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.
ChristineTrade Waste Collection in High Peak is a critical service for keeping your business premises safe, compliant and clutter free without the logistical headaches of hiring a skip. We are The Rubbish Removers Ltd, a fully licensed, family-run business dedicated to supporting local traders, shop fitters and office managers across Buxton, Glossop and the wider High Peak region. Moreover, our team is Environment Agency Registered (licence number CBDU409710), ensuring that every load we remove is handled with the utmost legal compliance and environmental responsibility, protecting your business from liability.
We are also Which? Trusted Traders as well as members of the Trading Standads “Buy with Confidence” scheme. Therefore, whether you are managing a shop refit in Buxton’s historic Georgian Crescent or clearing renovation debris from a terraced property in Glossop, we provide a rapid, reliable alternative to standard council collections. You can reach our head office on 0161 339 7938 or, for an instant estimate while you are on site, simply WhatsApp a photo of your waste to 07802 860 731. With over 20 years of experience, we also guarantee a professional service that prioritises your business continuity and fulfils your legal duty of care.

Operating a business or managing a site in the High Peak comes with unique challenges, from the steep hills of Buxton to the narrow, pavement-facing terrace streets of Glossop. Therefore, we have adapted our service to meet these specific local needs.
• Compliance First: We provide secure WEEE disposal for old office electronics and full audit trails for all waste. Moreover, you receive a digital Waste Transfer Note instantly, ensuring your paperwork is always audit-ready.
• Minimal Disruption: We know that High Peak weather can be unpredictable and access difficult. We also offer out-of-hours collections to ensure your waste is gone without interrupting your trading hours or blocking vital access roads.
• Dedicated Account Manager: For recurring trade waste, you will have a single point of contact who understands your specific site requirements, whether you are in a rural farmhouse renovation or a town centre retail unit.
• Relocation & Refurbishment Ready: We specialise in “Wait & Load” services, which are essential in areas like Glossop where there is simply no space to place a skip on the road. Therefore, we arrive, load your old fit-out debris immediately and leave the site clear.
Many businesses in High Peak assume a skip is their only option, but the local topography often makes this difficult. Skips can also be dangerous to place on steep inclines and impossible to permit on narrow streets.
| Feature | The Rubbish Removers | Commercial Skips |
|---|---|---|
| Access | City Centre/Loading Bay Ready – Our vans can access tight spots in Glossop and Buxton where skip wagons struggle. | Requires Private Land/Permit – Difficult on terrace streets or shared access lanes. |
| Labour | We Clear The Office – Our uniformed staff do all the heavy lifting and loading for you. | Staff Must Load The Skip – Wastes your team’s valuable time and effort. |
| Privacy | Secure Loading (Closed Van) – Your business waste is removed immediately in a tracked vehicle. | Open Skip (Data Risk) – Waste sits outside your premises, inviting fly-tipping and scavenging. |
| Speed | Done in Hours – We arrive, load and leave, keeping your frontage clear. | On Site for Days – Skips can sit on your property for weeks, blocking parking. |

We support a wide range of industries across the High Peak, ensuring all waste is diverted from landfill wherever possible.
• Office Clearance: Desks, chairs, filing cabinets and also secure IT equipment disposal (WEEE).
• Trade & Construction: Builders waste, plasterboard, rubble as well as shop fitting debris. (Note: The local council is very strict on refusing bagged soil and rubble; we take it all).
• Landlord & Estate Agents: End-of-lease clearances and removal of fly-tipping from private land or car parks.
We have streamlined our process to ensure your business experiences zero downtime during the clearance.
1. Audit: Give us a call or fill in our contact form. Additionally, you can WhatsApp a photo of the item to 07802 860 731 for a quick quote.
2. Schedule: We book a specific slot that suits your opening hours to minimise disruption to your customers or staff.
3. Clearance: Our uniformed, professional staff arrive and clear the site efficiently. If we are clearing a dusty shop refit or a garage, we sweep the area clean before we leave.
4. Paperwork: You receive an instant digital Waste Transfer Note and VAT Invoice for your records.
We operate a transparent pricing model based on volume. Unlike hiring a skip, where you pay a flat fee even if you only half-fill it, with us, you only pay for the space you use.
• Single Item: Ideal for removing a large office printer, a commercial fridge or a pile of packaging. Prices start from £80+VAT.
• Quarter Van Load: Roughly equivalent to 20-30 bin bags. Therefore, this is perfect for a small office tidy-up or clearing a storage cupboard.
• Half Van Load: Roughly 6 cubic yards (approx. 50-60 bin bags). Comparable to a standard builders skip but without the permit fees or driveway damage.
• Full Van Load: 12-14 cubic yards (100+ bin bags). In other words, this is equivalent to two standard 8-yard skips. Ideal for full shop strip-outs or large office clearances.

We are out and about in the High Peak daily. Here is how we have helped local businesses recently:
• Hotel Clearance in Buxton: We performed a rapid “Wait & Load” clearance of old mattresses and furniture from a hotel near The Crescent. Using our vans avoided the need for a skip permit in this strict tourist conservation area.
• Renovation Debris in Glossop: A shop fitter on the High Street needed urgent removal of plasterboard and timber. Because the property opened directly onto the pavement, a skip was impossible. We also cleared the waste within 60 minutes of arrival.
• Farm Waste near Chapel-en-le-Frith: We collected mixed trade waste from a barn conversion during winter. Our experienced drivers navigated the rural lanes safely where larger skip lorries had refused access due to the weather.
We also cover the entire borough and the surrounding villages, ensuring local businesses have access to professional waste disposal.
Q: Can you take confidential waste or old computers?
A: Yes. We provide secure WEEE disposal for IT equipment such as hard drives, monitors and servers. Moreover, we ensure these items are handled correctly at licensed recycling facilities. For general office paper and archives, we can clear these as part of a standard Commercial Waste Disposal package.
Q: Do you offer credit accounts for regular trade?
A: Yes. For regular commercial clients, such as shop fitters, estate agents and property managers, we offer dedicated account terms. You will also have a dedicated account manager to coordinate your bookings.
Q: Can I take trade waste to the Waterswallows tip in Buxton?
A: Generally, no. The Household Waste Recycling Centre (HWRC) at Waterswallows is strictly for residential waste. They use ANPR cameras and strict monitoring to turn away suspected trade vehicles. Even if you gain access, they often refuse construction waste like bagged soil, rubble and plasterboard. We offer a legal, hassle-free alternative.
Q: We are based in Glossop town centre, how do you handle parking?
A: We use a “Wait & Load” service. We know that parking in Glossop is tight and often restricted. Our drivers stay with the vehicle while our team loads your waste rapidly. This means we can operate legally in loading bays or temporarily outside your premises without incurring fines or needing a skip permit.
Q: Do you cover industrial estates in High Peak?
A: Yes. We service businesses across all major industrial areas, including the Rossmore Industrial Estate in Ellesmere Port and Surrey Street in Glossop. We handle pallets, packaging and light industrial waste.
