Waste clearance and accepted materials

Send details of your household, garden, office or building-related non-hazardous waste. Acceptance depends on the material, quantity and available disposal route. We assess the actual load rather than promise to take every item described as general rubbish.

No. LoadBadger’s standard clearance service excludes hazardous waste. Tell us if you suspect asbestos, chemicals, fuels, sharps or other dangerous material is present. Keep it separate and seek an appropriate specialist rather than putting it into ordinary clearance bags.

Explain where it is and how the team would reach it. Include stairs, lifts, narrow passages and the distance to the vehicle. We will check the required labour and access before quoting; an indoor collection should not be assumed from a kerbside description.

Not necessarily: furniture and other bulky items may be assessed individually. Describe loose material and ask how it should be contained. Use sound containers for suitable small items, avoid overfilling them and never conceal sharp or potentially hazardous contents in an unlabelled bag.

Send photographs and quantities for assessment. Upholstered seating may need a separate handling and treatment route, which can affect acceptance and cost. Do not break it apart or mix loose foam with other waste while waiting for collection advice.

Include the number, approximate sizes and condition of mattresses or rolls of carpet. Mention dampness, contamination or difficult access before a price is agreed. These items need assessment rather than being added automatically to a general bagged-waste quotation.

List them separately and ask for acceptance before booking. Fridges, batteries, screens and other electrical items may require different arrangements, and some may fall outside our service. Do not hide them inside a mixed load or assume they follow the same route as ordinary furniture.

Describe the contents first. A bulky-clearance enquiry is not an automatic booking for food waste, leaking bags or routine bin collections. We need to check suitability and any hygiene concerns before confirming whether the request can be accommodated.

Tell us which items you hope to reuse or donate before they are classified for clearance. Acceptance by a charity or another recipient must be arranged and confirmed. We cannot promise donation, resale value or a free collection simply because an item remains usable.

The operator needs to reassess the actual material and quantity. Contact LoadBadger to agree any revised scope and price before extra work proceeds. Accurate pictures, measurements and disclosure of hidden heavy material help avoid changes when the vehicle arrives.
