Questions and answers
Straight answers about prices, what we take, same-day collections and the paperwork.
Prices
How much does rubbish removal cost in Swansea?
With us, a single item is £45 and loads run from £65 for 6 to 8 bags up to £360 for a full 12-yard truckload. Sofas, mattresses and fridges carry a small extra charge. There’s no VAT to add, and loading, tip fees and a waste transfer note are included.
How do you work out the price?
By how much space your rubbish takes up in our 12 cubic yard tipper, not by the hour. Send photos and we’ll give you a fixed price for the lot. If there’s more on the day than the photos showed, we tell you the new price before we load anything, and you can say no.
Is VAT included?
There’s no VAT to add. The price we quote is the price you pay.
Is it cheaper than a skip?
Usually, for waste that’s already piled up. A 6-yard skip in Swansea costs around £265 to £295, plus a permit if it goes on the road, and you do the loading. Our half load of the same size is £210 with the loading done. A skip can work out better for a long renovation or lots of heavy rubble.
What if there’s more rubbish than I thought?
We price what’s actually there. If it’s more than the photos showed, we tell you the new price before we start. You can agree, or we can take only what the original price covers.
How do I pay?
By card or bank transfer once the job’s done. You get a receipt and a waste transfer note. Landlords and businesses can have an invoice.
Booking and collection
Do you do same-day rubbish removal?
When there’s space on the truck, yes. Message us before 11am and we’ll tell you straight away whether we can come today. If we can’t, we’ll give you the earliest slot we have rather than promise something we can’t keep.
Do I need to be in when you collect?
No, as long as we can get to the rubbish and you’ve agreed the price. Leave it somewhere we can reach, like a drive, front garden or unlocked garage, and we’ll send you photos once it’s gone.
Will you carry things down from upstairs or the loft?
Yes. Carrying from lofts, upstairs rooms, cellars and back gardens is included within reason. Just tell us where everything is so we can plan it.
Which areas do you cover?
All of Swansea, Mumbles and Gower, plus Neath, Port Talbot, Pontardawe and Llanelli: postcodes SA1 to SA8 and SA10 to SA16. Further out, ask and we’ll tell you before you book if there’s any extra charge.
What we take
What won’t you take?
Asbestos, paint and chemicals, gas bottles, fuel and oil, clinical waste and fireworks. Most other household, garden and building waste is fine, including sofas, mattresses, fridges and electricals.
Can you take sofas and armchairs?
Yes. Upholstered seating has to be kept separate and sent for incineration under Natural Resources Wales rules, because the foam can contain persistent chemicals. That’s why there’s a £20 charge per seat and why many skip firms won’t take them.
Do you clear fly-tipping?
On private land, yes: for landlords, businesses and landowners. Fly-tipping on roads, pavements and public land is the council’s job, so report it to Swansea Council.
Where it goes
Where does my rubbish go?
To a licensed commercial weighbridge, never a household recycling centre. We sort out wood, metal, cardboard and electricals so they can be recycled, and furniture that’s good enough to use again, we’ll try to get reused.
Got rubbish that needs to go?
Send a photo and your postcode. We’ll come back with a fixed price, usually the same working day.
