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.
ChristineBooking a Garden Clearance in Lancaster is the fastest way to deal with piles of green waste and old garden furniture. Moreover, navigating the notorious Lancaster gyratory one-way system or trying to drop a heavy skip on tight, cobbled city centre streets is incredibly stressful, often blocking access and frustrating the neighbours. However, we bypass these headaches completely as a fully insured, Environment Agency Registered waste carrier (Licence CBDU409710), offering a rapid wait and load alternative. Instead of paying for expensive road permits and doing the back breaking work yourself, our uniformed two-man team clears the debris directly from your garden and drives away.
Taking endless bags of mud, thorny branches and heavy bags of soil down to the Salt Ayre Recycling Centre (HWRC) usually means sitting in long queues alongside commercial traffic, not to mention navigating strict van permit rules. As a Which? Trusted Trader and Trading Standards Approved “Buy with Confidence” member, The Rubbish Removers handle the mess so you do not have to dirty your own car. We proudly offer a true Man and Van Clearance service designed for homeowners and also landlords. Call our family-run team today on 0161 339 7938 to reclaim your outdoor space.

We use transparent pricing based on volume as well as weight, meaning you only ever pay for the space you fill.

Prices start from £80+VAT. Therefore, this is perfect for a standalone bulky item like a broken lawnmower or a few bags of grass cuttings.
Roughly 20-30 bin bags. In other words, this is equivalent to a dismantled 6×4 garden shed or a small seasonal garden tidy-up.
Roughly 6 cubic yards. In short, this is comparable capacity to a standard builders skip, ideal for large landscaping projects or removing an old patio.
12-14 cubic yards with an 800kg payload. Therefore, this is excellent for massive overgrowth clearances or large rental property garden clean-ups.

We provide garden clearances across Lancaster as well as the immediate surrounding districts. Our local crews know the routes well and serve:
Q: Do you take bagged soil, rubble and bricks?
A: Yes. We charge by weight as well as volume and are perfectly equipped to handle heavy inert waste like bags of soil and rubble that many others refuse.
Q: Do you dismantle sheds or garden structures?
A: Yes. Full dismantling and also removal of sheds, greenhouses and old decking is a core part of our garden clearance service.
Q: Will you clean up the mess afterwards?
A: Yes. We also promise to sweep up after every job, ensuring your driveway, garden path or patio is left completely clear of mud and debris.
Q: Do I need a skip permit for Lancaster?
A: Only if you use a traditional skip on a public road. Moreover, Lancaster City Council requires paid permits for road skips, which takes time to organise. However, our wait and load vans require absolutely no permit.
Q: Will Lancaster City Council take my DIY or Garden waste?
A: Council collections are extremely limited for this type of waste. The council generally refuses heavy bags of soil, rubble, construction waste and dismantled sheds in their standard bulky collections.
Q: Can you collect from properties with difficult access in Lancaster?
A: Yes. We know that the historic centre has restricted cobbled streets as well as notorious one-way systems. However, our vans can navigate tight lanes and park up briefly to load your waste safely and efficiently.
