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 Bulky Waste Collection in Preston?
Moving heavy items in Preston often presents unique logistical challenges, from the complex one-way systems in the city centre to the high-density parking in residential areas. For this reason, here is why we are the preferred skip hire alternative:
We Collect From Inside
Unlike the local council, which strictly requires items to be left on the curbside, our team enters your property to collect items from any room. As a result, this is essential for residents on terraced streets in Deepdale or Plungington, where leaving items on the pavement can cause obstructions or attract fly-tipping.
Protection & Care
Importantly, we treat your home with respect. Our crews are trained to manoeuvre bulky items such as corner sofas and American-style fridges through tight hallways and doorframes. Therefore, your walls, floors, and paintwork remain protected.
Same-Day Service Available
If your new furniture is arriving today, we can often clear the old items immediately. In fact, we operate as an “Emergency Service” for waste, meaning you are not left with clutter for weeks.
Comprehensive Collection
Finally, we take items that others often refuse, including large bed frames. When necessary, we dismantle them to ensure safe removal through doorways and narrow access points.
The Rubbish Removers vs. Preston City Council Bulk Collection
While the council offers a collection service, it is often not suitable for urgent or complex clearances. See how we compare:
| Feature | The Rubbish Removers | Preston City Council |
|---|---|---|
| Collection Point | Any Room / Upstairs (We do the lifting) | Curbside Only (You must drag it out) |
| Speed | Same Day / 24 Hours | Booking Required (Often weeks wait) |
| Heavy Lifting | 2-Man Team Included | Zero Assistance |
| Item Limits | Multiple Items & Mixed Waste | Strict Item Limits (Often 3 items max) |
| Waste Types | Furniture, Appliances & DIY Waste | No Construction/DIY Waste allowed |
What we take – We handle a vast range of household and also commercial items, ensuring your property is left clear and spacious.
- Furniture: Sectional sofas, recliners, Chesterfields, armchairs, dining tables and also wardrobes.
- Bedroom Items: Memory foam mattresses, King size beds, bed frames, headboard as well as bunk beds.
- White Goods: American-style fridges, chest freezers, washing machines and also tumble dryers.
- General Junk: Bagged rubbish, carpets, underlay and also old bulky toys.
Typical Load Sizes & Pricing Guide
We offer transparent pricing based on the volume of waste we remove. You only pay for the space you fill on our truck, unlike hiring a skip where you pay a flat fee even if you fill it halfway with air.
- Single Item: For example, this option is ideally suited for a standalone bulky item such as a fridge, sofa or large wardrobe. Prices start from £80 + VAT.
- Quarter Van Load: In many cases, this is roughly equivalent to a small garden tidy-up or clearing a box room, with a capacity of approximately 2–3 cubic yards.
- Half Van Load: By comparison, this offers a similar capacity to a standard builders’ skip (6-yarder). Therefore, it is perfect for a master bedroom clear-out or a full garage clearance.
- Full Van Load: Finally, this provides a large capacity equivalent to roughly two standard 8-yard skips. As a result, it is suitable for full house clearances or large office strip-outs.

Recent Jobs in Preston
We are active daily across the city. Here are a few examples of recent bulky waste collections we have completed:
Sofa Removal in Plungington
We collected a heavy three-piece suite from a terraced property. Because the narrow street made skip access impossible, our van used a “Wait & Load” approach. As a result, we cleared the items in under 30 minutes without blocking the road.
Student Clearance near UCLan
A landlord needed mattresses and old desks removed urgently before new tenants arrived. In response, we navigated the parking restrictions by coordinating directly with the property manager, allowing for swift and efficient loading.
Garage Clearance in Fulwood
We cleared a garage full of old furniture and DIY waste. Not only did the client avoid the queue at Tom Benson Way but we also swept the floor clean afterwards.
Office Waste in the City Centre
We removed twenty old office chairs and filing cabinets from a second-floor office. By carefully managing the service lift logistics, our team ensured zero disruption to the business.
How It Works
We have refined our process to be as effortless as possible for you.
1. Get a Quote: Give us a call on 0161 339 7938 or you can also WhatsApp a photo of the items to 07802 860 731.
2. We Arrive: Our uniformed 2-man team arrives within a specific time window, giving you a courtesy call when they are nearby.
3. We Remove: We then carefully carry all items out of your property, navigating stairs and tight corners safely.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to move the items myself?
No. In fact, our service includes full labour. Our professional two-man team will collect items from upstairs bedrooms, basements, or apartments. As a result, we do all the heavy lifting safely, so you do not risk injury.
Do you take large or awkward items like American fridges?
Yes. In addition, our vehicles are designed to handle large, bulky items. For example, we have the tools and experience to remove American-style fridge freezers, large corner sofas, and heavy wardrobes.
Is your disposal legal?
Absolutely. Importantly, we are an Environment Agency Registered carrier (Licence CBDU409710). Furthermore, every job comes with a digital Waste Transfer Note, proving your waste has been disposed of legally at a licensed transfer station. Therefore, you are fully protected under your Duty of Care.
Does Preston City Council collect from inside my house?
No. By contrast, the council’s bulky waste service is strictly curbside only. As a result, this can be very difficult for residents in terraced properties in areas like Plungington or Deepdale, where leaving items on the street is unsafe or impractical. Instead, we solve this by coming directly into your home to collect.
I live on a narrow street in Preston, can you still help?
Yes. Importantly, we know that parking in areas like Plungington or near the university can be extremely tight. Because of this, our vans are more mobile than large skip lorries and can navigate narrow back streets or park temporarily for a “Wait & Load” service without requiring parking bay suspensions.
Save your back and your walls!
