Clear pricing, great value
We run larger vehicles than most of our local competitors, so we can carry more rubbish in fewer trips. That means a lower price per tonne and a smaller carbon footprint. It's a win-win.
| Mini charge | a few items | £50 - £120 |
| Half load | one standard skip | £220 |
| Full load | two standard skips | £420 |
| Extra weight | per tonne | £150 |
| Cancellation charge | without notice | £120 |
Prices do not include VAT.
We only charge you for the rubbish we take away, so you never overpay. If the volume is between price points, we charge accordingly.
Our price includes loading by a two-man team for up to one hour. If you need more manpower, or more time, we can provide it.
Extras
Not all rubbish is equal. Some items incur an extra charge owing to the additional processing required to recycle them.
| Fridges | depending on size | £50 - £350 |
| Mattresses | per item | £40 |
| TVs/monitors | per item | £20 |
| Persistent Organic Pollutants | see below | priced individually |
Persistent Organic Pollutants or POPs are typically found in domestic upholstered furniture and some electronic equipment. You can find detailed information about disposing of POPs here.
