Disposal FAQs

What are the charges?

In the vast majority of cases it is £36 for the first item, and £8 for every item thereafter, but there are some items that may cost more, such as pianos, range cookers or large American style fridge/freezers. It can also vary dependent on where you live, as our disposal costs are different based on your postcode. There are also some items charged at a lower rate.

Please contact us to discuss what you need and how we can help.
