Are we the right fit?

Built for commercial waste, the honest version.

A great fit if you're a...

  • Cafe, restaurant, takeaway or bar
  • Shop, salon, clinic or studio
  • Office, co-working space or serviced apartment
  • Builder, shopfitter or refurb crew clearing a site
  • Warehouse, unit or small chain with regular waste

Probably not your cheapest option if...

  • You're a household clearing one or two bin bags
  • You need a single mattress or sofa gone
  • You're after a free council collection
  • You want the lowest price over reliability

If that second list is you, a council bulky collection or a man-and-van app will likely be cheaper, no hard feelings. If it's business waste, read on.

How much have you got?

Size your load three ways.

Cubic yards, bin bags, or something you can picture. Slide to your rough amount.

Simple, low pricing

Priced by size, starting low.

Single items, like one pallet, from £25 + VAT. Mini loads from £75 + VAT. Larger loads are priced by size and we tell you the exact figure up front, no call-out fee on top, no mileage, no skip permit.

Some items need specialist disposal, plasterboard, insulation, fridges and electricals (WEEE), and upholstered seating (POPs), and carry a surcharge we'll confirm with your quote. Just flag them when you book.
What we take

General commercial waste and dry mixed recycling.

Office and shop clearance

Furniture, fittings, stock, packaging.

Hospitality waste

Cafe, restaurant and bar general waste.

Dry mixed recycling

Card, paper, plastics, cans, recovered.

Light refurb and fit-out

Strip-out debris, timber, fixtures.

Bulky items

Desks, chairs, shelving, broken furniture.

End-of-lease clear-outs

Whole-unit clearances, retail hand-backs.

What we can't take: asbestos, hazardous waste, chemicals, soil and gas bottles (these need a specialist). Pure heavy rubble on its own is usually cheaper by skip. Glass in volume needs its own dedicated stream, tell us your volumes and we'll advise. If any turn up hidden in a load, we document them and bill the specialist disposal cost back, cheaper to flag upfront.

1

Tell us what you've got

Same-day if you book before noon. We reply within the hour in working hours.

3

FAQs

Commercial rubbish removal, answered.

How much does commercial rubbish removal cost in London?
Single items, like one pallet, start at £25 + VAT. Loads start at £75 + VAT and are priced by size. Use the estimator above, or tell us what you've got for an exact price.
What's your minimum charge?
Single items, like one pallet, start at £25 + VAT. For loads, our mini load is £75 + VAT, then priced by size. For a single bag of household waste a council collection may still be cheaper.
Can you collect the same day?
Yes, book before noon on a working day and we'll collect the same day; otherwise next-day.
Which areas of London do you cover?
We cover all of Greater London, every postcode inside the M25. Tell us where you are and we'll confirm a collection slot.
Are you a licensed waste carrier?
Yes, registered with the Environment Agency, carrier licence CBDU466346. Every collection comes with a Waste Transfer Note.
Will I get a Waste Transfer Note?
Yes, with every collection, emailed the same day, your legal Duty of Care record. Recurring customers can add our Annual Waste Transfer Note Service, one document covering the year.
What types of waste do you take?
General commercial waste and dry mixed recycling: office and shop clearances, hospitality waste, light refurbishment debris, furniture, fittings and packaging.
What can't you take?
Asbestos, hazardous waste, chemicals, soil and gas bottles, those need a specialist, and we'll point you to one. Pure heavy rubble on its own is usually cheaper by skip.
Do you take glass?
Glass in volume needs its own dedicated collection stream, tell us your volumes and we'll advise.
Do you do household or domestic rubbish removal?
We're a commercial and trade service. We'll handle a one-off domestic clearance, but for a few bags a council bulky collection will be more economical.
How is this cheaper or better than a skip?
No permit, no licence, no skip sitting on the street overnight. Our van comes to you, the waste is loaded, and it leaves with us, usually inside an hour on site.
Do I need a permit?
No. We use your loading area or a kerbside spot, no skip permit or road licence needed.
What's the difference between "we load" and Wait and Load?
With our standard service the crew loads the van for you. With Wait and Load you load it while the driver waits, which is cheaper, from £160 + VAT.
Can your crew do the loading?
Yes, that's our standard service; the price already includes the crew loading the van. Heavy or awkward items that need two people are a quick phone quote.
How much fits in a load?
A full van holds a big single load, and a half-van about half that. Not sure? Tell us roughly what you've got and we'll size it.
What happens to the waste, is it recycled?
We divert 98% from landfill: recyclables are recovered and the rest goes to energy-from-waste, through our licensed disposal and recycling partner.
Do you offer regular or recurring collections?
Yes, daily, weekly or scheduled collections for businesses, plus trade bag and bin services. Tell us your pattern and we'll set it up.
Do you collect trade waste bags?
Yes, a competitively priced trade bag service for businesses without space for a wheelie bin. A minimum order applies.
How do I pay?
We confirm your price up front and take payment before collection by card or invoice link, no surprises on the day.
How quickly will you reply to my quote?
Within the hour during working hours (Mon to Fri, 9am to 5pm), with a confirmed slot and price.
Can you handle multiple loads or several sites?
Yes, multi-load and multi-site bookings get a contractor rate. Call 0207 101 4003 or tell us on the form.
Are you insured?
Yes, £5m public liability, and we're a fully licensed and registered waste carrier.
