About Big Man
Who We Are and Why We Exist
Big Man is a locally rooted waste collection and area rubbish removal service built on reliability, responsibility, and respect for the communities we serve. From day one, our focus has been simple: provide dependable waste removal while doing the job properly, legally, and with care for the environment. We are not a faceless operator or a call-centre brand. We are a hands-on team working daily on local streets, estates, and commercial sites.
Our work covers domestic and commercial waste collection across the area, supporting households, landlords, builders, and businesses who need rubbish removed quickly and responsibly. Whether it is a single-item collection or a full clearance, our approach remains consistent: show up on time, work safely, and dispose of waste the right way.
Our Story and Years in Operation
Big Man was established to fill a clear gap in the local waste market. Too many people were dealing with missed collections, fly-tipping risks, or unreliable operators. Over the years, we have grown steadily through word of mouth and repeat custom, becoming a trusted name for waste collection in the area.
Our team has spent years working across familiar locations such as residential streets near local high roads, busy estates, and mixed-use developments. We regularly operate around well-known parks, neighbourhood shopping parades, and industrial estates, gaining a deep understanding of access challenges, parking restrictions, and local waste requirements. That local knowledge allows us to work efficiently without disrupting residents, businesses, or public spaces.
Licensed, Trained, and Accountable
Big Man is fully registered with the Environment Agency as a licensed waste carrier. This licensing is not a formality; it is central to how we operate. Every collection is handled under the Duty of Care requirements set out in UK waste law, ensuring waste is transported and disposed of correctly.
Our staff are trained in safe manual handling, waste classification, and on-site professionalism. From navigating narrow stairwells in older housing blocks to working around vehicles on busy roads, our team understands how to remove waste safely and efficiently. We are also fully insured, giving customers peace of mind that their property and premises are protected throughout the process.
Our Mission and Values
Our mission is to deliver straightforward, compliant waste collection while raising standards in an industry that is often misunderstood. We believe rubbish removal should be simple for the customer and responsible behind the scenes.
We operate with honesty, transparency, and accountability. That means clear pricing, no shortcuts, and no questionable disposal practices. Every load we remove is tracked to authorised facilities, protecting both our customers and the local environment.
Eco-Responsibility and Recycling Focus
Environmental responsibility is not an add-on at Big Man; it is part of our daily operations. We take a recycling-first approach wherever possible, separating materials and directing them to appropriate recycling streams before landfill is considered.
We work with established recycling partners and authorised waste facilities across the borough and surrounding areas. Materials such as wood, metal, cardboard, electrical items, and green waste are diverted from landfill whenever possible. This reduces environmental impact and supports local recycling targets.
By using recognised borough recycling centres and licensed waste facilities, we ensure waste is processed correctly and transparently. This approach also helps prevent fly-tipping, which can blight parks, alleyways, and estates if waste is mishandled.
Deep Roots in the Local Community
Big Man is part of the community we serve. Our team works daily in familiar locations, from residential estates to commercial units near local landmarks. We clear waste from streets that residents walk every day, operate near parks used by families and dog walkers, and support local businesses that rely on clean, accessible premises.
We understand the character of the area, from quieter residential roads to high-footfall zones near transport hubs and shopping areas. That understanding allows us to plan collections efficiently and respectfully, avoiding unnecessary disruption and keeping shared spaces clean.
We also support local contractors, landlords, and property managers who maintain housing stock and commercial spaces. By working closely with people who live and work here, we help keep neighbourhoods safe, tidy, and compliant.
