Wes and his mate worked like Trojans clearing out our shed that had been neglected for far too long! 10/10 would highly recommend them.

Very efficient service. Would highly recommend. They removed a large wardrobe and other smaller items of furniture. They even collected on a bank holiday.

Furniture Disposal in Selby is what our dedicated two-man teams do best, saving you the hassle of moving bulky items through tight spaces. Instead of dragging a heavy sofa or wardrobe out to the pavement for a restrictive council collection, our staff will collect it straight from your lounge or upstairs bedroom. We are also an Environment Agency Registered waste carrier with licence number CBDU409710, offering a fully legal and stress-free service tailored to the unique layout of Selby and its surrounding rural villages.
Whether you are navigating the traffic bottlenecks near the old toll bridge or live down a narrow country lane, The Rubbish Removers Ltd are here to help. We are also proud to be a Which? Trusted Trader as well as a Trading Standards Approved “Buy with Confidence” member, guaranteeing peace of mind with every single collection. Simply point us to what needs to go and you can book our uniformed staff directly by calling 0113 420 8477. You can also send a photo to 07802 860 731 for a rapid, free quote.

1. We Collect From Inside: Unlike North Yorkshire Council with their strict pavement only rules, we happily come right into your lounge, kitchen or upstairs bedroom to do the heavy lifting for you.
3. Protection & Care: Floors, walls and doorways are looked after carefully. We take extra care when moving bulky items through Selby’s historic medieval street layouts and tight cottage doors, ensuring zero scratches to your property.
2. Speed: Same-day options are available if you call early. If your new three-piece suite is arriving today, we can clear the old one fast, using our local knowledge to plan routes that avoid the toll bridge traffic.
4. All Styles Taken: From heavy oak wardrobes and sectionals to recliner sofas and large bed frames, we handle it all. We also guarantee a fantastic landfill diversion rate, recycling as much of your old furniture as possible.

Prices start from £80+VAT. Ideal for a standalone bulky item like a large sofa or heavy wardrobe. Cheaper and much faster than council collections.
Roughly 2-3 cubic yards. This is perfect for clearing out a box room or removing an old three-piece suite.
Roughly 6 cubic yards. In short, this is comparable capacity to a standard builders skip. Ideal for a large master bedroom clear-out with zero skip permit fees.
12-14 cubic yards. This is suitable for a full house clearance or multiple rooms of heavy furniture.
You only pay for the exact space you fill, rather than paying for fresh air in a skip. Get a free quote today by sending a photo of your furniture to 07802 860 731.
We provide expert bulky waste collection across Selby and its immediate surrounding districts. This includes:
Q: Do I need to get the item to the ground floor?
A: No, absolutely not. Our two-man team collects from upstairs bedrooms, cellars or flats. We do all the heavy lifting safely while protecting your walls and floors.
Q: Do you take large or awkward items like corner sofas?
A: Yes, we also have the vehicles and tools to handle large and awkward items easily. We can dismantle oversized furniture if necessary to get it out of your property smoothly.
Q: Is your disposal legal?
A: Yes, completely. We are an Environment Agency Registered waste carrier (Licence CBDU409710) and provide a Waste Transfer Note with every job. Everything is processed at a licensed facility so your Duty of Care is fully met.
Q: Does North Yorkshire Council collect from inside my house?
A: No, the council is strict on a pavement-only policy. This is incredibly difficult for residents living in Selby’s older properties with medieval layouts or for those without a front garden to safely store heavy items.
Q: I live on a narrow rural lane near Selby, can you still help?
A: Yes, our vans are much more mobile than heavy skip lorries. We regularly navigate the tight farm lanes and older central streets of Selby without any issues at all.
Q: Can I take my own furniture to the local tip?
A: You can, but you must be careful if you borrow a commercial van to move heavy items. Local tips often enforce strict van permit systems and reject commercial vehicles. However, letting our team handle it saves you the heavy lifting and the complicated paperwork.
