Extremely satisfying experience. The shed and contents were removed within 3 days of booking the job and I only have high praise for Mike and Alan who were very efficient in completing the job in double quick time and they left a very clean area.. I would definitely recommend THE RUBBISH REMOVERS and would use them again if I needed to. They are very efficient and professional.

We understand that garden projects in Burnley often generate more waste than the council bins can handle and we pride ourselves on offering a “Man and Van Clearance” service that does all the heavy lifting for you. Unlike the local tip at Balderstone Lane, which can be difficult to access with larger vehicles and has strict rules on what you can bring, we take everything from green waste to heavy inert waste like rubble and bagged soil. We are committed to a greener future, maintaining a high Landfill Diversion Rate by recycling your garden waste at licensed transfer stations.
Why Choose Us for Garden Clearance in Burnley?
Skip Hire Alternative for Terraced Streets: Burnley is famous for its 2-up 2-down stone-built terraces and tight grid systems. In these areas, placing a skip is often impossible due to the lack of driveways as well as strict parking enforcement on narrow roads. Even if you have space, the cobbled back streets are frequently too narrow for heavy skip wagons to access safely. Our “Wait & Load” service is the perfect solution. Our vans are agile enough to navigate these back lanes. We also load your waste immediately, meaning no permits are required and no parking spaces are blocked.
We Do The Heavy Lifting & Sweeping: Garden waste is heavy and messy. Whether it is bags of soil, thorny branches or rotting fencing, our uniformed two-man teams handle it all. We don’t just throw the rubbish on the van; we also provide a full sweep-up service. Once the clearance is done, we sweep your patio, driveway or back yard clean, leaving your property tidy and ready for use.
Emergency Same-Day Response: We also know that sometimes waste needs to go urgently, especially if you are dealing with fly-tipping in back alleys or preparing a rental property for a new tenant. We offer a same-day service availability to ensure piles of rubbish don’t become a long-term headache.
The Rubbish Removers vs. Skip Hire in Burnley
| Feature | The Rubbish Removers | Skip Hire |
|---|---|---|
| Labour | We Load Everything: Our team does all the digging, lifting and carrying. | You Do All The Work: You have to wheelbarrow heavy soil/rubble yourself. |
| Permits | No Permit Needed: We use “Wait & Load” so we are gone in 60 mins. | Expensive Permits: Essential for Burnley’s terraced streets (£30-£50+ fees). |
| Access | Agile Vans: We can access narrow cobbled back streets easily. | Restricted: Skip wagons struggle with Burnley’s narrow/steep lanes. |
| Speed | Immediate Removal: We arrive, load and leave. | Slow: Skips sit on the road for weeks, annoying neighbours. |
What We Take
We also handle all types of garden and outdoor waste, ensuring you receive a valid Waste Transfer Note (WTN) for your records:
– Green Waste: Hedge trimmings, branches, turf, leaves as well as weeds.
– Hard Landscaping: Old decking, rotten fencing panels, fence posts and also paving slabs.
– Inert Waste: Bags of soil, bricks, rubble and also stone (common in terrace renovations).
– Garden Structures: We dismantle and remove old sheds, greenhouses as well as playhouses.
– Fly-Tipping Clearance: Removal of dumped waste from private land and also back alleys.
– General Junk: Old garden furniture, broken plant pots and also mixed exterior waste.
How It Works
1. Get a Quote: Give us a call on 0161 339 7938. You can also WhatsApp a photo of your garden pile to 07802 860 731. We provide a transparent estimate based on volume.
2. Clearance: Our uniformed team arrives in Burnley within a specific time window. We also bring shovels, brooms and heavy-duty bags to clear your waste, even from difficult to reach areas.
3. Sweep Up: We sweep the area thoroughly. Therefore, if we have moved mud or debris across a path or driveway, we clean it up before we leave.
4. Disposal: You receive a digital invoice and Waste Transfer Note instantly. We transport the load to a licensed recycling centre where green waste is composted and rubble is crushed for reuse.
Typical Load Sizes & Pricing Guide
We offer transparent pricing based on volume and weight, meaning you only pay for the space you fill. This is far more cost-effective than hiring a skip that you might only half-fill.
Single Item
Prices start from £80+VAT. In short, this is ideal for removing a single bulky item like a rotten garden bench or a small pile of hedge clippings (approx. 10-15 bags).
Quarter Van Load
Roughly 2-3 cubic yards. In other words, this is equivalent to a dismantled 6×4 shed or a standard garden tidy-up.
Half Van Load
Roughly 6 cubic yards. This is comparable to a standard builders skip. Perfect for a medium patio clearance, old decking removal or heavier soil/rubble loads.
Full Van Load
12-14 cubic yards. Equivalent to two large skips. This is suitable for complete garden overhauls, large fly-tipping clearances or extensive hedge removal.

Typical Jobs in Burnley
• Terrace Yard Clearance in Burnley Wood: We cleared a large pile of renovation rubble and old flagstones from a 2-up 2-down property. Using our “Wait & Load” service, we accessed the property via the narrow cobbled back street, avoiding the need to block the front road with a skip.
• Fly-Tipping Removal in Gannow: A landlord contacted us regarding bags of waste dumped at a back-street collection point. We arrived within 24 hours, cleared the hazardous pile and provided the owner with a duty of care certificate to prove legal disposal.
• Shed Dismantling in Ightenhill: We dismantled and removed a rotten 8×6 shed along with its contents. The team also swept the concrete base clean, allowing the owner to install a new structure immediately.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Do you take soil, rubble and bricks?
A: Yes, we do. Unlike many general rubbish collectors, we have vehicles capable of carrying heavy inert waste. We also charge based on weight and volume, making it a convenient alternative to hiring a skip for small renovation projects.
Q: Do you dismantle sheds or garden structures?
A: Absolutely. Our team carries the necessary tools to dismantle sheds, greenhouses and rotten fencing. We break them down and load them onto the van, saving you the dangerous work of handling rusty nails and heavy timber.
Q: Will you clean up the mess afterwards?
A: Yes. “We Sweep Up” is one of our core promises. We will not leave your garden or driveway covered in mud or debris. We sweep the area broom-clean before we drive away.
Q: Do I need a skip permit for Burnley?
A: Only if you use a traditional skip that sits on the public highway. Burnley’s terraced streets make this difficult and costly due to permit fees and parking restrictions. Because our service is “Wait & Load,” meaning the van is never parked permanently, no permit is required.
Q: Will Burnley Council take my DIY/Garden waste?
A: The council services have limits. Burnley Council often charges for the collection of “non-standard” items. The local HWRC at Balderstone Lane can be tricky to access and strictly prohibits certain types of trade or construction waste. However, we take everything in one go, from mixed waste to DIY debris.
Q: Can you collect from properties with difficult access in Burnley?
A: Yes. We are very familiar with Burnley’s layout, including the steep hills and narrow, cobbled back streets. Our vans are easier to manoeuvre than large skip wagons, allowing us to get closer to your yard for faster loading.
