Rubbish gone, without the trips to the tip
Got a pile of bags by the back door, a loft full of clutter or a garden you can’t use for rubbish? The Clearance Team removes it from homes and businesses in Weston-super-Mare, North Somerset and Somerset.
We do the carrying and the loading. If it’s bagged, we load it as it is. If it’s loose, we bag it up for you. We then sort it so as much as possible is reused or recycled.
We’re a small local team, registered with the Environment Agency as a waste carrier and fully insured. Locally, same-day or next-day collection is often possible.
What we take
- Black bags and general household rubbish
- Clutter from lofts, spare rooms, cupboards and under the stairs
- Boxes, packaging and cardboard after a move or a delivery
- Broken furniture, mattresses, toys and old bikes
- Small electricals and larger appliances
- Garden waste: branches, hedge cuttings, grass and bagged leaves
- Old fence panels, pots and garden furniture
- Timber offcuts and small amounts of DIY waste
- Rubbish left behind by tenants or a previous owner
- Business waste from shops, offices and workshops
What we need to know beforehand: asbestos, gas bottles, fuel, chemicals and solvents (including most paint tins), and clinical waste. They need special handling and disposal, so tell us when you ask for a quote and we’ll plan for them.
The council tip or us: which makes sense?
If you’ve got a car, a bit of time and a manageable load, the council recycling centre is often the cheapest option, and we’d tell you so. North Somerset and Somerset both run recycling centres for household waste. But a few rules catch people out, so it’s worth checking your council’s website before you load up:
- Vans and trailers often need a permit or booking, and may be limited to a few visits a year
- DIY and building waste such as rubble, plasterboard and bathroom suites may be limited or charged for
- Business waste generally isn’t accepted at household recycling centres, even in small amounts
- Opening hours and booking systems can change, especially at busy times of year
A collection from us makes more sense when the load is bigger than a couple of car trips, when it’s heavy or awkward, when it’s in a loft or up two flights of stairs, when you haven’t got a vehicle, or when it’s business waste and you need a waste transfer note. We take most non-hazardous rubbish in one visit and you don’t lift a thing.
How it works
- Photos and a quick description. Send them by email or text, or call 07786 235785. Tell us where the rubbish is and how easy it is to get to.
- A clear price. Based on volume, access and what’s in it. No hidden extras for the work we agree.
- We load it. Bagging what’s loose, separating timber, metal, cardboard and green waste as we go.
- Swept and done. We sweep up where the rubbish was. If you weren’t there, we send photos so you can see it’s gone.
What happens to your rubbish
A load of “rubbish” usually isn’t all rubbish. Furniture and household items in good condition go to local charities and reuse projects. Metals, cardboard, wood and green waste are separated for recycling, and electricals go to licensed WEEE facilities. What can’t be reused or recycled goes to licensed facilities.
The paperwork matters. If you hand rubbish to someone who isn’t licensed and it ends up dumped in a lane, it can be traced back to you. Always ask for a waste transfer note, and see our guide on how to check a waste carrier.
Bigger jobs have their own pages: garden waste clearance, garage clearance, builders waste removal and bulk waste collection.
We cover Weston-super-Mare, Worle, Uphill, Kewstoke and the villages around, plus the rest of North Somerset and Somerset, including Worle and Winscombe and Banwell.
Rubbish removal questions
Do I have to bag everything first?
No. Loose rubbish is fine: we’ll bag it on site. If you’d like to bag some beforehand it can make the job quicker.
Is there a minimum amount?
No. We’ll take a few bags or a full van. Small loads may be more economical through the council, and we’ll be honest if that’s the case.
Can you take paint?
Not on a standard visit, as liquid paint and solvents need a specialist route. Some council recycling centres accept household paint, so check with them. Empty, dry tins can usually go.
How quickly can you come?
Locally, same-day or next-day is often possible. Weekends and evenings can be arranged.
Do you take garden waste?
Yes: cuttings, branches, grass, leaves and old fencing. Large amounts of soil or rubble are priced separately by weight.
