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 dealing with illegal dumping on your land or need urgent Fly Tipping Clearance in Wigan, The Rubbish Removers Ltd is your licensed, local solution. Whether it is a pile of renovation debris dumped in a back alley in Ince or garden waste abandoned on a semi-rural lane in Standish, we clear the mess quickly and legally. Also as an Upper Tier Waste Carrier (license number CBDU409710), we ensure that you are never left liable for someone else’s rubbish, furthermore providing a full audit trail for every load we remove.
We also understand that Wigan covers a huge area, and waiting for council collection routes to reach outlying villages or deal with “back to back” terrace rows can take weeks. Therefore our professional, uniformed teams provide a rapid response to clear unsightly and hazardous waste immediately. So call our North West team on 0161 339 7938 or WhatsApp us on 07802 860 731 for a fast quote. We are also a Which? Trusted Trader and a Trading Standards “Buy With Confidence” member, so you can trust us to handle the job safely and responsibly.

The biggest risk with clearing dumped waste is the “Duty of Care.” If you use an unlicensed “man and van” found on social media, that waste often ends up dumped again, and you could face a £600 Fixed Penalty Notice or prosecution. However, we provide a digital Waste Transfer Note (WTN) instantly, proving your waste was disposed of at a licensed recycling centre.
Wigan’s classic red brick mining terraces, particularly in areas like Leigh and Ince, often have “back to back” layouts where placing a skip is impossible without blocking the road. Also a skip requires a council permit, which takes time to arrange. Therefore, our “Wait & Load” service avoids this entirely; we arrive, load the waste immediately, and leave, meaning no permits are required.
Fly-tipped waste attracts vermin and encourages others to dump more rubbish on top. Speed is therefore essential. However, unlike the council, which can be slow to react to fly tipping on private land, we offer same day or next day clearance to secure your property instantly.
We don’t just grab the big items and run. Our two man teams come equipped with shovels and brooms. Once the bulk of the waste is gone, we also sweep the area thoroughly, leaving your land, driveway, or alleyway spotless.

We handle the messy, heavy, and awkward items that are often found in fly tipped piles:

Hazardous Piles: Mixed waste containing black bags, broken furniture, and loose debris.
Builders Waste: Rubble, plasterboard, bricks, and tiles often dumped by rogue traders.
Garden Waste: Turf, branches, and old fencing.
Tyres & Appliances: Items often refused by the council, such as old fridges or car tyres (by prior agreement).
Site Assessment: We also assess unknown piles for safety before clearance.
1. Get a Quote: Give us a call, fill in our contact form, or WhatsApp a photo of the pile to 07802 860 731.
2. Clearance: Our uniformed team arrives in a tracked vehicle with shovels and brooms to clear the lot.
3. Sweep Up: We also sweep the area clean, removing loose debris and glass. Ensuring no further injuries can occur.
4. Disposal: Furthermore, you receive a Waste Transfer Note immediately, ensuring you are covered for Fly-tipping prevention and legal compliance.
We offer transparent pricing based on volume and weight. Therefore you only pay for the space you fill, unlike a skip where you pay for fresh air if the load is small.

Single Item: Prices start from £80+vat. Ideal for a standalone bulky item like a fridge or sofa dumped on your land.
Quarter Van Load: Roughly 2-3 cubic yards. Also equivalent to a dismantled shed or a small garden tidy up.
Half Van Load: Roughly 6 cubic yards. Comparable capacity to a standard builders’ skip (6-yarder). Furthermore, no permit fees, no skip sitting on the drive.
Full Van Load: 12-14 cubic yards. A large capacity equivalent to roughly 2 x standard 8-yard skips. So perfect for large scale fly-tipping recovery.
Get a Firm Price: Send a photo of your pile to 07802 860 731.
We cleared a large pile of renovation debris (plasterboard and broken tiles) from a back alley behind a row of terraced houses. We used a “Wait & Load” approach to therefore ensure we didn’t block the narrow access road for neighbours.
A homeowner discovered piles of branches and soil dumped on their semi-rural lane. We cleared the Inert Waste and also swept the road clean, ensuring safe access was restored immediately.
Cleared a mix of black bags and old furniture dumped near a garage. The restricted access also meant a skip wagon couldn’t get close, however our agile vans reversed right up to the pile for rapid removal.
We cover the entire Wigan borough and also surrounding districts, including:
Q: Do you take soil, rubble, and bricks? A: Yes. We frequently clear heavy Inert Waste like soil and rubble, which is commonly found in fly-tipped piles. We also charge by weight and volume, handling the heavy lifting that many other services refuse.
Q: Do you dismantle sheds or garden structures? A: Yes. If the fly-tipping involves a collapsed shed or you need a structure removed to prevent it from becoming a dumping ground, our team handles full dismantling and removal.
Q: Will you clean up the mess afterwards? A: Absolutely. We pride ourselves on our “We Sweep Up” promise. Whether it is a muddy lane or a dusty back alley, we leave the area broom-clean so you don’t have to deal with the aftermath.
Q: Do I need a skip permit for Wigan? A: Only if you use a skip. Wigan Council requires permits for skips placed on public highways, which can also be costly and slow to process. Our service is “Wait & Load,” meaning the vehicle is never parked permanently, so no permit is required.
Q: Can you collect from properties with difficult access in Wigan? A: Yes. We know the local logistics well, from the tight back to back terraces in Ince to the semi-rural lanes in Orrell. Our vans are more mobile than heavy skip lorries and can access areas that are otherwise difficult to reach.
