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.
ChristineManchester house clearance services provided by The Rubbish Removers Ltd, an ethical, family-run business with over 20 years of experience in property waste management. Moreover, as an Environment Agency Registered carrier (licence number CBDU409710), we specialise in providing full property solutions that range from clearing single bulky items to managing total estate clearances. Whether you are dealing with a bereavement, preparing a house for sale, or managing an end-of-tenancy turnover, our uniformed teams handle the entire process with the utmost professionalism and care.
We understand that clearing a property can be a daunting task, which is why we offer a comprehensive service that includes all the heavy lifting and also a thorough sweep-up afterwards. Furthermore, we are proud to be Which? Trusted Traders and a member of the Trading Standards “Buy With Confidence” scheme, ensuring you receive a high-standard, reliable service every time. For a fast, free estimate based on your specific needs, you can call our Manchester head office on 0161 339 7938 or you can also send photos of the items to be cleared via WhatsApp to 07802 860 731.

Managing a house clearance in a busy metropolis like Manchester presents unique challenges that our local crews are experts at solving. For example, if you are clearing a modern high-rise apartment in Deansgate or the Northern Quarter, we manage the logistics of service lifts and strict loading bay windows so you don’t have to. Likewise, for those in student areas like Fallowfield or Rusholme, we navigate narrow gated alleyways and congested streets with ease, therefore providing a seamless “Wait & Load” service that bypasses the need for expensive skip permits.
Manchester City Council often has wait times of four weeks or more for bulky collections and they strictly refuse to enter the property, therefore meaning you would have to drag heavy furniture to the kerb yourself. In contrast, we offer a compassionate and complete alternative, with specialists trained in sensitive situations such as probate or hoarding cases. In addition, we can offer a key-holder service, liaising directly with local estate agents or solicitors so the clearance can proceed without you needing to be on site.

Our teams are equipped to clear the entire contents of a property, ensuring that every corner is addressed. This includes:

We have refined our 4-step process to ensure that every house clearance is as stress-free as possible for our clients.
1. Assessment: First, we provide a free on-site quotation or a quick video walk-through. You can also WhatsApp photos to 07802 860 731 for a free quote.
2. The Clear: Our professional, uniformed team arrives in a specific window and clears the property systematically, room-by-room. We take great care around walls and doorframes, especially in tight Manchester terraces.
3. The Clean: We don’t just remove the items. Once the rooms are vacant, we sweep through to leave the property “Broom Clean” and ready for immediate sale or letting.
4. Ethics: We prioritise a 95% landfill diversion rate. Then, items suitable for reuse are donated to local charities, while the remainder is processed at licensed transfer stations.
Our pricing is transparent and based on the volume and weight of the items cleared. You only pay for the space you fill, making us a cost-effective skip hire alternative.
Prices start from £80 +VAT. Ideal for a standalone sofa, fridge or wardrobe.
Roughly 2-3 cubic yards. Perfect for clearing a small box room or a large master bedroom cupboard.
Roughly 6 cubic yards. Comparable to a standard builders’ skip, suitable for a garage or large cellar clearance.
12–14 cubic yards; therefore, the large capacity equals roughly two standard skips, making it ideal for full house clearances.
– Apartment Clearance in Deansgate: We cleared a two-bedroom high-rise apartment using service lifts and a strict “Wait & Load” method to comply with city centre parking restrictions.
– Student Turnover in Fallowfield: A landlord required a rapid clearance of abandoned furniture and general rubbish from a large HMO, therefore navigating narrow rear access during the busy summer turnover.
– Probate Clearance in Didsbury: We handled a sensitive full house and cellar clearance for a family living abroad, thereby managing the project via our key-holder service and providing photo updates upon completion.
– Hoarding Support in Cheetham Hill: Our team provided a discreet and also respectful clearance of a heavily cluttered terrace house, ensuring personal documents and valuables were set aside for the family.

We provide full coverage across the city and also the surrounding suburbs, including:
Do I need to be present during the clearance?
No, you do not need to be on-site. Instead, we frequently work with estate agents, solicitors and out of town relatives using our key-holder service. In addition, we can provide before and after photos and call you once the job is finished.
Do you separate valuables or personal items?
Yes. Importantly, we do not operate a “smash and grab” service. Instead, our teams are trained to look out for personal photos, legal documents and items of potential value, which we carefully set aside and return to you.
How quickly can you clear a property in Manchester?
We offer a same-day service for enquiries made early in the day. By comparison, Manchester City Council wait times can be several weeks. So, we can often clear and clean a property within 24 to 48 hours.
I don’t live in Manchester, can you clear my relative’s house?
Yes, absolutely. In fact, we regularly help families and landlords who are based elsewhere. Therefore, we manage the entire process remotely, ensuring the property is market ready and providing all necessary digital paperwork.
Is your disposal legal?
Absolutely. We provide a Waste Transfer Note (WTN) for every collection, proving your Duty of Care has been met. Our Environment Agency licence number is CBDU409710 and furthermore, we never fly-tip!
