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 also understand that dealing with waste in Preston can be frustrating, especially due to the strict appointment-only system at the Tom Benson Way tip in Ingol. As a result, our service removes the need for pre-booking slots or queuing at weekends. Furthermore, we are proud to be a Which? Trusted Trader and a Trading Standards “Buy With Confidence” member, ensuring a professional, legal and ethical service every time. From single items to full property clearances, we provide full documentation, including a digital Waste Transfer Note, giving you complete peace of mind that your rubbish is handled responsibly!
Hiring a skip in Preston often involves costly road permits from the City Council, especially in student-dense areas like Plungington where parking is limited. Instead, our “Wait & Load” service removes this hassle completely. We arrive, load your waste immediately and then leave, meaning you avoid permit fees, bay suspensions and the risk of neighbours filling your skip overnight.
Unlike a skip that can leave rust marks or scratches on your driveway, our service is clean and also respectful. Once the rubbish is cleared, our team sweeps the area thoroughly. Whether it’s a back yard or a commercial loading bay, we leave the space spotless so that it’s ready to use straight away.
Sometimes, waste needs to go immediately, particularly during busy student changeovers near UCLan or when a renovation project finishes unexpectedly. For this reason, we aim to offer same-day collection whenever possible. As a result, we act quickly to clear unsightly piles before they attract pests or fly-tipping.
Finally, we are committed to a greener future and divert 95% of collected waste from landfill. All rubbish is taken to licensed transfer stations, where it is carefully sorted and recycled. This approach is far more sustainable than general disposal and furthermore, ensures full compliance with environmental regulations.

What we take – We handle a vast range of non-hazardous waste streams. If it is not on the prohibited list (e.g., asbestos, petrol), we can usually take it.
To begin give us a call on 0161 339 7938, fill in our contact form or additionally you can WhatsApp a photo of your pile to 07802 860 731 for a fast estimate.
Next, our uniformed team arrives in a tracked vehicle within your agreed time slot. We arrive fully equipped, bringing all the necessary tools, shovels and also brooms to clear the lot efficiently.
Afterwards, we don’t just grab and then go. Instead, we sweep the driveway, garden or alleyway thoroughly, ensuring no loose debris is left behind.
You’ll then receive an instant digital Waste Transfer Note (WTN) via email. This provides essential proof that your waste has been disposed of legally and also protects you from Duty of Care liability.
We operate a transparent pricing model 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
From £80+VAT, ideal for one bulky item or a small pile of renovation waste (approx. 10–15 bags).
Quarter Van Load
Next, around 2–3 cubic yards, equivalent to a dismantled 6×4 shed or a small garden tidy-up.
Half Van Load
Then, roughly 6 cubic yards, offering similar space to a builders’ skip but with no permit fees or heavy lifting.
Full Van Load
Finally, 12–14 cubic yards / 100+ bags, equal to around two standard 8-yard skips and also ideal for full clearances.

Recently, we cleared a large volume of end-of-tenancy furniture and black bags from a terraced property. By using a “Wait & Load” approach, we avoided the need to suspend parking bays in this high-density area.
Despite Preston’s complex one-way systems, our team successfully cleared old desks as well as the IT equipment from a second-floor office near the Harris Museum. In addition, using the service lift and loading bay, we ensured zero disruption to local traffic.
When a warehouse unit required urgent removal of packaging waste and also pallets, we provided a same-day response. As a result, the client was able to continue logistics operations without safety hazards.

We provide comprehensive coverage across Preston and also the immediate surrounding districts.
Our local crews are familiar with the roads and access points throughout:
Yes. We handle heavy inert waste that many standard refuse collections refuse. Because we charge by weight and also volume, this makes it a convenient solution for DIY renovation debris.
Absolutely. In fact, our team is fully equipped to dismantle and remove old sheds, decking as well as fencing. Additionally, we safely remove rotten wood, felt and glass as part of the service.
Yes. One of our core promises is that we always sweep up. Whether it’s a muddy garden clearance or a dusty garage clear-out, we leave your property broom-clean and also tidy.
Only if you hire a skip that sits on the public highway. Preston City Council requires permits for this, which can be costly and also slow to arrange. By contrast, our mobile vans load immediately, so no permit is needed, even in restricted parking zones or one-way streets.
Yes. Because we know areas like Plungington have narrow back alleys and limited parking, our vans are more agile than skip wagons. As a result, we can access tight terraced streets and student areas that larger vehicles cannot reach.
