Waste Disposal & Specialty Removal
General rubbish removal clears bagged and loose household or garden waste, single bulky items or a full van load, and sorts it for recycling and responsible disposal. It is the quick option when you just need waste gone, properly.
Who it is for: Householders, landlords, tenants and small businesses needing general waste removed.
What it covers: Bagged waste, loose junk, single items or a mixed load, collected and sorted for recycling and disposal.
When a survey is needed: No survey needed. A photo of the items and where they are is usually enough for a price.
This is the general-purpose option: whatever has built up, iTrade collects it, loads it and takes it away, then sorts it rather than sending a mixed load straight to disposal.
It works as a one-off, and it is a lawful alternative to a skip, because a registered carrier takes on the duty of care for the waste.

Your quote
| Factor | What it means for your quote |
|---|---|
| Volume | How much there is, in van loads. |
| Weight and material | Heavy materials such as soil and rubble are priced by weight. |
| Access and carry | How far items must be carried to the van. |
| Separate streams | Appliances and upholstered seating are handled under their own rules. |
Responsible handling
| Stage | What happens |
|---|---|
| Reuse and donate | Suitable items are kept separate for reuse when an appropriate receiving route is available. Acceptance depends on condition, safety and the receiving organisation’s current criteria. |
| Recycle | Recyclable materials are separated at permitted facilities. |
| Recover | Materials that cannot be recycled may be sent for energy recovery where suitable. |
| Responsible disposal | Only the remainder goes for controlled disposal under duty-of-care rules. |
Before you enquire
The more of this you can share, the faster iTrade can give a realistic figure:
Reassurance and compliance
When you pay someone to remove household waste, you have a household duty of care under section 34(2A) of the Environmental Protection Act 1990. Check that whoever takes the waste is a registered waste carrier, because dumped waste traced back to you can leave you liable.
iTrade Recycling Ltd is registered with the Environment Agency as an Upper Tier carrier, broker and dealer under CBDU521652. The public record was checked on 10 August 2026 and expires on 9 February 2027; customers should follow the official register link and check it again before hiring.
