As the global climate crisis becomes more urgent, it's essential that we all do our part in...
At Rubbish Clearance Highbury we keep rubbish removal prices simple, transparent and competitive. Whether you are clearing a Highbury terraced house, a flat near Highbury Fields, or a small business on a busy main road, you will always know what your waste collection cost will be before we start any job.
We operate a clear, upfront pricing structure based on the volume and type of waste we remove. There are no hidden call-out charges and no surprise costs added at the end. Once we have assessed your waste, we provide a firm quote and stick to it.
Our quotes are based on:
1. Volume of waste in cubic yards or load size on our truck
2. Type of materials to be removed (general household, bulky items, garden waste, or heavier builder’s waste)
3. Ease of access and loading time (for example, basement flats, top-floor walk-ups or tight mews houses may take longer to load)
Every quote includes labour, transport, and disposal or recycling fees, so you can see exactly what your rubbish removal prices cover from the start.
To keep costs easy to understand we price our rubbish clearance in Highbury by load size or by cubic yard. You only pay for the space your rubbish actually takes up on our truck, which often works out cheaper than hiring a skip and paying a flat fee.
Our typical volume-based pricing is structured along these lines:
• Small load: Ideal for a few bulky items such as a sofa, armchair and several bags of general household rubbish from a one-bedroom flat.
• Quarter load: Works well for clearing one average room, a small home office, or a light clear-out following redecoration in a Highbury Victorian terrace.
• Half load: Suits a more substantial flat clearance, a kitchen or bathroom rip-out, or garden waste from a medium-sized back garden.
• Three-quarter load: Common for moving out of a larger flat or maisonette with accumulated furniture, appliances and mixed waste.
• Full load: Best for extensive house clearances, heavy refurbishment waste, or multiple bulky items from a large family home.
We calculate each job in cubic yards and convert that to a clear load-based price so you can easily compare value against skip hire or alternative services.
Different types of waste involve different handling and disposal methods, which is reflected in the waste collection cost. During your free quote we will break down how the rubbish removal prices are affected by the material involved.
Common categories include:
• General household waste: Old clothes, toys, boxes, small electricals, and bric-a-brac from flats and houses across Highbury streets. This is usually the lowest-cost category per cubic yard.
• Bulky furniture: Sofas, wardrobes, beds, mattresses and cabinets from period properties or modern apartments. Prices depend on volume and the number of large items.
• Appliances and white goods: Fridges, freezers, washing machines, dishwashers and cookers. Some items have specific disposal rules that slightly adjust the cost.
• Garden waste: Branches, soil, hedge cuttings and lawn clippings from front gardens, shared courtyards and rear patios. Light green waste is usually cost-effective to remove by volume.
• Builder’s and DIY waste: Rubble, tiles, bathroom suites, worktops and plasterboard from renovation projects. These are heavier materials and are priced to reflect higher disposal costs.
Where possible, we recycle or re-use items to keep environmental impact and disposal fees down, which helps control overall rubbish removal prices for our Highbury customers.
The following examples show how waste collection cost can vary depending on property style, location and type of waste. These are illustrations, not fixed prices, but they give a realistic idea of how we structure quotes.
Example 1: Small flat near Highbury Fields
A one-bedroom flat with easy lift access needs removal of a two-seater sofa, a coffee table, a TV unit, and six bags of general rubbish. The total volume is around a small load. The waste collection cost is kept low because access is simple and the items are light to medium in weight.
Example 2: Victorian terrace house clear-out
A family in a traditional Highbury terrace is decluttering their loft and spare room. We collect several boxes of mixed household waste, a double mattress, a chest of drawers, and two wardrobes. This works out as roughly a half load on our truck. The price is based on cubic yards of mixed bulky items and includes our team carrying everything down from the upper floors.
Example 3: Busy high street shop refresh
A small business on a busy local parade is updating its interior and needs to remove display units, shelving, packaging waste and some old office furniture. The volume is around a three-quarter load. Access is straightforward from the rear, and we time the collection to avoid peak trading hours. The overall waste collection cost reflects a high volume of mixed commercial waste but efficient loading conditions.
Example 4: Garden waste from a back garden
A ground-floor garden flat has completed pruning and light landscaping, leaving bags of leaves, branches and a small amount of soil. The volume fits into a quarter load. Because the waste is mostly light green materials and access is direct through a side passage, the rubbish removal prices are very competitive.
Example 5: Post-renovation flat near main transport routes
A recently refurbished flat close to transport links has rubble bags, old tiles, broken cabinets and offcuts of wood. The material is heavy and fills around a half load. The price is calculated on the heavier builder’s waste category, which has slightly higher disposal costs than general rubbish, but is still excellent value compared with skip hire outside the property.
We believe that every customer should know their rubbish removal prices with complete confidence before booking. That is why we offer a free, no-obligation quote for all jobs in the Highbury area.
You can request a quote by describing the waste you have, sending images if helpful, or arranging a quick visit for larger or more complex clearances. Our team will then provide a clear written estimate, outlining exactly what is included and how the waste collection cost has been calculated.
If you are happy with the quote, we can often complete the collection on the same day or at a time that suits your schedule. If you decide not to proceed, there is no charge for the quotation.
There are a few simple ways to help keep your rubbish removal prices as low as possible:
• Group items together so we can quickly see the total volume.
