Bulky Waste Removal
Big Man provides professional, fully compliant bulky waste removal services for homes, businesses, and building sites across the UK. If you need to dispose of large, heavy, or awkward items that cannot be handled by standard waste collections, our experienced team offers a safe, efficient, and responsible solution.
From old furniture and white goods to renovation debris and clearance waste, we manage the entire process — lifting, loading, transport, and lawful disposal. Every job is carried out by trained staff using authorised vehicles, ensuring peace of mind and full compliance with UK waste regulations.
What Is Bulky Waste Removal?
Bulky waste removal is the collection and proper disposal of large items that are difficult to move or unsuitable for household bins. These items often require specialist handling due to their size, weight, or material type.
Rather than waiting weeks for limited council collections or attempting unsafe DIY disposal, our service provides a fast, reliable alternative. We collect directly from your property, remove items safely, and ensure they are processed through licensed waste facilities.

Clear, Honest Pricing
The cost of bulky waste removal depends on:

Why Choose Professional Bulky Waste Removal?

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does bulky waste removal cost?
Costs vary depending on the size, quantity, and type of items, as well as access to the collection point. Our pricing is transparent and agreed upfront, with no hidden charges for lifting or disposal. This often works out more cost-effective than multiple council bookings or hiring a skip you may not fully use.
Do you offer same-day bulky waste removal?
Yes, same-day or next-day collections are often available, subject to availability and location. This is ideal for urgent clearances such as property handovers, broken appliances, or unexpected waste build-up. Contacting us early improves the chance of securing a rapid slot.
Is bulky waste removal legally compliant?
Yes. We are a licensed waste carrier and operate fully within UK waste regulations. All waste is taken to authorised facilities, and Waste Transfer Notes are provided where required. This protects you from legal risk associated with improper disposal.
What happens to my bulky waste after collection?
Items are assessed and sorted at licensed facilities. Reusable items may be diverted for reuse, while recyclable materials such as metal, wood, and electrical components are processed accordingly. Only non-recoverable waste is sent to landfill, minimising environmental impact.
How is this different from council bulky waste collection?
Council services often have long waiting times, strict item limits, and collection rules. Our service is flexible, faster, and tailored to your needs. We also handle all lifting and loading, which council services usually do not.
Is bulky waste removal better than skip hire?
For large items, bulky waste removal is often more practical. There is no need for permits, skip placement, or manual loading. We collect items directly from inside or outside your property, saving time, effort, and disruption.
