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.

Why Choose Us for Rubbish Clearance in Oldham?
Skip Hire Alternative
Hiring a skip in Oldham often requires an expensive road permit, especially on the tight terraced streets where parking is premium. Therefore, we offer a “Wait & Load” service that removes the need for permits entirely. In practice, we arrive, load the waste immediately, and drive away, meaning you don’t have a metal box blocking your front door for weeks.
We Sweep Up
Once the bulk of the rubbish is gone, we don’t just leave. Instead, our team sweeps the area thoroughly, leaving your driveway, garden, or back street broom-clean. This is especially important in shared access areas or “2-up 2-down” terraces, where mess can annoy neighbours.
Emergency Speed
If you have been let down by another company or need urgent fly-tipping prevention on private land, we offer a same-day response. As a result, we act as the emergency service for waste, helping you reclaim your space instantly.
Safe Handling on Hills
Oldham is famous for its steep gradients. In fact, placing a skip on a steep hill like Blake Street or in Saddleworth can be dangerous or impossible. Therefore, our vans are mobile and safe; we park securely, load the waste by hand, and ensure no damage is done to the road or your property.
The Rubbish Removers vs. Skip Hire in Oldham
| Feature | The Rubbish Removers | Skip Hire |
|---|---|---|
| Labour | We Load Everything (You relax) | You Do All The Work (Heavy lifting) |
| Permits | No Permit Needed (Wait & Load) | £30-£50 Permit Fee (Plus wait times) |
| Driveway | Safe (Rubber Tyres, no damage) | Scratches/Cracks Paving (Heavy metal) |
| Speed | Gone in 60 Mins | Stuck on drive for weeks |
What We Take
We handle a vast range of outdoor and heavy waste streams that the council often refuses:
- General Rubbish: Black bags, mixed household junk, cardboard and also packaging.
- Garden Waste: Soil, turf, branches, old fencing as well as decking.
- Sheds & Structures: We fully dismantle and remove rotten sheds, greenhouses and playhouses, handling all the glass and felt.
- Fly-Tipping: Hazardous piles, tyres and also any unknown waste found on private land (full site assessment provided).
- Renovation Debris: Bricks, rubble, plasterboard as well as bathroom rip-outs.
How It Works
We have refined our process to suit the specific logistics of Oldham, ensuring minimum disruption to you and your neighbours.
1. Get a Quote: First, give us a call or WhatsApp a photo of the pile to 07802 860 731. In most cases, we can provide a firm price over the phone based on the volume.
2. Clearance: Next, our team arrives in a specific time slot. For example, for muddy gardens or dusty garages, we come prepared with shovels and heavy-duty sacks to move the waste efficiently without spreading dirt.
3. Sweep Up: Afterwards, we respect your property. Once the van is loaded, we sweep the area clean. In addition, if we have moved waste through a passageway or alley, we ensure that is swept too.
4. Disposal: Finally, you receive a digital Waste Transfer Note immediately. As a result, this serves as your proof that the waste has been disposed of responsibly at a licensed recycling centre, fulfilling your Duty of Care.
Typical Load Sizes & Pricing Guide
Our pricing is transparent and 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 space you use.
Single Item
Prices start from £80+VAT. For example, this is perfect for a standalone bulky item or a small pile of renovation tiles (approx. 10–15 bags).
Quarter Van Load
Roughly 2–3 cubic yards. In particular, this is equivalent to a dismantled 6×4 shed or a small garden tidy-up.
Half Van Load
Roughly 6 cubic yards. By comparison, this offers a similar capacity to a standard builders’ skip, but without the permit hassle. Therefore, it’s ideal for a garage clearance.
Full Van Load
12–14 cubic yards / 100+ bin bags. In fact, this massive capacity is equivalent to two standard 8-yard skips. As a result, it’s perfect for full house clearances or large landscaping projects.

Recent Jobs in Oldham
– Cellar Clearance in Town Centre
We cleared decades of accumulated junk from a steep terraced property. Because the street was too steep for a skip, our “Wait & Load” service was the only safe option. We manually carried everything up the cellar steps and loaded the van, leaving the basement clear.
– Rubble Removal in Saddleworth
A customer in Uppermill needed heavy stone and soil removed from a cottage renovation. The narrow country lane was inaccessible to 18-tonne skip wagons. Our agile removal vans navigated the lane easily, removing the inert waste in two loads.
– Mill Conversion Waste in Royton
We assisted a landlord clearing out a loft apartment in a converted mill. With no external storage space for a skip, we utilised the service lift and loading bay to clear old furniture and carpets within three hours.
– Garden Clearance in Chadderton
We dismantled a rotten shed and cleared overgrown brambles for a homeowner. We swept the patio afterwards, leaving it ready for their new landscaping project.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you take soil, rubble, and bricks?
Yes, we do. In fact, we are fully licensed to carry heavy inert waste. While the council tip at Arkwright Street has strict limits on DIY waste and rubble, we can take it all in one go. Furthermore, we charge by weight for dense materials but we handle all the loading for you.
Do you dismantle sheds or garden structures?
Absolutely. In addition, our teams carry the necessary tools to safely dismantle sheds, greenhouses, and decking. Moreover, we handle the hazardous parts like broken glass and rotten wood, ensuring the site is safe when we leave.
Will you clean up the mess afterwards?
Yes. As part of our service, the “We Sweep Up” promise is a core commitment. Whether it is dust from a garage clearance or mud from a garden job, we leave your driveway or patio spotless.
Do I need a skip permit for Oldham?
Only if you hire a skip that needs to go on the road. For example, Oldham Council requires permits for this, which costs money and takes time to process. However, our service uses “Wait & Load,” meaning the van is never parked permanently, so no permit is required.
Can you collect from properties with difficult access in Oldham?
Yes. In fact, we know the local logistics well, from the narrow lanes of Saddleworth to the steep cobbled streets of the town centre. Therefore, our vehicles are smaller and also more manoeuvrable than large skip lorries, allowing us to access properties that others cannot.
