A really great service. Arrived on time, never stopped working, took everything as promised, cleaned up after they had finished, and all done with good humour. Thank you so much Mike and Peter doing such an outstanding job.

Local council had a one month waiting time, to collect a sofa so rang Rubbish Removers who collected the next day at the time they said they would. It cost me more than the council but worth it to get the job done. Excellent service and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend and use them again

We Collect From Inside: Unlike the council where you must drag heavy items to the curbside, we come directly into your lounge, conservatory or bedroom. We do all the heavy lifting so you never have to strain your back.
Protection & Care: Navigating modern estates or traditional terraced streets requires skill. We plan lift and stair access in advance, using proper techniques and protection to ensure your walls, floors and doorways remain completely free from scratches.
Speed: When your new sofa is arriving today, you need the old one gone immediately. We offer a same-day service and provide a specific arrival window with a courtesy call 30 minutes before we turn up.
All Styles Taken: From large corner sectionals and heavy recliners to standard sofa beds, we dismantle and remove all types of seating. We also take matching living room furniture at the same time.

Prices are entirely transparent. You only pay for the space your furniture takes up in our van, unlike skip hire where you pay for fresh air.
Prices start from £80+vat. Ideal for a standalone bulky item like a heavy three-seater sofa, a recliner or a large armchair. Cheaper and faster than council bulky collection.
Roughly 20 to 30 bin bags or 2 to 3 cubic yards. So, perfect for a standard three-piece suite or a corner sofa along with a few extra bags of living room clutter.
Roughly 6 cubic yards. Comparable capacity to a standard builders skip. Also, ideal if you are clearing out an entire living room, including the sofa, TV unit, coffee tables and old carpets.
12 to 14 cubic yards. A massive capacity equivalent to roughly two standard 8-yard skips. Perfect for full property clearances where multiple sofas and bedroom furniture need removing at once.
Get a Firm Price: Send a photo of your furniture to 07802 860 731.

Terraced Clearance in Bamber Bridge: We cleared a heavy sofa bed from a front lounge, navigating the tight front door without touching the freshly painted walls.
Upstairs Removal in Penwortham: Our two-man team carried a heavy recliner suite down a narrow staircase in a first-floor apartment, keeping shared communal areas completely clean and safe.

We provide fast and reliable collections across South Ribble and the surrounding local districts.
Q: Do I need to move my sofa outside before collection? A: No, you do not need to move your sofa yourself. Instead, our experienced two-man teams collect furniture directly from inside your property. As a result, you avoid the strain, hassle and risk of injury caused by moving bulky items.
Q: Can you remove sofas from upstairs rooms? A: Yes, we can remove sofas from upstairs rooms, flats and properties with difficult access. In addition, our team carefully plans each removal to safely navigate hallways, doors and staircases.
Q: What happens to my old sofa after removal? A: Your old sofa is disposed of responsibly through ethical waste management methods. Moreover, we aim to recycle and reuse as much material as possible, reducing the amount sent to landfill.
Q: Does South Ribble Council collect from inside my house? A: No. Council collections are very strict on their curbside only rules. This is physically demanding and highly inconvenient for residents living in terraced properties or apartments across South Ribble.
Q: I live on a narrow street in South Ribble, can you still help? A: Yes. We know that residential parking around older areas like Bamber Bridge can be very tight. Our vans are far more mobile than large skip lorries and we operate a rapid load service to prevent road blockages or neighbour disputes.
Q: Can I take my own sofa to the local Farington tip? A: You can, but you need a suitable vehicle and the strength to load and unload it yourself. Lancashire tips also operate strict van permit systems which can result in you being turned away if you hire or borrow a commercial vehicle.
