We make it simple.

If you're thinking of  Garden Clearance Caermead you are probably considering a skip as an option, we can save you time effort and money. Most people have no idea what skip size they need and when they hear the prices just go for the cheapest one and regret it later. Ever noticed a skip by the side of the road with doors jammed down the sides so the hirer can fit more in? Like the skip hire firm is not going to notice and refuse to take the skip until some is removed?

Chances are that person will have to foot the bill for a second skip, and when you are talking about hundreds of pounds each, it's a costly mistake to make.

If a skip is to be placed on the road, council owned lane, pavement or verge then you are going to need a permit. This is an extra cost you have to bare on top of the price of your skip (Cardiff is £67.00 2015/16), this can take time to obtain and cause delays, as you have to wait for one to be granted (or rejected).

How we're different.

We can visit your property and offer you a free, no obligation, firm quote before work starts, so there's no guessing. If you need an idea before we visit just give us a call (or email us) to describe what you have and we'll provide an estimate over the phone. We can visit at a time suitable for you, we can often attend evenings & weekends and even view the waste if your not present if it's accessible without access. We can then call you back with a quote. There is no permit needed for our service, so no extra charges or delays.

We save you money.

If you would have needed a permit we've already saved you £30-£67 before we even start. On top of that we look come within the price a skip would have cost you for the quantity of waste you have (even though we'll be doing the work too!), we'll take a look at what you need to get rid of and equate it to how big of a skip you would have needed should you have hired one. We then price accordingly, our vans typically hold the equivalent of 2 large builders skips so you'll have something to gauge this with at the end. But we offer an honest and fair appraisal before work starts, one that you can reject or accept.

Another way we can save you money is by fair judgement. If you fill a skip it doesn't matter what you fill it with, it's full and you pay. We can make allowances for things like cardboard or scrap metal etc. They don't cost us anything to get rid of so we can offer a reduction in price if they form a large portion of what you are throwing out.  

We try to be as fair and measured as we can be. We cannot tip at council yards as a commercial waste carrier we have to pay to dispose of the waste. Different types of waste go at different rates. For example General mixed waste goes at £156 per tonne where as cardboard can be tipped for free. 

So we recycle as much as possible to avoid paying the hefty top tipping rate..... We take the wood to the wood recyclers..... The cardboard to the cardboard recyclers...... etc. This helps us to be kinder to the environment and keep our prices low.

We save you time.

You get two guys to do the loading included in the price!! We can usually arrange a time to visit that suits you, we understand that you're busy and try to be as accommodating and flexible as possible.

What can and can't be taken.

Typically this service is designed to cater for light mixed household, general wastes, furniture, bric-a-brac or light construction (examples below). We can take paint, tyres and most electrical goods. Plasterboard must be kept separate, it's banned from landfill and can no longer be taken as rubble, but we can take it if it's not mixed with anything else. 

If you have heavy waste such as tiles, stone, brick or soil we can take a reasonable amount, but it must be bagged and kept separate from other wastes. It's cheap to get rid of at around £12 per tonne, but if it's mixed with other things it has to go at £156 per tonne and it's far too heavy for that. We can carry around 1.5t at a time, this service is only designed for small amounts of heavy wastes. For example a kitchen rip out with 20 bags of clean tile and the rest being wood (and a small amount of junk) is just fine, a small breeze block/brick wall that could fit in a mini skip is fine. If you have large amounts of heavy waste a skip is going to be cheaper for you. We can do multiple trips but then our usual quoting model is adapted due to extra labour & fuel.

We cannot take fridge/freezers, old style TVs or hazardous/special wastes. We quite literally have nowhere to dispose of them.  The limitations in this last paragraph but including plasterboard & paint usually apply to skips also.

Please bare in mind that when we quote we can not always see everything that is contained in a pile or assess every corner or individual item. It is possible for us to miss the presence of any of things above, including heavy waste. If this happens it's our policy to offer to leave the items rather than alter the price quoted. We will not re-quote unless asked. While most customers understand the reasons behind a renegotiation on finding a specified item others get quite upset, so we find it easier to offer for the items to remain. 

Areas Covered (Garden Clearance Caermead)

 

Step 1: Give us a call so that we can converse about your garden clearance service. Step 2: Tell us what type of rubbish you want collected and describe how much junk there is, as well as you can estimate the quantity. We can then attempt to enable you to get a pretty decent idea of the volume of waste you've got and then give you an estimate (General - mixed waste) for your garden clearance service on the phone. When we arrive if the picture as close to what was described and assuming that there aren’t any underlying surprises, that will be the cost that you will hand over. Volume is one of those things that is complex to judge therefore we can provide the full spectrum of prices. E.G., If you have 2 cubic yards (The equivalent of a mini skip) then you pay X price, If you have 4 cubic yards (A midi skips worth) you will pay just a little more, the wagons capacity is a lot more than that (if needed). You’ll only be charged for the amount of rubbish you throw on the lorry on the day, and it’s up to you just how much you decide to put on the truck on the day. Some of the junk you may have may be considered “special” waste that cannot be included in the mixed waste price. Please inform us about anything you may consider or suspect may not be included but we can discuss this when you ring. Please also tell us about any items you feel may have value, but consider we do not pay a retail price. If we make an offer to buy (as part payment) we don’t want to buy the item to keep it, we are only able to pay a wholesale price. If you need to achieve the top price, you'll have to spend the time trying to sell by yourself. We are not able to take low value items as part payment, things of this type will be given to a social enterprise or recycled. Step 3: We will give you a date and time window for us to attend and clear your trash away. Appraising volume is hard, if you are new to it. The simplest method of visualising the volume of rubbish that is on site, is as follows: We employ the skip hire industries way of measuring volume which is done in yards (cubed). A cubic yard is 3ft x 3ft x3ft so build a mental image of a 3 feet high box equal on all sides. That is one cubic yard. A big box that comes up to the waist on an averaged sized man. How many of those large cubes can you fill? That’s how many cubic yards you have. What we do with your waste once we've cleared it? Our objective is to reuse what we can and items of satisfactory quality may be sold or provided to local social enterprises. The truth is that a fraction of what we collect can be sold on for anything more than a insignificant amount of cash and it's not economically viable to keep these items. So they are offered to local charities. If rejected by the social enterprises they are taken to a dump point where they are reprocessed. Modern Waste tips take mixed waste streams and then sort recyclable materials before sending the separate piles to be recycled.
