100% recommended - 46 reviews Licensed carrier Same-day where possible Fixed price, no call-out fee

Rubbish removal the way it should work: you ring or send a photo, we tell you a price, and then we turn up and clear it. We do the carrying, the loading and the disposal, and the number we quoted is the number you pay.

What it costs

Load Roughly what fits Price
Bagged waste Household waste, bagged and ready from £3 a bag
Fridge or freezer Per item from £15
Quarter load 12–15 bin bags, or a small bedroom Send a photo
Half load A garage, a small garden, two rooms of furniture Send a photo
Three-quarter load A large garage or a full garden strip Send a photo
Full load A house clearance or a big builders job Send a photo

Send one photo and you will have a fixed figure back, usually the same day – and that figure is the one you pay. How the load sizes work.

What is included – and what is not added on

Included in every price: collection, all the loading and carrying, transport, disposal at a permitted site, a sweep up afterwards, and written confirmation of what we took if you want it.

Not added on afterwards: call-out fees, stair charges, carrying charges, fuel surcharges, or a “gate fee” discovered at the tip. Some of the bigger operators covering this area advertise a micro load at £25 and then add nearly £60 as a call-out. Others charge £10 a flight of stairs and £30 for carrying more than ten metres. We do not do any of that, and we think it is a poor way to treat people.

We take it from where it is

Upstairs, in the loft, down the cellar, at the bottom of the garden, behind a locked garage door. The price is the same. This is the single biggest practical difference between us and a council bulky collection – every council in this area will only take what you have already carried out to the kerb yourself.

Same-day collection

Ring before midday and there is a good chance we can clear it that afternoon, particularly in Machen, Bedwas, Trethomas, Caerphilly and Risca – we are minutes away. Cardiff, Newport, Penarth and Barry are a daily run. If we cannot get to you today, we will say so rather than leave you waiting in.

What we take

  • General household waste and black bags
  • Furniture, beds, wardrobes and white goods
  • Sofas, armchairs and mattresses
  • Fridges, freezers and electricals
  • Garden waste, soil, turf and decking
  • Rubble, tiles, brick and hardcore
  • Old kitchens, bathrooms and flooring
  • Shed and garage clear-outs
  • Office and shop furniture
  • Loft and cellar contents

What we cannot take

  • Asbestos of any kind
  • Gas bottles and cylinders
  • Chemicals, solvents, oils and fuel
  • Tyres
  • Clinical or medical waste

Ring us anyway if you have got any of those and we will tell you who locally does handle it.

Where your rubbish actually goes

Straight to landfill is the lazy answer and the expensive one – Landfill Disposals Tax in Wales is £130.75 a tonne at the standard rate for 2026–27, which is considerably higher than England. So there is every reason to sort a load properly, and we do.

Metal, wood, cardboard, plastics, textiles and electricals are separated for recycling. Green waste goes for composting. Fridges go to a permitted facility for degassing, and upholstered furniture goes down the separate POPs route. What genuinely cannot be reused or recycled goes to a permitted disposal site, and we can show you the paperwork.

FAQs

Questions we get asked

How much does rubbish removal cost?

Bagged household waste is from £3 a bag and fridges and freezers from £15 an item. Anything larger is priced by how much space it takes up in the van, so send one photo and you will have a fixed figure back, usually the same day. Every price includes us doing all the loading and the disposal, and there is no call-out fee on top.

How do I know what size load I have got?

Send a photo - stand back far enough to get it all in one shot. We will tell you exactly which band you are in and what it costs. As a rough guide, a quarter load is about 12 to 15 filled bin bags, and a half load is a typical single garage.

Do I need to put it outside first?

No. We take it from wherever it is - upstairs, the garden, the loft, a locked garage - for the same price.

Can you come the same day?

Often, particularly in the Caerphilly area. Ring before midday and we will tell you straight away whether we can fit you in this afternoon.

Do you charge extra for stairs?

No. Some firms in this area charge £10 a flight and £30 for carrying over ten metres. Our quoted price is the price, wherever it is in the property.

What happens to the rubbish after you take it?

It gets sorted. Metal, wood, cardboard, plastics, textiles and electricals go for recycling, green waste goes for composting, fridges go to a permitted degassing facility and upholstered furniture goes down the separate POPs route. Only what genuinely cannot be reused or recycled goes for disposal, at a permitted site.

Need it gone? We will take it.

Send a photo on WhatsApp and you will have a fixed price back, usually within the hour. No visit needed, no obligation.
