Boats, pianos, hot tubs, mystery sheds. If it's heavy and awkward, we've probably lifted one already — ask us.

Describe the job
/ why chums

A family-run waste carrier that actually shows up.

We're a family-run, Environment Agency-licensed waste carrier based in Kingston upon Thames. Unlike “man-and-van” ads that go dark on booking day, we own our own yard, own our own fleet, and hand you a waste-transfer note before we leave.

25+
YEARS

Trading continuously out of Kingston upon Thames since before most of our competitors were a Facebook page. We're not going anywhere.

“If you call the number at the top of this page, you get Marek or Dan. Not a call centre. Not a booking bot. Just whichever of us isn't on the van.”

— Marek, yard foreman

  • Licensed & insured

    Registered upper-tier waste carrier with the Environment Agency. £5m public liability insurance on every job, every time.

  • Same-day collection

    Book before noon, gone by evening. Two-hour arrival windows across London and Surrey — we text when we're fifteen out.

  • Transparent pricing

    Fixed quotes from a photo. No per-minute labour charges, no surprise congestion add-ons, no “while we're here” upsells.

  • 95% diverted from landfill

    Sorted at our licensed facility in south London. Paper, plastic, metal and glass given a second life wherever we can.

/ by the numbers

Recycling today for a cleaner tomorrow.

We weigh every load on the way into the yard and log what comes back out of it. These are last year's diversion rates for our four biggest service lines, straight off the Excel sheet — no greenwashing.

how it works

From photo to cleared, in under an hour.

No surveyors, no “someone will call”. Four steps, all of them run by people whose names you'll actually learn.

  1. step01admit one

    Your call

    Text us a photo, WhatsApp us the pile or just ring the number. We book you a two-hour window, often same-day.

  2. step02admit one

    Pickup

    The crew arrives on time, loads it out of the loft / garage / kitchen and leaves the space cleaner than we found it.

  3. step03admit one

    Reduce garbage

    Back at the yard we hand-sort paper, plastic, metal, glass and timber. What can be reused, gets reused.

  4. step04admit one

    Recycling process

    What’s left goes to our licensed partner facility to be processed into raw materials. You get the transfer note by email.

Reviews we didn't write ourselves.

Five-hundred-and-twelve jobs last year. A handful remembered to say thanks — we pinned their words to the yard wall.

    “Same-day, as promised”
    “Booked before breakfast, pile was gone by lunch. Fair price, proper invoice, and they swept up after. Unusual in this trade — worth every penny.”
