Rubbish Removal in Plymouth — Household Junk, Garden Waste & General Rubbish Cleared Fast Rubbish removal in Plymouth starts from £30 for a single item — a mattress, an old appliance, a piece of furniture. Partial van loads typically cost £80–£150 and a full van load runs £150–£250, all-inclusive of our two-man team, loading, transport and licensed disposal. Two Man Removals is a licensed waste carrier registered with the Environment Agency, covering every postcode in Plymouth. Old furniture, garden waste, appliances, builders' debris, bags of general junk — we arrive, load everything, and take it away responsibly. Same-day and next-day slots available midweek.
What Rubbish Do We Remove? We remove virtually everything that's legal to take. Household junk — old furniture, broken appliances, clothing, toys, general clutter. Garden waste — hedge trimmings, grass cuttings, branches, soil, old decking, fencing, sheds. Bulky items — mattresses, sofas, beds, carpets, white goods.
We also handle builders' waste and DIY debris — plasterboard, rubble, timber, old bathroom and kitchen fittings. And general commercial waste from offices, shops and other businesses in Plymouth.
The only things we can't take are hazardous materials — asbestos, chemicals, paint, clinical waste and certain electrical items. We'll advise you if anything on your list falls outside what we can handle legally.
How Rubbish Removal Works You tell us roughly what needs clearing — a list, some photos or a description. We give you a quote based on the volume and type of waste. If you're happy, we book a slot and our two-man team arrives with the van.
We do all the lifting and loading. You point at what goes, we carry it out and load it into the van. You don't need to bag anything up, carry anything outside, or sort it in advance — although if things are already bagged or sorted, it speeds things up.
Everything we take is disposed of through licensed waste facilities. We recycle and donate where possible, and the rest goes to authorised disposal sites. We carry waste carrier licences and can provide duty of care documentation if needed.
Garden Waste & Green Clearance Plymouth gardens build up waste fast, especially after a big trim, a landscaping project, or a winter clear-out. Hedge cuttings, tree branches, old turf, soil, broken patio slabs, rotting sheds and fencing — it all adds up and it's too much for the green bin.
We clear garden waste of all sizes. A single van load of hedge trimmings, a full garden clearance with sheds and fencing, or anything in between. We load everything and take it for green waste recycling.
If the access to your garden is restricted — narrow side gate, no rear access, items at the back of a long garden — we'll work with whatever the layout allows. We carry waste through properties and along paths when needed.
Why Not Just Use the Tip? Plymouth's Chelson Meadow recycling centre is useful but has limitations. You need to book a slot, it's not open every day, you can only visit a limited number of times per year, the queues can be long, and you need a vehicle to transport everything there yourself.
For large volumes, heavy items, or things that don't fit in a car, using our service is far easier. We arrive at your door, load everything, and take it away. One visit, no queuing, no loading your car multiple times, no strapping a mattress to the roof rack.
We also offer same-day and next-day clearances, which is useful when you're on a deadline — end of tenancy, house sale, property clearance, or just need the space cleared urgently.
End-of-Tenancy Rubbish Removal Plymouth End-of-tenancy rubbish removal is one of the most time-sensitive jobs we do. You need the property cleared to a certain standard by a specific date — and failing that risks losing your deposit. We work to landlord and letting agent inspection schedules and can often turn rubbish removal around within 24–48 hours of enquiry for Plymouth properties.
A typical end-of-tenancy clearance includes left-behind furniture (beds, sofas, wardrobes, white goods), bagged rubbish that didn't make it to the bin, garden waste if the garden wasn't maintained, and general clutter left by the outgoing tenant. We carry it all, load it into the van, and it's gone. If you need a deep clean alongside the clearance, we can recommend Plymouth-based cleaning companies we work with regularly.
For landlords and letting agents managing multiple properties in Plymouth — Mutley, Greenbank, Stoke, Devonport, North Hill — we offer regular contract rubbish removal at preferential rates. Call us to discuss a rolling arrangement.
Loft, Garage and Shed Clearances in Plymouth Loft clearances and garage clearances are some of the most satisfying rubbish removals we do — years of accumulated stuff, gone in a morning. The difference between a loft clearance and a skip is that we carry everything down for you. No ladder trips, no balancing act on the top step, no carrying heavy boxes across a loft board at awkward angles. Our two-man team handles the access and the removal entirely.
Garage clearances in Plymouth often involve a mix of old tools, broken bikes, defunct appliances, garden equipment, boxes of unknown contents, and the occasional mystery item from three owners ago. We clear the whole lot. If anything is in good condition — old power tools, decent furniture, usable items — we separate them for donation or recycling rather than landfill.
Shed clearances are quick and easy for our team. Even if the shed itself needs to go — rotting timber, old metal — we can remove and dispose of the structure alongside the contents. Ask us when you enquire and we'll include it in your quote.

Frequently Asked Questions How much does rubbish removal cost in Plymouth? Rubbish removal in Plymouth costs from £30 for a single item such as a mattress or old appliance. Partial van loads typically cost £80–£150, and a full van load of household junk, furniture or garden waste costs £150–£250. All prices include our two-man team, loading, transport and licensed disposal — no hidden charges. Send us photos or a description for an accurate quote.
Can you clear a whole house? Yes. Full house clearances are one of our most popular services — for end-of-tenancy, probate, or downsizing. We clear every room, the garage, the garden, the loft and the shed if needed.
Do you recycle? Yes. We sort waste at licensed facilities. Wood, metal, textiles, green waste and recyclable materials are separated. Items in good condition are donated to charity where possible. Our aim is to send as little to landfill as possible.
Can you do same-day rubbish removal? Often, yes — especially midweek. Call or message us in the morning and there's a good chance we can come the same day. Next-day clearances are almost always possible.
What can't you take? We can't remove asbestos, chemicals, clinical waste, paint, oil, or certain hazardous items. Everything else — household, garden, commercial, builders' waste — we can handle.
Do you need access to the property? We need access to wherever the rubbish is. If it's inside the house, we'll carry it out. If it's in the garden, we'll access it via the side gate or through the house. Just let us know about any access restrictions.
Are you a licensed waste carrier? Yes. We hold the appropriate waste carrier licences and can provide duty of care documentation. All waste is disposed of through authorised facilities.
Can you clear garden waste? Yes. Hedge trimmings, branches, turf, soil, old sheds, fencing, decking — all cleared and taken for green waste recycling. We handle gardens of all sizes.
How long does rubbish removal take? A single item removal takes 30–60 minutes. A partial van load typically takes 1–2 hours. A full house clearance or large garden clearance can take 3–6 hours depending on volume and access. We give you a realistic time estimate when we quote.
Can you clear a loft or attic in Plymouth? Yes. Loft clearances are a popular service — we carry everything down for you, no ladder work required on your part. We sort recyclable items, donate anything in good condition, and responsibly dispose of the rest.
Can you clear a garage or outbuilding? Yes. Garage and shed clearances are common — tools, broken bikes, defunct appliances, general clutter. We take the lot, including the shed structure itself if it needs removing.
Do you provide waste transfer notes? Yes. We can provide duty of care waste transfer notes on request. This documents that your waste was collected by a licensed carrier and disposed of legally — important for businesses and landlords.
What's the difference between rubbish removal and house clearance? Rubbish removal typically refers to clearing specific items or a portion of a property's contents — bags of junk, old furniture, garden waste. House clearance is a complete clear-out of an entire property, usually for end-of-tenancy, probate or downsizing. We offer both, quoted individually based on the scope of the job.
