Rubbish Removal in Cardiff — FAQ
Do rubbish removal drivers need a licence?
Yes — by law, anyone who carries waste as part of a commercial operation must hold an Upper Tier Waste Carrier Licence issued by the Environment Agency (or Natural Resources Wales/SEPA in Scotland). Always ask to see a valid waste carrier licence before accepting a bid. Unlicensed waste carriers risk a £300 fixed penalty or unlimited fine, and as the person who commissioned the clearance, you could also be liable.
How much does rubbish removal cost?
A small load (half a van) typically starts from £80–£150. A full van load might be £150–£300. Full house clearances can be £300–£800+ depending on volume. Drivers compete for your job on We Got The Move which keeps prices down.
What types of rubbish can be removed?
Most general household waste, furniture, appliances, garden waste, and builder's rubble can be cleared. Hazardous waste (asbestos, chemicals, tyres, batteries) requires specialist licences — mention any potentially hazardous items when posting so only appropriately licensed drivers respond.
What is a Waste Transfer Note?
A Waste Transfer Note (WTN) is a legal document that must be completed every time waste changes hands. A licensed waste carrier should provide you with a signed copy. Keep it for at least 2 years. If a driver can't provide a WTN, they shouldn't be handling your waste.
Can rubbish removal drivers take white goods and appliances?
Yes — fridges, washing machines, dishwashers, and other white goods can be collected and taken to a registered waste electrical equipment (WEEE) recycling point. Mention your specific appliances when posting.
Is it free to post a rubbish removal job?
Yes — completely free to post. Describe your waste type, approximate volume, and location. Licensed waste carriers in your area will bid with their best price. You only pay £9.99 when you accept a bid.
