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.

Why Choose Us for Bulky Waste Collection in Wigan?
- We Collect From Inside: Unlike the local council, we come straight into your lounge, kitchen, or upstairs bedroom to do all the heavy lifting. As a result, you do not need to struggle with moving awkward or oversized items yourself.
- Protection & Care: In addition, we take care when moving bulky items and use protection to look after flooring, walls, and doorways. This is especially important when navigating tight terraced doors in areas like Ince.
- Speed & Convenience: Furthermore, if you contact us early, we offer same-day service options. We also provide a specific arrival window and give you a quick call when we are on the way, so you are not left waiting around.
- All Styles Taken: Finally, from massive corner sectionals to heavy American fridge freezers and solid oak wardrobes, we have the right vehicles and manual handling training to take it all.

White Goods: American style fridges, chest freezers, washing machines, and cookers.

Typical Load Sizes & Pricing Guide
- Single Item: Prices start from £80+vat. Therefore ideal for a standalone bulky item like a fridge, heavy sofa, or solid wood wardrobe.
- Quarter Van Load: Roughly 20-30 bin bags or 2-3 cubic yards. So perfect for clearing out an under-stairs cupboard, a box room, or the remnants of a small bathroom refit.
- Half Van Load: Roughly 6 cubic yards or 50-60 bin bags. Also comparable capacity to a standard 6-yard builders’ skip, ideal for a large master bedroom clear-out or a full kitchen strip-out.
- Full Van Load: 12-14 cubic yards or 100+ bin bags (800kg payload). Equivalent to two standard 8-yard skips. Therefore suitable for full house clearances or massive domestic updates.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Do I need to move anything outside before you arrive?
A: No, not at all. We collect from inside your property, including upstairs rooms if required. This means you can leave everything exactly where it is.
Q: What happens to my bulky waste after collection?
A: Firstly, we load it safely into our vehicles. Then, it is taken to an authorised facility where items are sorted for reuse, recycling, or responsible disposal. Ultimately, we aim to recycle as much as possible and divert waste from landfill.
Q: Do you dismantle furniture before removal?
A: Yes, where needed. We can dismantle large items like wardrobes, bed frames, and sectional sofas to safely remove them from tight spaces. This is especially useful in older Wigan terraces with narrow staircases.
Q: Can I take my own sofa or fridge to the Kirkless or Slag Lane Recycling Centre?
A: You can, but it is not always practical. Wigan Council requires strict permits for vans at their tips. Additionally, Kirkless is notoriously busy and Slag Lane has restricted access hours. Therefore, hiring us saves you fuel, heavy lifting, and frustrating queues.
Q: Does Wigan Council collect from inside my house?
A: No, they do not. The council service is strictly curbside only. Because of this, residents in Wigan’s traditional terraced rows often struggle to get heavy furniture onto the pavement without help.
