The Rubbish Removers Ltd provides a fast, fully licensed Garden Waste collection service across Rossendale, ideal for properties where skip hire isn’t practical. As a local company, we understand the valley’s challenges, from steep gradients in Rawtenstall to narrow cobbled streets in Bacup.
Instead of a skip, our uniformed two-man teams offer a “Wait & Load” service, which requires no council permits and doesn’t block driveways. Furthermore, we handle all heavy lifting, clearing branches, old turf and also dismantled sheds from anywhere on your property. Committed to sustainability, we ensure 95% of green waste is composted. With over 20 years of experience and full insurance, we leave your garden spotless and ready to use immediately.
Established for over 20 years & covering all areas around the North West, Greater Manchester & Yorkshire.

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.

We Are the Skip Hire Alternative
The Rossendale Valley is famous for its steep hills and narrow stone streets, which can make hiring a skip a logistical nightmare. In many cases, skip wagons struggle with the valley’s gradients, and additionally, placing a skip on the road requires costly council permits. Instead, our agile removal vans can access even the tightest lanes and driveways. With our “Wait & Load” service, we arrive, load your garden waste immediately and leave, meaning no permits are required.
We Sweep Up Afterwards
Unlike skip hire, where you may be left with debris on your driveway or road, our team takes pride in leaving your property spotless. Once the branches, soil or old decking have been cleared, we sweep the area thoroughly. Not only do we remove the rubbish but we also leave your garden or driveway ready to use again immediately.
Emergency Same-Day Response
We understand that garden projects often run on tight schedules or that unexpected storms can bring down fences requiring urgent removal. For this reason, we offer a same-day or next-day response to ensure your garden doesn’t remain cluttered. Effectively, we act as the “Emergency Service” for waste, arriving within a specific time window and calling you 30 minutes before arrival so you’re not left waiting.
100% Green Waste Recycled
As part of our commitment to a greener future, we ensure garden waste doesn’t simply end up in landfill. As an Upper Tier Waste Carrier, all green waste is taken to licensed transfer stations where it is composted and recycled. Furthermore, we dismantle sheds and separate wood, glass and felt to maximise recycling rates.

What we take – We handle a wide variety of outdoor and garden refuse, ensuring every load is dealt with responsibly.
We have refined our process to be as simple and stress-free as possible for our customers in Rossendale.
First, simply call 0161 339 7938 or you can also WhatsApp a photo of your waste pile to 07802 860 731 for a fast and accurate estimate.
Next, our professional team arrives in a tracked vehicle, bringing shovels, rakes and heavy-duty bags. As a result, we clear the waste efficiently, whether it’s on a driveway or at the bottom of a muddy garden.
Once the bulk waste has been loaded, we sweep patios, driveways or paths, removing mud and loose debris so the area is left tidy and safe.
Finally, we transport the waste directly to a licensed recycling facility. At the same time, you receive a digital Waste Transfer Note via email, confirming your Duty of Care obligations have been met.

Our pricing is transparent and 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.

Terraced Garden Clearance in the Valley
– Recently, we cleared large piles of old stone and also bagged soil from a terraced property on a steep hillside. By using our “Wait & Load” service, we avoided the need for a skip, which would have been impossible to place safely on the narrow gradient.
Shed Removal in Rossendale
– In another recent job, a customer needed a rotten 8×6 shed removed quickly before a landscaping project began. First, we dismantled the structure, then removed the glass safely and finally swept the concrete base clean, all within just 90 minutes.
Green Waste Removal
– We collected a large pile of hedge trimmings and also branches from a property with restricted access. As a result, our team manually carried the waste to the van, saving the homeowner from dragging heavy bags through a narrow side alley.
We cover the whole of the Rossendale Valley and also the immediate surrounding areas. Our local crews know the roads well, from the main valley routes to the steeper residential lanes.
Yes, we do. In fact, we are fully licensed to carry heavy inert waste such as bagged soil, rubble and bricks. Unlike some services that refuse these materials due to weight restrictions, our vans are built to handle dense loads. For clarity, pricing for heavy waste is based on weight to ensure a fair and transparent cost.
Absolutely. As part of our service, our team arrives with the tools needed to safely dismantle sheds, greenhouses, decking and other garden structures. Importantly, we separate wood, glass and felt for recycling, so you don’t have to deal with the demolition or disposal yourself.
Yes. Without exception, our “We Sweep Up” promise is included in every job. Whether it’s mud from a garden clearance or sawdust from a shed removal, we thoroughly sweep the area before leaving, ensuring your space is clean and furthermore, ready to use.
Only if you hire a skip and place it on a public road. However, council skip permits can be costly and time consuming. Instead, our mobile vans load and leave immediately, meaning no permit is required, saving you both time and also money.
Generally, council bulky waste services have strict limitations. They often refuse items such as bagged soil, rubble, fencing and other construction or DIY waste. By contrast, we collect all approved waste types from anywhere on your property, not just the curbside.
