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.
ChristineIf you are looking for a reliable Garage Clearance Company in Sheffield, The Rubbish Removers is your local, professional solution for reclaiming your space. We understand that garages in the Steel City often become dumping grounds for everything from old furniture and garden tools to renovation debris, but clearing them out doesn’t have to be a headache. Whether you are dealing with a property on one of Sheffield’s famous steep hills where a skip is dangerous, or you live near tramlines where parking is restricted, our two-man teams provide a fast, “Wait & Load” service that gets the job done without the hassle.
We are a fully licensed Upper Tier Waste Carrier (license number CBDU409710) with over 20 years of experience serving South Yorkshire. Additionally, as a family-run business, we pride ourselves on being a Which? Trusted Trader as well as a member of the Trading Standards “Buy With Confidence” scheme, giving you complete peace of mind that your waste is handled legally and ethically.

The Safe Alternative to Skips on Hills: Sheffield is built on seven hills, and as any local knows, streets such as Blake Street or those in Walkley can be incredibly steep. Placing a skip on these gradients is often unsafe or prohibited due to the risk of the skip slipping or handbrakes failing. In contrast, our mobile van teams arrive, load your waste immediately and leave, eliminating the need for dangerous roadside equipment.
We Do The Heavy Lifting & Sweeping: Unlike a skip where you have to haul heavy items yourself, our uniformed staff do all the hard work. We clear everything from heavy workbenches to bags of rubble. Once the garage is empty, we don’t just drive away; we also sweep the floor clean, leaving your garage ready for your car or your next project.
Rapid Turnaround: We know that when you decide to clear a garage, you want it done quickly. With this in mind, we offer same-day or next-day appointments, acting as an “Emergency Service” for waste. This is far faster than waiting for a skip delivery or the Council’s bulky waste collection.
Versatile Waste Handling: We take items that others might refuse. Whether it is old paint tins (empty/dry only), scrap metal, dismantling old shelving units or clearing general household junk, we handle it all. Furthermore, we are committed to a greener future and divert 95% of the waste we collect from landfill.

We clear virtually anything found in a typical garage in Sheffield. Our teams are trained to handle mixed loads efficiently:
General Junk: Old furniture, cardboard boxes, books and household clutter.
DIY & Construction Waste: Timber, plasterboard, tiles, bricks and rubble.
Garden Overflow: Old lawnmowers, tools, baggedsoil, turf and sheds.

We have refined our process to be as simple and stress-free as possible.
1. Get a Quote: Give us a ring on 0114 438 7272, fill in our contact form or WhatsApp a photo of the garage contents to 07802 860 731.
2. Clearance: Our two-man Sheffield garage clearance team arrives in a specific time slot. We do all the lifting and loading, regardless of how cluttered the space is.
3. Sweep Up: Once the bulk of the items are removed, we sweep the area clean so you are left with a usable space immediately.
4. Disposal: We provide a digital Waste Transfer Note (WTN) instantly, proving your duty of care has been met and the waste is heading to a licensed recycling centre.
We operate a transparent pricing model based on volume and 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: Prices start from £80+vat. Ideal for a standalone item like a large workbench or a pile of old tyres.
Quarter Van Load: Roughly 20-30 bin bags. Perfect for clearing out a small corner of the garage or a few shelves of junk.
Half Van Load: Roughly 6 cubic yards (comparable to a builders’ skip). Great for a standard single garage declutter.
Full Van Load: 12-14 cubic yards. Equivalent to two large skips. Suitable for a complete double garage clearance or a hoard.

Get a Firm Price: Send a photo of your pile to 07802 860 731 for an instant estimate.
Cellar & Garage Clearance in Walkley: We cleared a large accumulation of scrap metal and old furniture from a property on a very steep terrace. A skip was impossible due to the gradient, so our “Wait & Load” service was the only safe option.
Garden & Garage Tidy in Fulwood: A client in the green suburbs needed a garage clearing of old gardening equipment and rotten fencing. We dismantled the old shelving units accordingly and recycled 100% of the wood waste.
Commercial Clearance near Meadowhall: We cleared a lock-up garage used for storage near the tramlines. Stopping was difficult, but our team timed the loading perfectly to avoid disrupting traffic or incurring fines.
We cover the entire Sheffield metropolitan area and surrounding districts. Whether you are in the city centre, the industrial east or the residential west, our teams are nearby.

Q: Do you take soil, rubble, and bricks?
A: Yes. We frequently clear inert waste like bagged soil and also rubble left over from DIY projects. We charge by weight for these heavy materials, but we handle the loading for you, saving your back from the hard work.
Q: Do you dismantle metal racking or wooden workbenches?
A: Absolutely. Our teams carry tools to dismantle sheds as well as shelving units and large furniture to ensure they fit in the van efficiently. Full dismantling and removal is part of our standard service.
Q: Will you clean up the mess afterwards?
A: Yes. We pride ourselves on our “Sweep Up” promise. Garages are often dusty and dirty places, but we ensure we leave the floor broom-clean before we depart.
Q: Do I need a skip permit for Sheffield?
A: Only if you hire a skip and place it on the road. Sheffield City Council requires permits for this, which can take time to arrange and also costs money. Because we use mobile vans and load immediately (“Wait & Load”), no permit is required.
Q: Will Sheffield City Council take my garage waste?
A: The Council offers a bulky collection service, but it is expensive (starting around £38) and has strict limits on the number of items. They generally will not clear loose rubble, bags of mixed junk or DIY waste. We take everything in one go.
Q: Can you collect from properties with difficult access in Sheffield?
A: Yes. We are experts at navigating Sheffield’s unique geography. Whether you are on a steep hill in Crookes or a narrow terraced street in Heeley with parking permits, our vans are more agile than skip lorries and can access areas others cannot.
