What the service covers

• bagging and carrying down rubble;
• loading into a truck or skip;

Depending on what you agree with the worker, the job can include supplying bags, bagging, handling, loading, transport and disposal at an authorised site.

Key points

Authorised disposal

Rubble must be taken to a designated site under local rules; fly-tipping is prohibited and harms the environment.

Sorting

If possible, separate inert rubble from wood, metal, plaster or hazardous waste (paints, chemicals), which follow other routes.

What affects the price

• volume of rubble;
• floor and access;
• carrying distance;
• means of transport;
• any disposal fees.

The rate is agreed with the worker based on these elements.

Frequently asked questions

Who supplies the bags?

That is to be agreed; say if you have already bagged it.

Can rubble be left on the pavement?

Only if local rules temporarily allow it; direct removal is safest.

Is hazardous waste accepted?

Generally not; it follows a specific route. Mention it.

What information should I give?

Approximate volume, type of waste, floor, access and desired date.
