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.

Operating throughout Lancashire, we understand the specific logistical challenges of the Ribble Valley, from narrow rural lanes that make skip access difficult to the strict aesthetic standards of local villages. In addition, we are proud members of the Trading Standards “Buy With Confidence” scheme, providing total peace of mind that every collection is vetted and compliant. Therefore, our uniformed two-man teams offer a complete “Wait & Load” service, meaning we arrive, load your waste immediately, and sweep up afterwards.

Because skips can be a nightmare in the Ribble Valley, whether you live down a single-track lane where an HGV cannot pass or you simply don’t want a metal box ruining the look of your driveway, our vans are the perfect solution. In addition, we are cheaper than a skip, require no permit fees and handle all the heavy lifting for you.
Unlike skip companies that leave rust marks or debris behind, we take pride in leaving your property spotless. After clearing branches, bagged soil or old decking, our team sweeps the area clean, ensuring your patio or driveway is ready to use immediately.
If your green bin is overflowing or you have just finished a weekend landscaping project, you don’t want waste sitting around for weeks. Therefore, we offer a fast, reliable same-day response to urgent enquiries, acting as an “Emergency Service” for your garden waste.
Importantly, we are committed to a greener future. As a result, 95% of the garden waste we collect, including grass cuttings, hedge trimmings and wood is diverted from landfill and recycled at licensed transfer stations.

We offer transparent pricing based on volume and also weight. You only pay for the space you fill, unlike a skip where you pay for fresh air if you don’t fill it.
– Single Item
Starting from £80 + VAT, this option is ideal for a dismantled shed (6×4) or a small pile of fence panels.
– Quarter Van Load
Typically, this covers 20–30 bin bags. As a result, it’s perfect for a small garden tidy-up or a pile of hedge trimmings.
– Half Van Load
With a capacity of roughly 6 cubic yards, this is comparable to a standard builders’ skip (6-yarder). Therefore, it’s great for a medium landscaping project or clearing old decking.
– Full Van Load
Finally, offering 12–14 cubic yards (100+ bin bags), this large capacity is equivalent to roughly 2 x standard 8-yard skips. As a result, it’s ideal for large garden clearances or removing heavy bagged soil and turf.

Garden Clearance in Rural Lanes
– In this instance, we cleared a large volume of hedge trimmings and old fencing from a property with single-track access. Because a skip wagon would have blocked the lane, our van used a “Wait & Load” approach, thereby clearing the site in under an hour without disrupting neighbours.
Shed Removal in Stone Terrace
– Similarly, a customer needed a rotten 8×6 shed removed from a property with no rear access. As a result, our team dismantled the shed, carried the timber safely through the property and swept up all sawdust and debris afterwards.
Landscaping Waste in Detached Home
– We collected a heavy load of soil and turf from a driveway renovation. Because the owner wanted to avoid a skip on their new resin driveway, our rubber tyred vehicles ensured no damage was caused during the collection.
We cover the entire Ribble Valley and also the surrounding districts, providing trusted local service to:
Yes. Our teams carry the tools needed to safely dismantle rotten sheds, greenhouses and broken fencing. In addition, the labour of dismantling is included in our service, saving you the hassle of doing it yourself
Absolutely. The “We Sweep Up” promise is a core part of our service. Whether we are clearing muddy turf or dusty rubble, we sweep your driveway, patio or path thoroughly before we leave.
Only if you hire a skip that needs to go on the public highway. Because skip permits can be costly and time consuming, our Wait & Load method avoids the need for a permit, saving you money and paperwork.
No. Most local councils, including those in Lancashire, have strict collection limits. Furthermore, they often refuse construction waste like bricks, bagged soil or dismantled sheds. Therefore, we collect all these items in a single visit, often on the same day.
Yes. Because many properties are on steep hills or narrow rural lanes where HGV skip wagons cannot fit, our agile vans and experienced teams can handle even the most challenging access, ensuring your waste is cleared regardless of location.
