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: Tameside is known for its challenging geography, from the steep, winding hills of Mossley and Stalybridge to the narrow, car-lined streets of Ashton’s terraced grids. Therefore, placing a skip in these areas is often dangerous, requires expensive council permits or is simply impossible due to single-track lanes. However, our “Wait & Load” service avoids these headaches entirely. Our agile vans arrive, we load the waste immediately and we leave. Therefore, no permits are needed and your driveway isn’t blocked for days.
We Sweep Up: Whether we are clearing a mountain of brambles in Denton or removing old decking in Hyde, we provide a complete service. Therefore, unlike basic man and van operators who might leave a mess behind, our uniformed teams are equipped with brooms and shovels. We also sweep your patio, driveway or path clean after loading, ensuring your outdoor space is left spotless and ready to enjoy.
Speed and Convenience: Gardening projects are often weather dependent and you don’t want piles of waste killing your grass while you wait for a collection. We also function as an “Emergency Service” for waste, offering fast, scheduled arrival windows. Moreover, we handle all the heavy lifting, so you don’t have to struggle dragging bags of soil or heavy branches to the curb.
100% Green Waste Recycled: We are also committed to a greener future. Therefore, all organic garden waste we collect is diverted from landfill and taken to licensed transfer stations to be turned into compost or biomass fuel.

We handle a vast range of outdoor waste streams that many council collections refuse:

1. Get a Quote: Give us a call on 0161 339 7938 or fill in our contact form. You can also WhatsApp a photo of the pile to 07802 860 731 for an immediate estimate.
2. Clearance: Our 2-man team arrives in Tameside within a scheduled window. We also bring all the necessary tools including shovels, rakes and heavy-duty sacks to clear the lot efficiently.
3. Sweep Up: Once the van is loaded, we also sweep the area clean. We take pride in leaving your property tidier than we found it.
4. Disposal: You get a digital Waste Transfer Note (WTN) instantly. Therefore, this is your proof that your waste has been disposed of legally at an Environment Agency Registered facility.
We operate a transparent pricing model based on volume and weight. 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 / Small Load: Ideal for a dismantled 6×4 shed or a small pile of hedge trimmings (approx. 10-15 bags).
• Quarter Van Load: Roughly equivalent to 2-3 cubic yards. Therefore this is perfect for a general garden tidy-up or clearing out a small corner of debris.
• Half Van Load: Approximately 6 cubic yards (comparable to a standard builders skip). In other words, this is great for larger landscaping projects involving bagged soil or old fencing.
• Full Van Load: 12-14 cubic yards. This is a large capacity suitable for full garden clearances as well as heavy renovation waste.

• Stone & Rubble Removal in Mossley: We cleared heavy renovation debris from a terraced property on a steep hill. Because a skip wagon could not access the gradient, our van-based service was the only viable solution for the homeowner.
• Garage & Garden Clearance in Denton: A full clearance of a cluttered garage and overgrown garden on a 1970s estate. We removed old lawnmowers, rusted tools and brambles, sweeping the driveway clean afterwards.
• Rotten Shed Dismantling in Stalybridge: We dismantled and removed a 30-year-old shed that had collapsed. The team carefully removed the glass and rotten wood, carrying it down several flights of garden steps that would have made using a skip impossible.
We provide comprehensive coverage across the entire Tameside borough and immediate surroundings:
Yes. Unlike many council collections, we are happy to take heavy inert waste. We also charge based on weight and volume, making it a convenient way to dispose of landscaping debris without damaging your vehicle.
Yes. We offer a full dismantling service. Therefore, whether it is a rotten shed, a greenhouse or old decking, our team has the tools to take it down safely and remove it properly.
Absolutely. Our “We Sweep Up” promise means we leave your driveway, patio or path broom-clean. We treat your property with respect.
Only if you hire a skip that needs to go on the road. Tameside Council requires permits for roadside skips, which can be costly and slow to arrange. Our service is “Wait & Load,” meaning the van stays with our driver and does not require a permit, saving you money and hassle.
It can be difficult. The local tips, such as Ash Road in Droylsden or Bayley Street in Stalybridge, are often busy with queues backing up to the main roads. They also have strict limits on rubble and plasterboard. We collect everything in one go, saving you multiple trips and the risk of damaging your car.
Yes. We are very familiar with the local area, from the steep “Little Switzerland” hills of Mossley to the narrow back lanes of Ashton. Our vans are smaller and more manoeuvrable than heavy skip lorries, allowing us to access properties that others cannot.
