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.

Navigating a bulky American fridge-freezer through a narrow Victorian terrace in Fallowfield or down from a high-rise apartment in Deansgate is a significant challenge for many residents. For example, Manchester City Council typically requires residents to leave items at the curbside, which is nearly impossible for those living in city-centre flats with only service-lift access. As a result, we solve this problem by providing a comprehensive man and van clearance service that starts inside your property. In addition, we arrive in a tracked vehicle, load the appliance safely and therefore provide a digital Waste Transfer Note immediately for your peace of mind.

We Collect From Inside
Unlike the local council, which strictly requires items to be left on the pavement, we come directly into your kitchen, utility room or cellar. So, you do not need to worry about dragging a heavy appliance through your home or leaving it out in the rain to get sodden.
Protection and Care
Our uniformed staff are experts at manoeuvring large appliances through tight corridors and doorways. In addition, we use protective measures to ensure we do not scratch your floors or dent your walls during the removal process.
Speed and Reliability
We offer an emergency same-day response for those who need their old unit gone before a new delivery arrives. We provide a specific arrival window and call you 30 minutes before we get there so you are not sat around waiting.
All Styles Taken
Our teams are equipped to handle any size of appliance, including massive American-style fridge-freezers, chest freezers and standard under-counter units. We have the right tools and the physical strength to manage the most awkward removals.
| Feature | The Rubbish Removers | Manchester City Council |
|---|---|---|
| Collection Point | Any Room / Upstairs | Curbside Only (You drag it out) |
| Speed | Same Day / 24 Hours | 4+ Weeks Waiting List |
| Heavy Lifting | 2-Man Team Included | Zero Assistance |

Prices start from £80 +VAT. This is the perfect option for a standalone bulky item like a large fridge or a sofa. Furthermore, it is significantly faster than waiting weeks for a council collection.
Equivalent to 2 to 3 cubic yards. This is ideal if you are clearing an old appliance along with a few extra bags of household rubbish.
Roughly 6 cubic yards. This is comparable to a standard builders’ skip but without the need for expensive street permits.
12 to 14 cubic yards. This option works best for full kitchen rip-outs or house clearances where you replace multiple appliances.
You only pay for the volume your waste occupies in our van. This makes us a brilliant skip hire alternative because you are not paying for empty space or permit fees!
– Apartment Clearance in Deansgate: We removed a broken American fridge-freezer from a 10th-floor flat using the service lift and a “Wait & Load” method to avoid city centre parking restrictions.
– Student Move-out in Fallowfield: We cleared a fridge and also several bags of rubbish from a narrow terraced property where gated alleyways made skip placement impossible.
– Kitchen Upgrade in Didsbury: Our team collected an old integrated fridge and freezer from a leafy suburban home, ensuring the high-value hallway flooring was fully protected during the move.
– Emergency Removal in Ancoats: We provided a same-day collection for a resident whose new appliance arrived early, leaving the kitchen clear and swept within an hour of the call.
1. Get a Quote: First, give us a call at 0161 339 7938 or WhatsApp a photo of your fridge to 07802 860 731 for an instant estimate.
2. We Arrive: A professional 2-man team arrives in a specific time slot that suits your schedule.
3. We Remove: We carefully carry it out of the property, taking full responsibility for the heavy lifting.
4. Recycling: Then, your old unit is taken to a licensed transfer station where 100% of fridges are safely de-gassed and processed for WEEE recycling.

We provide comprehensive coverage throughout Manchester and the surrounding districts. Our local crews know the city’s road networks and parking restrictions inside out.
Do I need to get the fridge to the ground floor?
No. Instead, our 2-man team collects from any room, including upstairs kitchens or basement storage areas. In addition, we handle all the manual labour, so you don’t have to risk an injury.
Do you take large American-style fridges?
Yes. In fact, we have the vehicles and experience to handle heavy, oversized units. For example, our crews often handle these removals in city-centre apartments where space is restricted.
Is your disposal legal?
Absolutely. Moreover, as an Environment Agency Registered carrier (CBDU409710), we provide a Waste Transfer Note with every job. As a result, we ensure you meet your Duty of Care and prevent your waste from being fly-tipped.
Does Manchester City Council collect from inside my house?
No. Instead, the council requires all bulky waste to be left at the curbside. Consequently, this creates major issues for residents in high-rise apartments or terraced homes with no front gardens.
I live on a narrow street in Fallowfield, can you still help?
Yes. We know that parking in student areas like Fallowfield can be incredibly tight. Our vans are much more mobile than skip lorries and we can also perform a quick “Wait & Load” service to avoid blocking the road.
Can I take my own fridge to the Longley Lane tip?
You can, but be aware that Manchester tips use strict ANPR enforcement. If you arrive in a borrowed van or a commercial vehicle without a pre-registered permit, the site may turn you away.
