Getting Started

How do I book a collection?

Easy peasy. Book online, ring us, or chat WasteBot. We'll have you sorted in minutes.

What areas do you cover?

All 32 boroughs. Zone 1 to Zone 6. If it's London, we're there.

How quickly can you collect?

Most areas get next-day service. Central London? We can often do same-day. We're speedy like that.

Collections

Do I need to be home?

Nah. Just leave the bins out and we'll do the rest. Easy.

What happens if you miss a collection?

We don't. But if something goes wrong (traffic, alien invasion), we'll be back within 24 hours. Free.

Do you work weekends?

Saturdays? Course. Sundays? We need a lie-in too, mate.

Recycling

What can I recycle?

Paper, cardboard, glass, plastics, metals, textiles — the usual suspects. We'll give you a full list when you sign up.

What happens to what you collect?

It goes to a permitted facility. We do not sort or process anything ourselves — whatever happens to the material happens there, under their permit. You get a digital Waste Transfer Note when the collection is completed, showing where it went.

Pricing

How much does waste collection cost in London?

Waste collection in London costs from £96 for a mini load (roughly one washing machine's worth) up to £420+ for a full van. A typical mixed load is around £174. The price covers labour, loading and licensed disposal, with a digital Waste Transfer Note issued when the job is done — and every charge we can add is published before you book.

How much does a house clearance cost?

A house clearance in London typically costs between £222 and £540, depending on how much there is — a single room sits nearer £174. The price covers all carrying, loading and licensed disposal. Send a photo for a price band, and a staff member confirms every price before you pay anything.

Are there hidden fees?

Absolutely not. The price is the price. No dodgy extras, no surprise invoices. We're transparent like a clean window.

Can I change my plan?

Course you can. Upgrade, downgrade, cancel — 30 days notice, no drama, no hard feelings.

About Us

Are you licensed?

Registered waste carrier CBDU276268, plus Environment Agency waste exemptions for storage. Both numbers are on our credentials page with links to the public registers, so you can check them yourself in about ten seconds.

What if I have hazardous waste?

Hazardous waste is not collected on a normal load. We can refer you to a permitted specialist who is registered to carry it — they quote it and they collect it, not us — so tell us on the phone rather than leaving it in the pile. Asbestos, chemicals, and the mystery liquid in your shed all count.
