Great service from Tom and Damien today. They came to remove a bin shelter shed. They were friendly and efficient and I’m very happy with the job they did, thanks!

Why Choose Us for bulky waste collection in Formby?
We Collect From Inside
Unlike the council, which requires items to be placed at the curbside, our team comes directly into your lounge, kitchen or upstairs bedrooms to safely remove bulky items for you. You avoid the stress and heavy lifting altogether.
Protection & Care
We understand that many Formby properties feature premium interiors, block paving and high-value driveways. We take extra care during every collection, using protective equipment where necessary to safeguard flooring, walls, doorways and outdoor surfaces.
Fast Response Times
We offer same-day bulky waste collections when you call early. This is ideal if you are expecting a new sofa or American fridge freezer delivery and need the old item removed quickly.
A Smart Alternative to Skip Hire
Traditional skips can be difficult on sandy surfaces and gated driveways, often causing damage to lawns or paving. However, our highly mobile Wait & Load van service provides a faster and cleaner solution, allowing us to remove waste efficiently without leaving a lasting footprint behind.
The Rubbish Removers vs. Sefton Council Bulk Collection
| Feature | The Rubbish Removers | Sefton Council |
|---|---|---|
| Collection Point | Any room, including upstairs | Curbside only (You drag it out) |
| Speed | Same-day or within 24 hours | Rigid collection rules and booking required |
| Heavy Lifting | 2-man team included | Zero assistance |
| Item Limits | We take multiple items or full loads | Strict item limits |
What We Take
- Household Furniture: Sofas, sectionals, chesterfields, recliners, wardrobes and also heavy dining tables
- Beds & Mattresses: King-size memory foam mattresses, divan bases, headboards as well as the heavy bed frames
- White Goods: American-style fridge freezers, chest freezers, washing machines as well as any heavy appliances
- Estate Clearances: Full property contents, heavy antique furniture and also general household rubbish
- Commercial Bulky Waste: Office desks, filing cabinets, shop fittings, commercial seating, and other heavy business waste items.
Typical Load Sizes & Pricing Guide
– Single Item Collections: Prices start from £80 + VAT, making this the ideal option for removing a standalone bulky item such as an American fridge freezer, heavy mattress or corner sofa.
– Quarter Van Load: This option holds approximately 20–30 bin bags or 2–3 cubic yards of waste. It is perfect for clearing a box room or removing a small amount of unwanted household items.
– Half Van Load: Our half van load service holds around 6 cubic yards or 50–60 bin bags of waste. This offers a similar capacity to a standard 6-yard builders’ skip, but without permit fees or heavy metal skips damaging your sandy driveway.
– Full Van Load: Our full van load service provides 12–14 cubic yards of capacity, equivalent to more than 100 bin bags or roughly two standard 8-yard skips. It is ideal for full estate clearances, large furniture removals or major home renovation projects.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you take large or awkward items like American fridges and corner sofas?
Yes. We regularly remove large American fridge freezers, corner sofas and other awkward bulky items. Our experienced local teams have the right vehicles and equipment to handle them safely and efficiently.
Do I need to get the item to the ground floor?
No. Our fully insured two-man team collects bulky items from upstairs bedrooms, cellars and living rooms. You do not need to risk injury or struggle with any heavy lifting yourself.
Is your disposal legal?
Absolutely. We are fully licensed by the Environment Agency (CBDU409710) and provide a Waste Transfer Note upon completion. You can be confident that all waste is disposed of legally and responsibly.
Does Sefton Council collect from inside my house?
No. Sefton Council operates a strict curbside-only collection policy. However, this can be extremely difficult for Formby residents with long driveways, gated properties or limited mobility. Our team, instead, collects directly from inside your home.
I have a sandy driveway and tight security gates in Formby, can you still help?
Yes. We understand that many Formby homes have narrow gated access and sandy driveways where heavy skips can sink or cause damage. Our mobile van collection service offers a far more practical and convenient solution.
Can I take my own bulky waste to the Altcar Road tip?
You can, but the Altcar Road recycling centre has strict “no trade” policies and can become very busy. Borrowed vans are often questioned or refused entry, which can make the process stressful and time-consuming. Instead, let our team save you the hassle with a simple collection service.
