Builder and trade waste

Tell us the likely waste types, quantities, locations and collection frequency. Repeat work needs an agreed scope and review when the load changes. A first collection does not automatically reserve ongoing capacity or establish a fixed price for every later visit.

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.

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.

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.

For non-hazardous business waste transferred off premises, a waste transfer note or equivalent document containing the required information is needed. Confirm the paperwork arrangements before collection. Keep the record with your job and invoice details; a receipt without the necessary information is not automatically sufficient.
