Choosing private rubbish removal companies means you will be charged on the amount of waste, the type of waste and the weight of the waste (the amount of space it takes up in the van). Prices start from £39 and go up to £400, depending on the company you choose and the type of clearance service you need.
When using the local council for waste disposal, you have to choose certain days and there’s a base payment then an additional payment for each item. On top of that, there’s lots of rules you have to follow. This kind of service used to be more affordable a couple of years ago, but can be quite pricey if you have a lot of bins or items to remove, so you might be surprised to find out a rubbish removal company is cheaper.
Depending on your local council, the prices can vary. Here’s the prices for Guildford, Surrey:
- one item – £49
- two to four items – £84
- five to ten items – £130
Larger items like American style fridge freezers count as two items.
