Why Choose Us for Garden Waste Collection in South Ribble?

Skip Hire Alternative: Choosing our service is often significantly cheaper and faster than traditional skip hire. Significantly, you’ll avoid the hidden costs of skip permits, which are often required for roadside placement across many parts of South Ribble and you won’t have a heavy metal container sitting on your driveway for weeks. In contrast, we arrive, load everything immediately and leave your property clear within the hour.

We Sweep Up: We pride ourselves on leaving your garden or driveway in a spotlessly clean condition. Our team doesn’t just clear the heavy branches and bagged soil; we also bring shovels and brooms to sweep through the area once the waste is on our van. This “tidy up” promise ensures that your outdoor space is ready to use the moment we depart.

Speed and Professionalism: We provide an emergency same-day response to enquiries, making us the ideal choice if you have a pile of green waste that needs to vanish before a garden party or a property viewing. Our uninformed teams carry out every South Ribble garden waste collection in tracked vehicles, giving you total peace of mind and a professional service from start to finish.

Full Dismantling Service: If your garden waste includes more than just grass and hedges, we can still help. We provide a full dismantling service for old, rotten timber sheds, decking and fencing. Our team handles the heavy demolition and clears all the debris, including the felt and glass, so you don’t have to risk a back injury or a trip to the tip.

Typical Load Sizes & Pricing Guide

We operate a transparent pricing model based on the volume and weight of the waste we collect. This means you only pay for the space you fill in our vehicle, rather than paying for a half-empty skip.

Single Item / Small Pile: Perfect for a single appliance or roughly 10-15 bags of green waste. Prices start from £80+vat.

Quarter Van Load: Equivalent to a 6×4 dismantled garden shed or a small garden tidy-up. This covers approximately 2-3 cubic yards.

Half Van Load: Roughly 6 cubic yards, comparable to a standard builders’ skip. Ideal for major hedge removals or garage clearances.

Full Van Load: A massive 12-14 cubic yards, equivalent to two standard skips. Best for full garden renovations or site clearances.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Do you dismantle sheds or garden structures? Yes. Full dismantling and removal are core parts of our service. We bring the necessary tools to safely take down sheds, greenhouses and decking, while ensuring all glass and timber are removed safely.

Q: Will you clean up the mess afterwards? YES. Significantly, we always sweep up after ourselves. Whether we are clearing from a muddy garden or a paved driveway, we ensure the area is left broom-clean before we leave the site.

Q: Do I need a skip permit for South Ribble? Only if you choose to use a skip. South Ribble Council requires permits and lighting for skips placed on the public highway, which can be both slow and expensive to arrange. In contrast, our “Wait & Load” service requires no permit because our vans are attended and off the road quickly.

Q: Will South Ribble Council take my DIY or garden waste? Generally, the council bulky collection service is very limited. Most councils, including local authorities in Lancashire, refuse to take soil, rubble or dismantled sheds. We fill the gap by taking everything the council leaves behind.

Q: Can you collect from properties with difficult access in South Ribble? Yes. We are experts at navigating the narrow lanes as well as tight residential streets found in older parts of the borough. Our vans are far more mobile than large skip lorries, allowing us to reach properties where a skip wagon simply couldn’t go.
