Is rubbish removal cheaper than skip hire in Plymouth? In most cases our rubbish removal service is similar in cost to skip hire — and far more convenient. With a skip you need to load it yourself, often need a council road permit (£25+), and the skip sits on your drive for days. With Two Man Removals we arrive, load everything, and the waste is gone in hours. No permit, no effort, no waiting.
Are you a licensed waste carrier? Yes. Two Man Removals is a licensed waste carrier registered with the Environment Agency. We provide waste transfer notes on request and dispose of all waste through licensed facilities. Using a licensed carrier protects you legally under duty of care regulations.
Can you do same-day or next-day rubbish collections in Plymouth? Yes — we often have same-week and next-day availability midweek for Plymouth postcodes. Check our live diary in the booking tool above or call 01752 936 046 for urgent collections.
Do you recycle the waste you collect? Yes. We sort all collected waste at licensed facilities. Recyclable materials including metals, wood, textiles, and electronics are separated and sent to appropriate recycling streams. Items in reusable condition are donated to local charities wherever possible.
What happens to my duty of care if I use an unlicensed operator? If an unlicensed carrier illegally dumps your waste, you as the householder can be held legally responsible and fined up to £5,000 under duty of care regulations. Always use a licensed waste carrier like Two Man Removals who can provide a waste transfer note as proof of legal disposal.
Can you collect from upstairs rooms? Yes. Our two-man team handles all the heavy lifting, including carrying items down from upstairs bedrooms, lofts, and basements. There is no extra charge for upstairs collections in most cases.
Can you remove garden waste in Plymouth? Yes. We collect garden waste including branches, soil, turf, fencing, decking, and general green waste. Garden waste can be heavy, so call us for a quote on large volumes.
What items can you NOT take? We cannot take hazardous materials including asbestos, paint, chemicals, gas cylinders, or clinical waste. For these items, Plymouth City Council can advise on specialist disposal options.
Do I need to be home for the waste collection? Ideally yes, so our team can confirm the items and access. If the items are accessible (for example, in a front garden or garage), we may be able to arrange collection without you being home by prior agreement.
