Priced by volume · single items to full loads
Sometimes a skip is the wrong tool. If you have not got the space, the permit or the inclination to load it yourself, our clearance team turns up, does the lifting, sweeps up after itself and takes everything away in one visit. You pay for the volume we actually take, not for a skip sat empty on your drive.
Everything comes out of the house, garage, loft or garden by us. Stairs, awkward corners and heavy items are our problem, not yours.
Priced by the volume actually loaded — a quarter load, a half load, a full wagon. We quote before we start and the price does not move afterwards.
Nothing sits on your street. We arrive, clear, and leave the same day.
Fully licensed waste carriers with a waste transfer note for every job. If someone fly-tips your rubbish, it is your name on the paperwork — so use someone who does it properly.
It depends entirely on who is doing the lifting. A skip is usually the cheaper option per cubic yard, but only if you are happy to load it yourself over a few days. A clearance costs more per yard and buys you the labour — the whole thing gone in one afternoon, with nobody carrying a wardrobe down a staircase but us.
The other thing that tips it is access. If you live on a terraced street with no driveway, a skip means a council permit, lights, markings and a fortnight of your neighbours parking round it. A clearance means a van on the road for an hour. For a lot of our customers in Widnes, St Helens and south Liverpool that alone makes the decision.
Household furniture, white goods, mattresses, carpets, garden waste, shed and garage contents, loft clearances, office furniture, IT equipment, building rubble and post-renovation mess, general bagged rubbish, and the sort of accumulated odds and ends that do not fit any category but definitely need to go. If you are unsure whether we will take something, send a photo — it is quicker than describing it.
Landlords, letting agents and property managers ring us regularly about waste dumped on their land. We clear it fast, photograph it for your records, and give you the transfer note you will need if the council asks questions. Under the duty of care rules the landowner can end up liable for waste dumped on their property, so getting it moved by a licensed carrier quickly matters.
We price by how much of the wagon your waste fills. A single item, a quarter load, a half load, a full load — you get a fixed figure before we lift anything, and it does not change unless you decide to add more to the pile. There is no charge for stairs, no charge for a long carry, and no charge for the sweep-up at the end.
Heavy materials are the one exception. Soil, rubble and hardcore are priced by weight rather than volume, because a wagon full of rubble is at its legal weight limit long before it is full. If your clearance is mostly heavy material, we will usually suggest a 6 yard skip instead and tell you why.
We hold capacity back each day for short-notice work. Ring before mid-morning and there is a good chance we can get to you the same day across Runcorn, Widnes, Frodsham, Helsby and Warrington. Further out, next day is realistic almost every time.
Straight to a licensed transfer station, where it is tipped and sorted. Timber, metals, cardboard, plastics, green waste and inert materials are separated for recycling; only what genuinely cannot be recovered goes any further. We can supply the transfer note for any job, and for trade customers we keep the records so you have them when you need them.
Several of these we will still take away — just as a separate collection, because they have to go to a different licensed facility. Ring and ask.
A couple of pictures on WhatsApp is usually enough for an accurate price. No need for a site visit on most jobs.
Based on volume and access. That is the figure you pay unless you add to the pile.
Two-man team, protective sheeting on floors where needed, and a brush round when we are done.
Back at the transfer station everything is separated. Metals, wood, cardboard and green waste all go to be recycled.

I would highly recommend Smiths Waste Removals & Skip Hire, placed the enquiry on their site and someone was talking to me with in minutes. They went above and beyond by asking for photos on what i needed the skip for so they could advise on what size I needed, very friendly and helpful through out the whole experience, reasonably priced aswell, i wouldn't use anyone else now.
