Rubbish Removal In Stoke

Stoke on Trent as a city generates a large amount of annual waste, both in the residential and commercial sectors. In one year recently there was a total of 111,060 tonnes of waste collected with 99,990 of that being from households according to Wikiwaste.

The city council has put a strong emphasis on increasing the recycling rate, which currently sits around the 33.7% figure, but this still needs to improve against the whole country’s average in 2022 of 43.4%.

In the city though, fly tipping is still a significant issue and on the rise, according to the “Illegal Dumping In Our Towns” or aptly (IDIOT) campaign in June 2023 over a 16 month period there was a report 7,661 incidents of fly tipping, a 84% rise against the previous period.

But we have the solution, with WRG’s affordable and professional rubbish clearance and removal service covering the whole “ST” postcode area, you have no excuse to fly tip, we’ll take care of everything for you & we’re up to the challenge – no matter how big or small!

What won’t we clear?

We’ve provided you with a pretty comprehensive view of our common clearance items, but what won’t we clear from your home? We won’t deal with anything hazardous including the likes of anything medical or chemical, we do offer asbestos removal, but it falls under a different service and team with different pricing.

Currently we unfortunately don’t handle hazardous waste due to the required special handling and licences required for disposal.

Stoke Rubbish Clearance & Waste Removal Costs

Without knowing the exact detail of the waste removal job then it’s very hard to provide a price or even estimate.

Keeping that in mind, we can provide you with rough prices for some basic and common jobs. There are two primary factors that affect how much the service costs:

Volume of Waste

The amount of waste determines the amount of workers required and hours of labour, having a big impact on cost.

Type of Waste

Straight forward household waste that you can put in a black bin is cheaper than larger items or appliances.

Although we usually quote by volume, our typical labour cost per hour in Stoke-on-Trent for waste removal is £40, relatively low compared to other locations. There are factors that will change this though, and the quote can vary even if it only takes a few hours, just due to the amount of staff we have to attend to or the type of waste we have to dispose of.

We can give you a better idea, by providing our typical cost examples for a few different size jobs:

Small Load

£40
Single Item - A small amount of waste with no large appliance.

Medium Load

£140
Approx 4 cubic yards - Around 30 refuse sacks or a couple of medium sized appliances

Large Load

£310
16 cubic yards - Approximately a full van load worth of waste is around this price

Read our “How Much Does Rubbish Clearance Cost?” post to get a more comprehensive view of costs.

Please keep in mind that these prices are approximate and can vary considerably based on a variety of factors, especially the ones we previously mentioned. Please get in touch with us and we will provide you with a more accurate quote.

Our Clearance & Removal Process

Looking to book our Stoke on Trent waste removal service? Then the next question you might have is about how it works, and what the process is – not to worry, we’ve boiled it down to just a few steps for you!

1. Quote & Book

When you have filled out our contact form, we will be in touch with you to find out more about the exact details of your clearance, as well as your address and the time and date you require.

When we’ve had this conversation we will be able to provide you with a quote for the service, it’s important at this point that you provide us with accurate details on the amount and type of waste so your quote is accurate when we get there.

2. On The Day Preparation

Subject to the type of waste you have, when we may have a few questions about the accessibility and we may ask you to sort the waste into sections before they start the removal and disposal process – this will help us with the recycling and environmental aspect.

3. Clearance & Disposal Day

On the day the team will conduct a small pre-assessment of the work when they get to your address just to ensure the quotation is still accurate and the information provided matches the waste as agreed. Once they are happy with that, they will get on with removing and loading the vehicle, leaving you with a waste free, clean and tidy home when the job is complete.

4. The Disposal

Finally – more so one for us, when we bid you farewell we will be heading to the nearest appropriately licenced waste centre to dispose of your rubbish in as environmentally friendly a way as possible.

On The Clearance & Removal Day

You might have a few more questions around what actually happens on the day, and feel free, when you enquire to us, to ask anything that you can’t find an answer for here, and we will be happy to help – but here are just a few of the main questions we often get asked:

Do I need to be home?

If you don’t plan to be home, or you’re struggling to find a date and time when you will be for the collection – we understand and can often cater for this. It’s something we will need to discuss in detail before the day to ensure the team can gain access to the waste.

How long will the removal take?

This is a hard question to answer without knowing the details of the waste, but it’s something we will clarify with you on the initial call and before the booking to provide accurate time frames.

However, to give you an idea, a small clearance may take as little as an hour, with medium clearances taking 2-4 hours and larger clearances can range from a day to several.

Does the waste need to be outside?

Not necessarily, it just needs to be safely accessible for our team, again we will discuss this in detail beforehand, but the majority of the time you won’t have to move any of the waste – after all, that’s what we’re for!
