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.
ChristineOur professional Garden Clearance in Bradford provides a rapid, reliable solution for overgrown outdoor spaces, heavy landscaping debris and unwanted garden structures. The Rubbish Removers Ltd is a fully licensed waste carrier (CBDU409710) with over 20 years of experience navigating Bradford’s unique landscape, from the steep valley sides to the tight access of traditional back-to-back terraces. We also understand that hiring a skip can be a logistical nightmare here due to weight limits on heavy Yorkshire stone and the dangers of placing skips on steep inclines, which is why our “Wait & Load” service is the preferred choice for local homeowners.
Moreover, we are a Which? Trusted Trader and a Trading Standards “Buy With Confidence” member, offering a complete clearance service that includes all the heavy lifting and labour. Therefore, whether you are clearing a small yard in Little Germany or tackling a large landscaping project in the suburbs, our uniformed teams handle everything efficiently and legally. For a free quote or to arrange a same-day collection, you can call our West Yorkshire team on 0113 450 8477. Additionally, you can WhatsApp a photo of your garden waste to 07802 860 731.

A Safer Skip Hire Alternative: Bradford’s geography is famous for its hills. This makes traditional skip hire difficult. Additionally, placing a skip on a steep incline often causes handbrake failures or requires dangerous chocking. Furthermore, skips have strict weight limits. Therefore, filling a skip with heavy Yorkshire stone or bags of soil can result in the driver refusing to lift it. Our vans are mobile, safe and we charge by volume and weight, meaning we can handle heavy inert waste without the risk.
We Sweep Up Afterwards: Unlike a “Man and Van” who might leave a mess behind, we pride ourselves on a complete service. Once we have removed your old fencing, hedge trimmings or dismantled shed, we also sweep the area broom-clean. Therefore, we ensure your patio, driveway or garden path is left spotless, so you can immediately enjoy your reclaimed space.
Emergency Same-Day Response: If you have been let down by another company or need urgent clearance before a property sale, we can help. We also provide same day service for garden waste removal. Moreover, our local crews know the quickest routes via the M606 and A650 to reach you promptly, ensuring your garden is cleared without delay.
100% Green Waste Recycled: We are committed to a greener future. We divert 95% of the waste we collect from landfill. Your green waste, branches and bagged soil are taken to licensed transfer stations to be turned into compost or biomass, ensuring your garden clearance is environmentally responsible.

1. Get a Quote: Give us a call on 0113 450 8477 or fill in our contact form. You can also WhatsApp a photo of the pile to 07802 860 731 for a fast estimate.
2. Clearance: Our 2-man team arrives in Bradford within a specific time slot. We also bring all necessary tools, shovels and brooms to clear the lot quickly.
3. Sweep Up: We don’t just leave; we also sweep the mud and debris from your driveway or path, leaving it tidy.
4. Disposal: You receive a Waste Transfer Note instantly via email. Therefore, this proves your duty of care has been met and the waste was disposed of legally.
We also offer transparent pricing based on the volume and weight of waste we remove. Therefore, you only pay for the space you fill, unlike a skip where you pay for fresh air if you don’t fill it.
• Single Item: Ideal for a dismantled shed (6×4) or a small pile of branches. Cheaper and faster than council bulky collection.
• Quarter Van Load: Roughly 2-3 cubic yards. Therefore, this is perfect for a garden tidy-up or clearing a small yard in a terraced property.
• Half Van Load: Roughly 6 cubic yards. In other words, this is comparable to a standard builders skip (6-yarder) but with no permit fees and we do the loading. Ideal for a medium landscaping project.
• Full Van Load: 12-14 cubic yards. Equivalent to roughly 2 standard 8-yard skips. Suitable for large garden clearances or heavy renovation debris.
Get a Firm Price: Send a photo of your pile to 07802 860 731 and we will give you a fixed quote.
• Cellar & Yard Clearance in Manningham: We cleared heavy rubble and old stone slabs from a back-to-back terrace property. Because we used our Wait & Load service, we avoided blocking the narrow rear access road where a skip would have been impossible.
• Garden Clearance in Little Germany: A client required the removal of overgrown vegetation and fly-tipped furniture from a communal courtyard. Our team manually carried the waste to the van, navigating the historic narrow streets without disruption.
• Heavy Stone Removal in Queensbury: We removed tonnes of heavy Yorkshire stone from a hillside renovation project. A skip company had previously refused the job due to the steep gradient. However, our mobile vans handled the load safely and efficiently.
We cover the whole of Bradford and the immediate surrounding districts, including:
Q: Do you take bagged soil, rubble and bricks?
A: Yes. We specialise in collecting Inert Waste like bags of soil and rubble. Because we charge by weight and volume, we can handle the heavy Yorkshire stone common in Bradford renovations that many skip companies struggle with or refuse to lift.
Q: Will you clean up the mess afterwards?
A: Yes. “We Sweep Up” is a core part of our promise. Therefore, whether it is mud from a lawn removal or dust from old bricks, we sweep the area clean before we leave so your property looks presentable immediately.
Q: Do I need a skip permit for Bradford?
A: Only if you use a skip that needs to be placed on the public highway. Bradford Council requires permits for road skips, which can be costly and slow to arrange. Moreover, our service is “Wait & Load,” meaning the van arrives, we load it immediately and we leave. No permit is required, even on strict terraced streets.
Q: Will Bradford Council take my DIY/Garden waste?
A: It can be difficult. The local household waste recycling centre (Bowling Back Lane) has strict rules. They require a resident permit and also often reject commercial-type vehicles. Moreover, they have limits on construction waste like plasterboard and tyres. We offer a convenient alternative where we take everything in one go without you needing to queue or register.
Q: Can you collect from properties with difficult access in Bradford?
A: Yes. We are very experienced with Bradford’s geography. Therefore, whether you live on the steep hills of Queensbury or in a terrace with narrow back-lane access in Manningham, our vans are far more agile than skip lorries. We can park close and our team will do the manual carrying to get the waste to the vehicle.
