Rubbish removal, priced by volume

This is our Waste Removal service, part of Abacus. It's for rubbish that's already accessible: a pile in the garden, a cleared garage, leftover materials after a renovation. You only pay for the volume we take away — you're not paying for a full-day clearance team you don't need.

Clearing a whole house? That's our full house clearance service — we come inside and clear everything, priced per day. This page is for waste that's ready to load.

Our load prices

Prices are by volume, with loading time included. If a load turns out bigger than agreed, we tell you and adjust before we take it — never afterwards.

LoadUp toLoading timePrice
Minimum1 cubic yard / 100 kg5 min£70 +VAT
Small2 cubic yards / 200 kg10 min£120 +VAT
Mid4 cubic yards / 350 kg15 min£180 +VAT
Large7 cubic yards / 500 kg30 min£250 +VAT
XL10 cubic yards / 750 kg45 min£300 +VAT
XXL15 cubic yards / 1 ton60 min£400 +VAT

Extra labour over the included time is £15 +VAT per 10 minutes. Some items carry a set disposal charge (fridges, freezers, mattresses, POPs upholstery, plasterboard, paint, tyres, gas bottles, pianos) — we tell you these upfront. Full load of soil/concrete up to 14 cubic yards £175 +VAT.

Additional charges

Two things can add to the load price above, and we always tell you about them upfront — never as a surprise once the van has arrived. The first is extra time on site; the second is the cost of disposing of certain items legally and safely.

Extra time on site

Each load includes loading time — Minimum 5 minutes, Small 10, Mid 15, Large 30, XL 45 and XXL 60. Where a job needs longer than the time included, extra labour is charged at £15 +VAT per additional 10 minutes.

Special-item disposal

A handful of items carry a set charge because they have to be treated separately at a licensed facility — fridges need degassing, upholstered furniture is classed as POPs waste, plasterboard must be kept apart from general waste, and so on.

ItemCharge
Fridges & freezersbench £45 · tall £75 · American from £120
Mattresses£25 each
Paint£7.50 per tin
Fire extinguishers & gas bottlesfrom £30
Tyres£20 each
TVs & monitors£15 each
Pianosfrom £350
Upholstered ‘POPs’ furniture (sofas, armchairs)from £25
Plasterboard£75 half load · £150 full load

All charges are +VAT. If any of these apply to your job, mention them when you ask for a quote and we'll include them in the price from the start.

Why we don't advertise "from £35"

You'll see very low "from" prices around. £35 is usually the cost to take a single item — one chair, a couple of bags at the kerb — not to clear a real load. Our honest minimum is £70 +VAT for up to a cubic yard, with the price you're quoted being the price you pay. No drip-fed extras when the van arrives.

Whatever you need cleared

Householders

Moved house, cleared a loft, dismantled a shed, finished a renovation? We take away fridges, sofas, cookers, carpets, mattresses, old furniture and garden cuttings — and leave you a tidy space.

Companies

Old desks and office furniture in the way of a revamp? We can work after hours or at the weekend, when the building's empty, so your business keeps running.

Builders

Site rubbish slowing you down? We take bricks, wood, plasterboard, rubble, soil, timber and metal — and help your team load, so you can get on with the build.

Where we offer rubbish removal

Our volume-based rubbish service runs from our three bases — London, Birmingham and Newcastle — and the areas around them. Not sure if you're in range? Just ask when you call. (For a full house clearance, we travel UK-wide.)
