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.
ChristineFly Tipping Clearance in Leeds is a critical service for landowners and residents dealing with illegally dumped waste. Moreover, we provide an immediate, licensed solution to remove the risk of fines and environmental hazards. Based locally, The Rubbish Removers Ltd operates a fleet of rapid-response vehicles across West Yorkshire, ensuring that unsightly piles of rubbish, whether in the back alleys of Harehills or the student streets of Headingley, are cleared swiftly and legally. As an Upper Tier Waste Carrier (Licence CBDU409710), we also guarantee that every item we collect is disposed of responsibly at authorised recycling centres, providing you with a full audit trail to satisfy your legal Duty of Care.
We also understand that finding dumped waste on your private land or driveway is stressful, which is why our uniformed teams are available for same-day or next-day collection by calling 0113 450 8477. Unlike hiring a skip, which requires a permit and sits on the road inviting further dumping, our “Wait & Load” service removes the problem instantly. We handle the heavy lifting, sweep the area clean and also issue a Waste Transfer Note upon completion, giving you total peace of mind that the waste has been handled by a Trading Standards Approved “Buy with Confidence” member and Which? Trusted Trader professional.

Skip Hire Alternative: In dense areas like Harehills or the busy streets of Headingley, placing a skip is often impossible due to permit restrictions or the risk of “cuckoo tipping,” where neighbours fill your skip overnight. Our service is cheaper than a skip, requires no permit fees and we do all the loading for you. We arrive, clear the pile immediately and leave, meaning you don’t have a metal box blocking your access for weeks.
We Sweep Up: Fly-tipped waste often leaves behind a mess of broken glass, loose debris or leaking bags. Moreover, we don’t just grab the big items; our two-man teams come equipped with shovels and brooms to ensure the area is left safe and tidy.
Emergency Same-Day Response: Speed is essential when dealing with fly-tipping. A pile of rubbish acts as a magnet for more waste if left unattended. We offer an emergency response service to clear the hazard before it grows. This is particularly vital for landlords in student areas where end-of-tenancy waste can rapidly escalate into a council enforcement issue.
Hazardous & Unknown Waste Handling: Fly-tipped piles often contain “Inert Waste” like bags of soil and rubble or prohibited items that the council refuses to take. We conduct a site assessment on arrival to safely handle mixed waste streams, ensuring that hazardous materials like tyres or paint tins are identified and managed correctly according to Environment Agency regulations.

– Garden Waste: Piles of branches, bagged soil, turf as well as old fencing often dumped in lay-bys.

– Fly-Tipping Hazards: Tyres, mixed commercial waste and also unknown piles (subject to site assessment).
1. Get a Quote: Give us a call on 0113 450 8477 or fill in our contact form. Additionally, you can WhatsApp a photo of the pile to 07802 860 731 for an instant estimate.
2. Clearance: Our uniformed team arrives in a dedicated waste removal vehicle. Subsequently, we assess the site for safety and immediately begin clearing the waste using shovels and manual labour.
3. Sweep Up: Once the bulk of the waste is removed, we also sweep the ground thoroughly to remove screws, glass and smaller debris, leaving your property safe again.
4. Disposal: You receive a digital Waste Transfer Note immediately. Therefore, this is your proof that the waste was removed legally, protecting you from liability.
We also operate a transparent pricing model based on volume, meaning you only pay for the space the waste fills in our van. This is far more cost-effective than paying for a fixed-size skip that you might not fill.

• Alleyway Clearance in Harehills: We cleared a large pile of mixed renovation debris and black bags dumped in a narrow back alley. Our van could navigate the tight “back-to-back” terrace streets where a skip lorry would have been impossible.
• Student Waste Removal in Headingley: A landlord contacted us regarding sofas and mattresses dumped on a front garden during the summer changeover. We provided a same-day clearance to prevent the landlord from receiving a council fine.
• Fly-Tipped Rubble in Seacroft: We removed a tonne of bagged soil and bricks dumped on private land. The owner used us because Leeds City Council tips charge for inert waste, making it difficult for them to dispose of it personally.
• Commercial Waste in City Centre: We cleared fly-tipped office chairs and packaging from a private loading bay near the financial district, utilising a “Wait & Load” service to avoid blocking the busy access road.

We cover the entire Leeds metropolitan area as well as the surrounding districts. Our local teams are familiar with the specific access challenges of the city, from the narrow Victorian streets to the busy commuter routes.
Yes. We frequently clear “inert waste” such as bagged soil, rubble and bricks that are often fly-tipped. We charge by weight and volume, providing a convenient solution since Leeds City Council tips often charge residents per bag for this type of waste.
Yes. If a collapsed shed or structure has been left on your land, we offer a full dismantling and removal service. We will break it down and remove all the timber, glass and felt.
Absolutely. Our “We Sweep Up” promise means we never leave a job half-finished. Therefore, we ensure the driveway, alley or land is swept clean of small debris, which is vital for preventing punctures or safety hazards.
Only if you hire a skip that needs to go on the public highway. Leeds City Council requires permits for road skips, which can be costly and slow to arrange. Our “Wait & Load” service uses mobile vans, so no permit is needed, saving you time and money.
It can be difficult. Leeds City Council tips (like Kirkstall or Seacroft) charge for inert waste like rubble and plasterboard. Booking a slot can also be frustratingly competitive. Therefore, our service comes to you, takes the waste immediately and handles the disposal fees within the quote.
Yes. We know that areas like Harehills have narrow back streets and that city centre apartments often have height restrictions. Our 3.5-tonne Luton vans are much more agile than heavy skip lorries, allowing us to access tight spots safely.
