Garden, DIY and construction waste

You can enquire about garden waste collection by sending photographs and an approximate quantity. Keep garden material separate from furniture, rubble and household rubbish where practical. Mention very long branches, wet bags and the distance from the garden to the loading point.

List soil, stones, bricks and concrete separately. A small-looking pile can be much heavier than bags of leaves, so it changes the vehicle and load assessment. Do not assume a volume-based estimate for light green waste also covers dense material.

Waste collection and gardening work are different tasks. Our enquiry should describe material that needs taking away; do not assume cutting, felling, stump removal or landscaping is included. If preparation is needed, explain it before requesting the collection date.

Send photographs showing the condition, size and whether the structure is dismantled. Tell us about exposed fixings or unusual coatings. Dismantling and material acceptance need separate assessment; the collection quote should not be taken as permission to disturb a potentially unsafe structure.

Send a list of cabinets, sanitaryware, tiles, timber and other materials, with photographs of the entire load. State whether anything remains connected or fixed in place. A waste collection does not automatically include plumbing, electrical work or demolition.

Give the number of bags, their approximate dimensions and the material inside. Tell us whether they are partly filled or mixed. A photograph of closed bags alone may not show the load accurately, and bags should remain safe to handle without splitting.

Identify plasterboard separately and ask for collection instructions. Keep it apart from the rest of the load pending confirmation of acceptance. The operator needs to check a suitable destination and pricing; it should not be hidden among general rubble or bagged mixed waste.

Send the site contact, access rules, working hours and loading arrangements with the waste details. We need to establish whether the operator can safely attend and meet the site’s requirements. Do not book a standard household visit without explaining that it is an active site.

No cleaning service is included unless specifically quoted. Removing agreed waste does not mean washing floors, removing dust from surfaces or preparing a property for occupation. If you need cleaning as well, request it separately and agree the sequence of visits.

Explain whether waste is ready now or will accumulate over several days, and whether it is mainly bulky or dense. We can assess the collection enquiry against partner capacity. Skip hire is not a confirmed LoadBadger offering in this pack; request availability before relying on it.
