Common questions

Rubbish removal or a skip bin: which is cheaper?

If you can load it yourself over a few days, a skip is usually cheaper per cubic metre. If you want it gone in one visit with zero lifting, hand-loaded removal wins.

What items cost extra to dispose of?

Mattresses, tyres, e-waste and chemicals carry per-item disposal fees at most transfer stations, and removalists pass those through.
