Frequently Asked Questions

If you are looking for clear answers about rubbish removal, house clearance, recycling, same-day collections, and what to expect from the service, this page is a great place to start. At Rubbish Clearance Service, we know that customers often want quick, straightforward information before booking, especially when they need a fast, reliable solution. Whether you are clearing a single item, arranging a full property clearance, or comparing your options, our FAQs are here to help.

We have created this section to answer the most common questions we receive from customers across London and Surrey. These pages are designed to make things simple, so you can quickly find the information you need about pricing, preparation, what we can collect, and how the clearance process works from start to finish.

One of the first things many people ask is what can actually be taken away, and whether there are any items that cannot be removed. For that, you can visit our guide on If you are unsure about specific items before booking, our guide to what we take and what we cannot take is the best place to check first. This covers the typical household, garden, office, and builders’ waste we remove, along with important information about restricted items.

If timing is the main concern, our guide to same day rubbish removal London and Surrey explains what can realistically be arranged at short notice. This is especially useful if you need urgent clearance after a move, renovation, tenancy end, or unexpected build-up of waste.

Many customers also compare our service with skip hire before deciding what is best. If you are weighing up collection methods as well as cost, our comparison of rubbish removal versus skip hire is worth reading. including convenience, labour, permits, loading responsibilities, and overall suitability depending on the job.

For a broader overview, you can also browse our main For a broader overview in one place, you can also browse our main rubbish clearance FAQs page. which cover general service questions and give a helpful starting point for first-time customers.
Sustainability is another major priority for many people, and rightly so.

We aim to reduce landfill wherever possible by sorting items carefully and prioritising reuse, recycling, and donation. For a closer look at reuse, donation and responsible disposal, see how we recycle and donate items. and our page on If responsible disposal matters to you, our guide to eco-friendly rubbish removal and house clearance explains the greener side of the service. 

These explain how we approach responsible waste disposal and why professional clearance can be a more environmentally aware option.

If you want a step by step explanation of the booking, loading and disposal process, start with how our rubbish clearance service works.

If you are planning a larger property job, our guide to preparing for a house clearance will help you get ready.

For bulky items and mixed loads, our guide to council collection versus private rubbish clearance helps explain the practical differences.

We hope these FAQs give you the answers you need. If you still have a question, or would like advice on the best clearance option for your situation, please get in touch and our team will be happy to help.

We used this company on recommendation of another trade that we trust, so I was confident they would do a good job. Rob responded to my message, visited to give a quote and was able to remove our waste on the same day. We agreed payment by bank transfer. We had a large job of old flooring, fencing and general household waste. Rob did the work quickly and efficiently and left our front garden looking the best it has done in weeks. Overall, he did a great job for us and also really appreciated how friendly and professional they were too. Would happily recommend and If we need a pickup in the future he would be the first person we would call.

We used Rob to dissemble, and remove our garden shed, as well as a few other garden items. He was professional, diligent, earnest and really lovely to work with. Reasonably priced too! He worked incredibly hard to sort out quite a complicated setup, and was very transparent - explaining everything to us as he was going along. Couldn’t recommend him enough and will deffo be using him again in the future. Thanks Rob!

I never met Rob in person but that did not take away from the quality of the service provided. I contacted Rob to ask if he could remove a green house from a property we had just purchased (but were not yet living in). He asked for a day or two to check his schedule and confirm his availability. Rob then got back to me the next day and said he could be there the following morning. I was not able to meet him but I said he could let himself into the back yard. He contacted me the next day from the property, provided me with a quote (which I thought was very reasonable), then started with the work immediately. He then contacted me a few hours later, sent me some before and after photos, and that was that. Fast, efficient, well priced, professional, and excellent communication. I am sure I will be using his services going forward and highly recommend these as well. Thank you Rob.

Rob was very helpful and professional -- arrived promptly, the same day that I called, and took care of all the leftover rubbish from a house move. Would happily call again for his services!
