Clear pricing, great value

We run larger vehicles than most of our local competitors, so we can carry more rubbish in fewer trips. That means a lower price per tonne and a smaller carbon footprint. It's a win-win.

  • Prices do not include VAT.

  • We only charge you for the rubbish we take away, so you never overpay. If the volume is between price points, we charge accordingly.

  • Our price includes loading by a two-man team for up to one hour. If you need more manpower, or more time, we can provide it.

Extras

Not all rubbish is equal. Some items incur an extra charge owing to the additional processing required to recycle them.

Social value

At What a Load of Rubbish, we're committed to creating a positive social impact. We partner with charities like Key4Life and No Going Back, along with HM Prisons & Probation Service, to offer employment opportunities to ex-offenders.
