Standard loads
Household rubbish, furniture, mattresses, whitegoods, e-waste, timber, green waste, cardboard, renovation debris and general mixed rubbish are all normal collections.
Case by case
Concrete, bricks, soil and tiles are fine in limited quantities but priced by weight. Tyres, paint and car parts depend on volume and the disposal facility.
Needs licensed handling
Asbestos, chemicals, liquid waste, gas bottles, medical waste and anything classified as prescribed industrial waste can't go in a standard load. Disclose it before quoting so it's handled legally and safely.
