Prices
Straight prices, honest estimates
Flat rates by the van load or by the bag. Labour, loading, disposal and clearing up are all in — and there is nothing extra for sofas, mattresses or awkward items. No call-out fee for standard collections (a missed-access charge may apply if we can't get in on the agreed day without being told).
How much does rubbish removal cost in Cardiff?
Rubbish removal is priced flat, by the van load: a quarter load is £160, a half load £290, and a full 16 cubic yard van £450 — no hourly rates, no weight surcharges, no call-out fee. Garden waste is cheaper again at £80, £140 and £250, and black bin bags are £3 each (£2.50 at 40+). Your photo quote is an estimate; the final price is confirmed once we give you the price on-site.
Work out your price
Pick how you'd like to measure it. Then send it over on WhatsApp and we'll confirm from a photo.
Half van load
£290
A rough estimate, not a fixed quote. We work the van load out from your photo, so it can move a little either way once we see it on-site — we won't charge more if you go slightly over, only if there's a big difference.

How we estimate
Send a photo through WhatsApp, email or text, or show us in person. We work the van load out from that. These are rough estimates based on the photo you send, so the final price could be lower or higher once we see the load. The final price is confirmed once we give you the price on-site, before we start. We would only revise the price if what is actually there is massively different to what we were shown.
We price it fairly
Go a bit over the estimate and we won't charge you more for it. We'd only revise the price if what's there is massively different to what we were shown.
Paying
Payment is made once the van is loaded — no exceptions. Card or cash. We're not VAT registered, so there is no VAT to add on top.
Why a full van goes further with us
16 cubic yards, not 10
We use large high-roof vans measuring 16 cubic yards — about 1.5× the size of the tipper vans most rubbish companies use.
You're paying for space, so the bigger the van, the further your money goes. A clearance that would be a full tipper plus half of another is one load for us, at one price.
- 16 cubic yard load space
- Long wheelbase, high roof
- Up to 1.1 tonnes per load
- One trip instead of two or three
- One price instead of a second call-out
- No skip, no permit, no waiting
Trade & business
Need us regularly?
If you're a business or a tradesperson who needs waste shifting on a regular basis, get in touch and we'll work something out that suits you. Builders, letting agents, shops, landlords and site managers all use us on repeat — see our commercial waste clearance service for regular collections and clear-outs.
- Agreed rates for regular collections
- Waste transfer notes as standard
- Evening collections by arrangement
- Invoicing rather than payment on the day

Whether it's a question about the areas we cover or whether we'll take something, just ask. Phone, WhatsApp, email, or the green WhatsApp button — in the corner on a computer, along the bottom on your phone — all of them reach us directly, and we answer quickly.
