Quick answer
How much does rubbish removal cost in London?
It depends on how much there is, how easy it is to reach and what it is. We price every clear-out from photos, so you see the figure before you book.
More about this service
Most jobs are priced from our hourly van-and-crew rates. A Small Transit with a 2-person crew is £75 an hour, 2-hour minimum. Anything specific to the load, such as disposal, is confirmed in writing before you book.
We take packing waste after a move, unwanted sofas and beds, and end-of-tenancy junk. We don't take hazardous waste.
Giga Removals moves homes and businesses across the UK from a London base, and clears rubbish as part of the same service.
