Great service and very respectful would certainly use again
Alan M.14 May 2025 · Google review
Very fair priced, put enquiry in around 8am by 10.30am same day my two sofas were gone. Richard was very helpful on the phone with breaking down the pricing, when emailed to confirm was booked in straight away, Mike the driver was friendly and apologies I don’t know the name of the younger lad with him but both very good and efficient. Was able to pay cash as was given phone call saying 45 min until arrival. Was also informed happy to pay via card also when job complete. Will definitely use The Rubbish Removers in future as they are very fair priced and very reliable. Thank you guys will definitely be passing on your details to friends and family.

Bulky Waste Collection in Leeds, We Do The Heavy Lifting
Navigating a Bulky Waste Collection in Leeds can be a logistical nightmare, especially if you are dealing with the tight staircases of back-to-back terraces in Harehills or the service lifts of a City Centre loft. Whether you need to clear an old sofa from a student HMO in Headingley or remove office furniture from the Financial District, The Rubbish Removers Ltd provides a seamless solution. We are also a fully licensed Upper Tier Waste Carrier (CBDU409710), meaning your items are handled legally and responsibly, protecting you from fly-tipping fines.
We are proud to be a Which? Trusted Trader as well as a Trading Standards “Buy With Confidence” member, offering a professional alternative to the struggle of council tips and skip hire. Instead of waiting weeks for a collection slot or battling the queues at Kirkstall tip, our uniformed two-man teams come directly to your property, often on the same day. For a free quote or to book your collection, call our West Yorkshire team on 0113 450 8477 or 07802 860 731 today.
Why Choose Us for Bulky Waste Collection in Leeds?
We Collect From Inside Your Property: Unlike Leeds City Council, which strictly operates a pavement only policy, we come into your lounge, kitchen or bedroom to retrieve your items. This is essential for residents in city centre apartments or back-to-back terraces where leaving items on the street is simply not an option. We do the heavy lifting so you don’t have to.
Protection for Your Home: Moving bulky furniture through narrow Victorian hallways or modern apartment lifts requires care. Our teams are experienced in manoeuvring awkward items like corner sofas and American-style fridges without marking your walls or damaging flooring. We take the utmost care to leave your property exactly as we found it, minus the rubbish.
Immediate Response: When your new furniture is being delivered, you need the old items gone immediately. We offer a fast, reliable same-day service to ensure you aren’t left with a mattress blocking your hallway. We act as the “Emergency Service” for waste, providing a specific arrival window and a call 30 minutes before we arrive.
We Take What Others Won’t: From large sectionals and recliners to heavy appliances and dismantled wardrobes, we handle it all. If you have bed frames that need dismantling, we have the tools and the manpower to handle that on-site, saving you the hassle of breaking them down yourself.

Typical Jobs in Leeds
• Sofa Removal in Headingley: We cleared a large corner sofa from a student HMO. Due to the busy street parking on the “Otley Run” route, a skip was impossible. Our team used a “Wait & Load” service to clear the item in under 20 minutes without requiring a road permit.
• Office Clearance in Leeds City Centre: A firm in the Financial District needed twenty desks removed from a 4th-floor office. We utilised the service lift and coordinated with building management to ensure no disruption to other tenants, recycling the furniture at a licensed facility.
• Fridge Collection in Harehills: A resident in a back-to-back terrace needed an American fridge freezer removed. The narrow front door made it difficult, but our team removed the doors of the appliance to safely extract it without scratching the paintwork.
How It Works
1. Get a Quote: Give us a call on 0113 450 8477 or fill in our contact form. You can WhatsApp a photo of your items to 07802 860 731 for an instant price.
2. We Arrive: Our two-man team arrives in a dedicated time slot. We will call you when we are on our way so you aren’t waiting around.
3. We Remove: We disconnect appliances if necessary and carefully carry your items out to our tracked vehicle. If we are clearing a messy area like a cellar or garage, we sweep up the dust and debris afterwards.
4. Recycling: You receive a digital Waste Transfer Note immediately. Most of the furniture we collect is diverted from landfill and recycled at licensed transfer stations.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Do I need to get the item to the ground floor?
A: No. Our professional two-man teams will collect items from anywhere in your property, whether that is a 3rd-floor apartment, a basement or an upstairs bedroom. We handle all the heavy lifting safely and efficiently.
Q: Do you take large or awkward items like American Fridges?
A: Yes. We have large Luton vans and the necessary tools to handle bulky American fridge freezers, large corner sofas and heavy wardrobes. If an item needs dismantling to fit through a door, we can take care of that for you.
Q: Does Leeds City Council collect from inside my house?
A: No. Leeds City Council’s bulky collection service is strictly pavement only. This can be extremely difficult for residents in back-to-back terraces in areas like Harehills or Beeston where pavement space is limited and moving heavy items alone is dangerous.
Q: I live on a narrow street in Headingley, can you still help?
A: Yes. We know that parking in student areas like Headingley and Hyde Park can be tight. Unlike skip lorries which struggle with narrow, car-lined streets, our vans are agile and can park in loading bays or driveways. We use a “Wait & Load” method to clear your waste without blocking the road.
Q: Can I take my own sofa to Kirkstall Tip?
A: You can, but be aware that Kirkstall (and other Leeds HWRCs like Seacroft) often requires you to book a slot in advance and the sites are notoriously busy. Furthermore, if you borrow a van to move the item, you may be turned away or require a specific permit. We save you the time, fuel and hassle.
