Friendly, professional and quick service! Tom and Barry were great calling me half an hour before arriving, and observed all social distancing regulations etc, and Richard was very helpful on the phone fitting me in same day. Overall very satisfied and would recommend.
GraceyAbsolutely brilliant! The two lads were quick and efficient with big smiles on their faces, despite the cold. Twenty four hours from the initial enquiry, the job was completed. That’s proper service.
GrahamThey did an excellent job and cleared my Mums flat quickly. I would recommend them to everyone and I would use them again. My mum had recently passed away so it was a difficult time but they were also understanding of the circumstances.

Skip Hire Alternative: We are often cheaper than a skip because you only pay for the volume of waste we actually take. Additionally, you don’t need to worry about the cost or delay of obtaining a skip permit from Blackburn Council.
We Sweep Up: Our team doesn’t just remove your items; we also provide a thorough sweep-up service once the garage is empty. Therefore, we leave the floor clean and free from the dust and debris that often accumulates over years of storage.
Speed: We offer an emergency same-day response for those who need their space reclaimed urgently. As a result, most collections are completed within 24 hours of your initial enquiry.
Professional Service: Our own uniformed teams handle every job, ensuring a polite and respectful service. We can also assist with full dismantling of old shelving or internal structures if required.

Q: Do you take bagged soil, rubble and bricks?
A: Yes, we can handle inert waste such as bagged soil and rubble. Moreover, we charge based on weight and volume for these heavy materials, which the council often refuses to collect.
Q: Do you dismantle garage shelving or old sheds?
A: Yes, full dismantling and removal of internal structures or external sheds is part of our service. Therefore, our team comes equipped with the tools to handle these tasks safely.
Q: Will you clean up the mess afterwards?
A: Absolutely. We pride ourselves on our “We Sweep Up” promise. We will leave your garage floor spotless and ready for you to use immediately.
Q: Do I need a skip permit for Blackburn?
A: You only need a permit if you choose to use a skip placed on a public road. Because, our service is a “Wait & Load” model, meaning we arrive, load and leave, no permit is required.
Q: Will Blackburn with Darwen Council take my DIY or garden waste?
A: The council bulky collection service is often limited and has strict rules. They typically refuse construction waste, bagged soil or dismantled structures, which is where our professional service helps.
Q: Can you collect from properties with difficult access in Blackburn?
A: Yes, we are experts at navigating Blackburns steep hills and narrow back lanes. Our vans are also far more mobile than large skip wagons, making us the ideal choice for terraced rows and hilly residential streets.
Q: Can I take my own garage waste to George Street West Recycling Centre?
A: You can, but be aware that George Street West has strict ID checks and has recently cracked down on van permits. If you try to borrow a van to move your rubbish, you may be turned away.
