Rubbish Removal

Big Man provides professional, fully compliant rubbish removal services for households, businesses, landlords, and contractors across the UK. Whether rubbish has accumulated over time or appeared suddenly after a move, renovation, or clear-out, our experienced teams remove it quickly, safely, and responsibly.

Rubbish removal is not just about taking waste away. It involves correct handling, lawful transport, and proper disposal under UK regulations. Our service manages the entire process so you avoid heavy lifting, repeated trips, and legal uncertainty. You get a clear space and complete peace of mind.

What Is Rubbish Removal?

Rubbish removal is the collection and lawful disposal of unwanted waste that cannot be handled through standard household bins or routine collections. This can include general rubbish, bulky items, mixed household waste, and materials generated during clear-outs or projects.

Unlike basic waste collection, rubbish removal includes labour, sorting, and transport to authorised facilities. Using a professional service ensures waste is processed responsibly and does not end up fly-tipped or mishandled.

How Our Rubbish Removal Service Works

1. Initial Assessment

We assess the volume and type of rubbish, along with access conditions. Photos can help us provide an accurate quote quickly.

2. Transparent Quotation

You receive a fixed, upfront quote before any work begins. There are no hidden charges.

3. Scheduled Collection

We arrange a time that suits you, including same-day or next-day options where available.

4. Full Removal

Our trained team handles all lifting, loading, and removal, clearing rubbish efficiently and safely.

5. Legal Disposal

Transparent Pricing With No Hidden Fees

Pricing for rubbish removal is based on:

• Types of materials involved
• Labour required
• Access and urgency

Our pricing is simple and transparent. You only pay for the rubbish removed and the work required — no surprise charges for lifting, loading, or compliance paperwork.

Why Choose Professional Rubbish Removal?

Safer Than DIY Disposal

Handling rubbish yourself can lead to injury, vehicle damage, or incorrect disposal. Our trained teams manage risks properly.

Faster Than Council Collections

Council services often have long wait times and strict limits. We remove rubbish in one coordinated visit.

More Practical Than Skip Hire

Skips require permits, space, and manual loading. We remove rubbish directly from inside the property without disruption.

Legal Compliance & Duty of Care

Big Man operates fully within UK waste legislation. We are a licensed and insured waste carrier, ensuring every rubbish removal is handled lawfully.

Our service guarantees:

• Compliant waste handling and transport
• Proper disposal at authorised facilities
• Waste Transfer Notes where required
• Protection from fly-tipping liability

Recycling-First Rubbish Removal

Rubbish removal does not mean landfill-first. We prioritise recycling and recovery wherever possible.

Materials such as cardboard, metals, wood, electrical items, plastics, and green waste are separated and processed through approved recycling facilities, significantly reducing landfill use.

Experience, Training & Professional Standards

With years of experience across domestic and commercial rubbish removal, Big Man delivers dependable service backed by trained teams and clear procedures. All staff are trained in safe manual handling, waste classification, and legal compliance.

Our professional standards ensure every job is completed efficiently, responsibly, and with respect for your property.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does rubbish removal cost?

Costs depend on the volume and type of rubbish, access conditions, and labour required. We provide fixed, upfront pricing with no hidden fees, allowing you to budget accurately and avoid unexpected charges.

Do you offer same-day rubbish removal?

Yes, same-day or next-day rubbish removal is often available, subject to availability. This is ideal for urgent situations, last-minute moves, or unexpected waste build-up.

Is rubbish removal legally compliant?

Absolutely. We are a licensed waste carrier and operate fully within UK waste regulations. All rubbish is taken to authorised facilities, with documentation provided to meet Duty of Care requirements.

What happens to rubbish after collection?

Rubbish is sorted at licensed facilities. Recyclable materials are recovered wherever possible, and only non-recoverable waste is sent to landfill.

How does rubbish removal differ from council waste services?

Council services are limited by volume, item type, and timing. Our service is flexible, on-demand, and removes all suitable rubbish in one visit.

Is rubbish removal better than hiring a skip?

For most situations, yes. Skip hire requires permits, space, and manual loading. We remove rubbish directly from inside the property and manage compliance end to end.
