What a rubbish clearance service does
Rubbish and house clearance services remove household waste, furniture, garden waste, builders' rubble and whole house contents, and they are quicker and often cheaper than a skip when the waste needs carrying. Anyone taking your waste away must hold a waste carrier licence, so in Edinburgh ask for the licence number, because if your waste is fly-tipped you can be fined.

Frequently asked questions
How do I know my rubbish will be disposed of properly?
Ask for the waste carrier licence number and check it on the Environment Agency register, and ask for a waste transfer note. A business that recycles and can tell you where the waste goes is the one to use.
Skip or clearance service?
A skip suits a project that produces waste over days or weeks. A clearance service suits a one-off pile, a house clearance or anything you cannot carry yourself. A skip on the road also needs a permit.
What will they not take?
Asbestos, some chemicals, gas bottles and certain electrical items need specialist disposal. Tell the business what you have and they will say what they can take and what needs a different route.
How do I get a quote from rubbish clearance services in Edinburgh?
Pick a listing on this page and send a quote request saying what needs doing and when suits you. The business comes back to you with a price and a time. It is free to ask, and no payment is taken online.
Are the rubbish clearance services on this page vetted?
Not yet. Listings marked Claimed have been claimed by the business and are kept up to date by them; the rest come from public records such as Companies House and Google and are marked as not yet claimed. Every listing shows its real Google rating and review count where one exists. We do not check registers or insurance yet, so ask for a Gas Safe or NICEIC/NAPIT number and check it yourself.
What should I check before I hire a rubbish clearance service?
Ask for a written quote and what it includes, who will do the work, whether they are insured, and any registration the trade needs, such as Gas Safe for gas work or a Part P scheme for electrics. Never pay the full amount up front.
Prices and availability are confirmed by each business. No payment is taken online, you pay the tradesperson directly.
