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.

Whether you are dealing with a pile of garden waste in the green suburbs or industrial scrap from a city centre site, our uniformed local crews are here to help. You can call our South Yorkshire team today on 0114 438 7272 or send a photo of your rubbish to 07802 860 731 for an instant quote. We offer a same-day service wherever possible, making us the perfect choice for an emergency waste collection.

Clearing waste in the Steel City presents unique challenges, from the incredibly steep hills like Blake Street to the busy tramlines that crisscross the centre. Our rubbish clearance service is the ultimate skip hire alternative because we don’t require permits and we don’t leave a heavy metal box blocking your access for weeks. We provide a “Wait and Load” service, meaning our vehicle arrives, our two-man team loads everything and we leave immediately.
We are proud to be Trading Standards Approved through the “Buy With Confidence” scheme. Our rubbish collection team doesn’t just clear the waste; we also sweep up the area afterwards, leaving your driveway or garden spotless. This is particularly helpful in Sheffield’s terraced areas where on-street parking is limited and a skip would cause friction with your neighbours.

• Single Item: Perfect for a standalone bulky item such as a sofa or fridge. Prices start from £80+vat.
• Quarter Van Load: Roughly 20 to 30 bin bags. Ideal for a small garden tidy-up or a bathroom rip-out.

Cellar Clearance in Walkley: We cleared a large amount of household junk from a steep terraced property. By using our wait and load method, we avoided the need for a skip permit on a very narrow street.
Garden Waste Removal in Dormore: Our Sheffield rubbish clearance team cleared a dismantled shed as well as several bags of green waste from a hilltop garden. We ensured the area was swept clean despite the difficult, sloped access.
Commercial Rubbish Clearance near the Tramlines: We removed a pile of shop-fitting debris from a city centre unit. We timed the collection to avoid peak tram times, subsequently ensuring no disruption to local transport.
We provide full coverage across the entire Sheffield borough as well as the surrounding South Yorkshire districts.

Q: Do you take soil, rubble, and bricks?
A: Yes. Our Sheffield rubbish clearance teams handle inert waste like bagged soil and also rubble that many other carriers refuse. Furthermore, we charge based on weight and volume to ensure you get a fair price for these heavy materials.
Q: Do you dismantle sheds or garden structures?
A: Yes. Full dismantling and removal is a core part of our service. We take care of the rotten wood, felt and also glass, leaving the site clear and safe.
Q: Do I need a skip permit for Sheffield?
A: You only need a permit if you choose a traditional skip placed on the road. Because our vans are mobile and we load them while we wait, you require no permit for our service.
Q: Will Sheffield City Council take my DIY or garden waste?
A: Sheffield City Council charges roughly £38 or more for bulky collections, but they are often strict on what they take. In addition, they usually refuse heavy DIY waste like rubble, soil, and large dismantled structures.
Q: Can you collect from properties with difficult access in Sheffield?
A: Yes. We are experts at navigating Sheffield’s famous hills. Even on steep streets like Blake Street or in narrow back lanes where a skip wagon cannot go, our vans and teams can still help.
Q: Can I take my own rubbish to the local recycling centre (HWRC)?
A: You can use sites like Longley Avenue West or Beighton Road, but be aware that if you borrow or hire a van, you will likely need a permit from the council. We offer a much easier alternative that saves you the trip and the heavy lifting.
