2. Windsor, Maidenhead & Surrey council bulky item collection service

All councils offer householders (not businesses) a bulky or special item waste collection service alongside the scheduled domestic refuse collection.  The service does take longer and is less flexible (typical wait time is at least a week and often several weeks) in comparison with private waste removal companies and is limited to non-DIY waste. So if time is of the essence or your junk includes lots of messy rubbish from your garden or home improvement, then you’ll need to consider other options. 

Below are the prices councils in Windsor, Maidenhead and Surrey areas for collection of a single bulky item (eg. sofa, mattress or fridge) or a combination of all three.

3. Use a private licensed man & van waste collector

If you cannot donate your item and don’t wish to or cannot use the council bulky collection service, then you will probably need a licensed man & van rubbish collector.  

Like the council service, a man and van waste contractor visits the property, loads up the junk, and takes it away for disposal. The main differences to the council’s service are speed (private collectors can respond much faster), labour (they will collect from anywhere inside or outside the home), and type of waste (they can take all types including things like rubble and garden waste).  

The cost of a private man and van collection depends on the type and amount of waste and when you need it removed. For lots of examples of man & van rubbish collections with prices, see the LoveJunk Rubbish Removal Price Gallery.

5. Skip hire in Windsor, Maidenhead & Surrey region

If you’ve got a large amount of rubbish, particularly if it contains a significant proportion of heavy, messy material like soil, bricks, rubble, sand, carpet tiles, or ceramic tiles – then you could hire a skip. 

• Pros – good to contain very messy DIY/trade waste, jobs where you’re generating waste as you go, no real weight restrictions (whereas man & van normally limited to 1 tonne be load)
• Cons – expensive, other people chuck their rubbish in it when you’re not watching! waiting times for delivery/organising permits, prohibited items

If you have smaller amounts of very heavy waste, an alternative is a hippo bag collection, particularly if you don’t think you have enough waste to fill a skip. Hippo bags come in three sizes (1 yard, 1.5 yards and 4.5 yards). For more info read our Hippo Bag & Alternative Guide.

Skip hire prices 

According to our research, the average cost of hiring 6-yard builders skip located off-road (ie. on your driveway) in the Surrey and Windsor areas is around £250 -£290 including VAT. 

Skip permits and Bay suspensions 

Additional charges apply if the skip is located on the road. You will need a skip permit – which costs £85 (for the first week, and £23 for every week after) from the council and if it’s a Controlled Parking Zone, possibly also parking suspension fees.  Note normally the skip operator organises these extra and adds it to your bill.
