House Clearance

Several factors affect the price of house clearances these include

  • Size of property- larger properties result in more furnishings which in turn lead to a increased price
  • Weight - The more waste you have, the more you pay for your rubbish removal. This is because larger loads take longer to load (and therefore incur more labour cost) and cost more to dispose of. Note that unlike householders, waste collection businesses must pay to dispose of the waste - so more waste means higher disposal cost.
  • Fridge or Mattress - Fridges and mattresses cost more to dispose of than other waste. This is because they have to be recycled in a certain way. So, there is a premium to collect them to cover the extra cost of disposal. As a rough guide, you should expect £20 - £40 to be added to your rubbish removal if it contains a fridge or mattress.

  • Sofas and other soft furnishings like  upholstered chairs or cushions cost more to dispose of than other waste. These items contain POPs (persistent organic pollutants) and there are rules that have to be followed when recycling which costs waste collectors more. As a result, waste collectors require more money to collect them. therefore a job which contains a sofa compared to one that doesn't, can cost £40-£70 more.
  • Easy access and location normally mean lower prices because the job takes less time to load. Difficult locations and access mean more time spent on site which increases price.
