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.
ChristineReliable Trade Waste Collection in Wigan is essential for local businesses that need to maintain compliance without the hassle of managing skips or council permits. At The Rubbish Removers Ltd, we provide a streamlined, fully licensed service designed to keep your premises clear and your operations running smoothly. Also as a Which? Trusted Trader and a Trading Standards “Buy With Confidence” member, we act as a professional extension of your team, therefore ensuring all waste is handled legally under our Environment Agency license (CBDU409710).

We also understand the unique logistical challenges across the borough, from the tight “back-to-back” terraced streets of Ince and Leigh to the sprawling semi rural routes around Standish. However, unlike standard council collections that can be slow to reach outlying areas, our uniformed teams offer a rapid response, often providing same day collection. So whether you are managing a shop refit in the town centre or clearing construction debris from a site in Orrell, you can reach our Head Office on 0161 339 7938 or WhatsApp photos for a quick quote to 07802 860 731.
Compliance First: We take your Duty of Care seriously. Therefore, every collection comes with an instant digital Waste Transfer Note (WTN) and a VAT invoice for your audit trail. We also provide secure WEEE Recycling.
Dedicated Account Manager: For recurring trade waste needs, we also provide a single point of contact to manage your schedule, making us a seamless partner for your logistics.
Minimal Disruption: We also know that business never stops. So our teams can arrange out of hours collections to ensure we clear your waste without interrupting your trading day or blocking customer access.
Relocation & Refurbishment Ready: If you are upgrading premises or moving office, we clear old shop fittings, partition walls, and alsopackaging rapidly, allowing your contractors to start work immediately.

Office Clearance: Desks, ergonomic chairs, filing cabinets, and also secure disposal of IT equipment (monitors, printers, hard drives).
Trade & Construction: Builders’ waste, plasterboard, shop fitting debris, packaging, and pallets from renovations.
Landlord & Retail: End of lease clearances, fly-tipping removal from private land, and also excess stock disposal.
1. Audit: Give us a call on 0161 339 7938, fill in our contact form, or WhatsApp a photo of the waste to 07802 860 731 for a quick estimate.
2. Schedule: We book a collection slot that suits your opening hours, therefore, ensuring we work around your peak times.
3. Clearance: Our professional, uniformed staff arrive and clear the site efficiently, also sweeping up the area once the waste is loaded.
4. Paperwork: You receive an instant digital Waste Transfer Note and VAT Invoice via email, therefore, completing your legal paper trail.
Single Item: Prices start from £80+vat. So ideal for removing a single large appliance, a copier, or a small pile of packaging.
Quarter Van Load: Roughly 2-3 cubic yards. Perfect for clearing out a store cupboard or removing a small office desk and chair set.
Half Van Load: Roughly 6 cubic yards. Comparable to a standard builders’ skip (6-yarder). Therefore, great for a partial office clear out or medium renovation debris.
Full Van Load: 12-14 cubic yards. Equivalent to roughly 2 x standard 8-yard skips. Also suitable for full shop strip outs or large commercial clearances.
Pricing is based on volume and weight, therefore you only pay for the space you fill, unlike a skip where you pay for fresh air. Get a firm price by sending a photo of your pile to 07802 860 731.
We performed a “Wait & Load” clearance for a retail unit near the Grand Arcade. By also using our vans, we avoided the need for a skip permit on the busy main road and cleared all packaging and old shelving within two hours.
A landlord required the removal of bathroom rip out waste from a property in a tight “back-to-back” terraced street. However, a skip would have blocked the road, so our team manually loaded the rubble and timber immediately, keeping the lane open for neighbours.
We cleared twenty desks and associated WEEE waste from a business park unit. The client also needed the job done on a Saturday to avoid disrupting staff; we completed the clearance and provided full documentation the same day.
We also provide licensed trade waste collection across the entire Wigan borough and immediate surrounding districts, including:
Q: Do you provide VAT invoices and Waste Transfer Notes? Yes. As an Upper Tier Waste Carrier, we provide these documents instantly via email upon completion of the job. This therefore ensures you have a full audit trail proving your waste was disposed of legally and ethically.
Q: Can you take confidential waste or old computers? Yes. We offer secure WEEE disposal for IT equipment, therefore ensuring hazardous components are treated correctly. Also for general office paper and archives, we ensure they are taken to licensed transfer stations for recycling.
Q: Do you offer credit accounts for regular trade? Yes. For businesses with recurring waste needs, such as kitchen fitters or property managers, we offer account terms and a dedicated account manager to streamline your bookings and invoicing.
Q: Can I take trade waste to the Kirkless or Slag Lane tips? No. The Household Waste Recycling Centres (HWRC) at Kirkless (Ince) and Slag Lane (Leigh) are strictly for residential waste. They also use ANPR cameras and permit schemes to identify and ban commercial vehicles. Attempting to use these sites for trade waste is illegal. We therefore offer the compliant, legal alternative.
Q: We are based in Wigan Town Centre, how do you handle parking? We utilise a “Wait & Load” service. Because we do not leave a container on the ground, we can legally stop in loading bays or briefly on single yellow lines (where permitted) while we load. This solves the access issues common around the town centre where skips are prohibited or require expensive bay suspensions.
Q: Do you cover industrial estates in Wigan? Yes. We cover all major business hubs, including South Lancs Industrial Estate and Wheatlea Industrial Estate. Our vans are tracked and can easily navigate to any commercial site across the borough.
