Rubbish Clearance
Big Man provides professional, fully compliant rubbish clearance services for homes, businesses, and property professionals across the UK. Whether rubbish has built up gradually or appeared suddenly after a project, move, or tenancy change, our experienced teams remove it quickly, safely, and responsibly.
Rubbish clearance is about more than simply taking waste away. It involves correct handling, lawful transport, and proper disposal under UK regulations. We manage the entire process so you do not have to worry about lifting, logistics, or legal responsibility. The result is a clear space and complete peace of mind.
What Is Rubbish Clearance?
Rubbish clearance is the removal and lawful disposal of unwanted waste that cannot be handled through normal household bins or routine collections. This can include general household rubbish, bulky items, mixed waste, and materials generated by clear-outs, renovations, or commercial activity.
Unlike basic waste collection, rubbish clearance includes labour, sorting, and transport to authorised facilities. Using a professional service ensures waste is dealt with responsibly and does not end up fly-tipped or mishandled.

Transparent Pricing With No Hidden Fees
Pricing for rubbish clearance is based on:

Why Choose Professional Rubbish Clearance?
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 clear 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 clearance 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 Clearance
Rubbish clearance 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 clearance, 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 clearance is completed efficiently, responsibly, and with respect for your property.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does rubbish clearance 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 clearance?
Yes, same-day or next-day rubbish clearance is often available, subject to availability. This is ideal for urgent situations, last-minute moves, or unexpected waste build-up.
Is rubbish clearance 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 clearance 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 clearance 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.
