We are based in Machen, on Milton Place. If you are in the village, we are minutes away – often the same hour rather than the same day.
Being local matters more here than people think. A lot of the firms that advertise for “Machen rubbish removal” are based in Cardiff, Newport or further afield, and a job in a village of this size is a long way to come for one load. We are already here, which is why we can do small jobs at a sensible price when others will not.
What we clear in Machen
Everything a household or a business produces short of the specialist stuff: house and flat clearances, garden and garage clear-outs, builders waste and rubble, single items like sofas, mattresses, fridges and washing machines, shop and office clearances, and bagged household waste when you have simply got more than the council will take.
We cannot take asbestos, gas bottles, chemicals, oils, tyres or clinical waste. If you have got any of those, ring us anyway and we will point you at somebody who can.
What it costs in Machen
Same prices here as everywhere else we cover - we do not load a price because of your postcode.
| What you have got | Roughly | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Bagged household waste | Per bag | from £3 a bag |
| Fridge or freezer | Per item | from £15 |
| Quarter or half load | A bedroom, a garage, a small garden | Send a photo |
| Full load | A house clearance or a builders job | Send a photo |
Everything is included: we load it, we take it, we dispose of it and we do the paperwork. Send one photo and you will have a fixed price back, usually the same day. See how the load sizes work.
Your other options in Machen
We would rather you knew all of them, including the ones that do not involve paying us.
The council collection
Caerphilly County Borough Council runs a bulky waste collection at £28 for up to three items, rising to £43 for six, which is the most they will take in one collection. If you can wait for a slot and you can get the items out to the kerb yourself, it is cheaper than we are and you should use it. Where it falls down is that it is kerbside only, there is a limit on items, and the refusal list is long - no building materials, no garden waste, no tyres, no paint, no car parts.
Us
Right when it is heavy, awkward, upstairs, urgent, or on the council’s refusal list. We carry it out, you do not lift anything, and it is gone today rather than in three weeks.
Getting to you
This is our own village, so we know the lanes. The older terraces off the main road through Machen are tight for a van and the back lanes behind them are tighter still, so we will usually work from the front and carry. Lower Machen and Draethen are narrow country lanes with passing places - not a problem for us, but a genuine reason a big national outfit will quote you a long lead time or not turn up at all.
Regularly working in and around: Machen, Lower Machen, Waterloo, Draethen, Rudry and the Rhymney valley road.
