The Rubbish Removers Ltd provides rapid, fully licensed fly tipping clearance across Oldham, acting as the emergency service for waste on private land. Firstly, from the steep terraced streets of Royton to the narrow rural lanes of Saddleworth, our uniformed teams manually load and sweep clear all dumped rubbish. Unlike hiring a skip, our “Wait & Load” service requires no council permits and, in addition, handles hazardous piles safely. As a result, we divert 95% of waste from landfill.
Furthermore, we tackle the specific challenges of Oldham’s geography where large wagons cannot fit, ensuring that landlords and residents meet their Duty of Care without the hassle of Arkwright Street’s strict residency checks. Most importantly, with Upper Tier Waste Carrier licence CBDU409710, we guarantee legal and responsible disposal. Finally, we provide instant Waste Transfer Notes and restore your property’s safety immediately – often the very same day.
Established for over 20 years & covering all areas around the North West, Greater Manchester & Yorkshire.

Clearing dumped waste in Oldham presents unique challenges. Firstly, steep hills and narrow streets in areas like Shaw and Royton can make using a skip difficult or impossible. Furthermore, the Arkwright Street recycling centre prohibits trade waste and enforces strict residency checks. As a result, disposal can be difficult for landlords and business owners.
Emergency Same-Day Response: Fly-tipped waste often attracts more dumping if left unattended. Therefore, if you call us early, we can often clear the site on the same day.
We Do The Heavy Lifting: Dumped waste is often hazardous, heavy, or sharp. For this reason, our uniformed two-man teams have the equipment to safely load everything, meaning you don’t have to touch a thing.
Access to Difficult Areas: Our tracked vehicles can access the tight country lanes of Uppermill and Delph or the steep back alleys of Oldham’s terraced grids where skip wagons simply cannot fit. As a result, no location is out of reach.
We Sweep Up: We don’t just grab the big items; in addition, we sweep the area clean of broken glass, loose debris and soil, leaving your land looking immaculate.
When dealing with fly-tipped waste, hiring a skip is often the wrong tool for the job. Skips sit on your land, potentially attracting more fly-tipping from neighbours overnight. So, our “Wait & Load” service removes the problem instantly.

We handle a vast array of waste streams often found in fly-tipped piles. We separate and then recycle materials at licensed transfer stations.
Black bags, old furniture, mattresses and also carpets dumped in back alleys.
Soil, branches, turf as well as old fencing.
Bricks, rubble, plasterboard and also broken tiles.
We assess unknown piles for safety. Note: We do not take asbestos or liquid chemicals, but we can advise on specialist removal.
Cardboard bales, office furniture and also shop-fitting debris found on private land.
Our process is designed to be safe, compliant and thorough, ensuring you have the correct paperwork to prove you cleared the waste legally.
1. Get a Quote: First, give us a call or WhatsApp a photo of the pile to 07802 860 731. We can often provide a free quote instantly based on the image.
2. Clearance: Our uniformed team arrives in a specific time slot. We use shovels and heavy-duty bags to clear the waste, whether it is in a muddy rural lane or a paved back yard.
3. Sweep Up: Once the bulk of the rubbish is loaded, we then sweep the ground thoroughly to remove small debris and potential hazards like nails or glass.
4. Disposal: You also receive a digital Waste Transfer Note immediately. This is your proof that the waste was handled by an Environment Agency Registered carrier.
We operate a transparent pricing model based on volume and weight. Unlike a skip, where you pay for the whole container even if you only half-fill it, with us, you only pay for the rubbish we take away. As a result, you benefit from a fairer and more cost-effective service.

Our local crews are familiar with the specific logistical challenges of the borough. Here are a few examples of recent clearances:
– Fly-Tipping Clearance in Saddleworth
We removed a pile of renovation debris dumped in a narrow country lane. Importantly, our van accessed the site where an 18-tonne skip wagon would have been too wide and afterwards, we swept the mud and stones clear.
– Back Alley Clearance in Werneth
A landlord contacted us regarding sofas and black bags dumped in the rear alley of a terraced row. As a result, we provided a rapid “Wait & Load” service to clear the blockage quickly, therefore avoiding inconvenience to neighbours or blocking the road.
– Builders Waste Removal in Chadderton
We cleared a pile of rubble and plasterboard from a driveway. In this case, the customer chose us because the Arkwright Street tip would not accept the volume of construction waste they needed to move.
We cover the entire borough of Oldham and the immediate surrounding districts. Our teams are in your area daily.
Yes. We frequently clear inert waste such as piles of rubble, soil, and broken bricks that are often fly-tipped. We charge based on the weight and volume, providing a much easier solution than loading a car yourself, especially given the strict limits on construction waste at council tips.
Yes. If the fly-tipping includes larger structures like abandoned sheds or fencing panels, we have the tools to dismantle them safely and remove the timber for recycling.
Absolutely. We pride ourselves on our “Sweep Up” promise. Whether the waste was dumped on a driveway, a back alley, or a grassy verge, we will sweep the area clean so it is safe for pedestrians and vehicles.
Yes. We know that many properties in areas like Mossley and Saddleworth are located on steep hills or have narrow access lanes. Our vehicles are agile and our teams are experienced in manual handling, allowing us to clear waste from locations that skip lorries cannot reach.
