book. On an item collection our crew loads it: leave it out the front or somewhere easy to reach, or add carrying out from inside at £72 an hour. On wait and load our driver brings the truck and helps, but you supply the help and do the loading, and the truck waits up to 15 minutes for a quarter load, 30 for a half load, 45 for a three-quarter load and 60 for a full load.
When do I pay?
Payment is taken by card when we confirm your booking, by phone or a secure payment link. Trade accounts are invoiced monthly on 14-day terms once agreed in writing.
