3. Licensed man & van waste collectors

Instead of council removals, there is the option to hire a licensed man & van rubbish collector. If the council can’t collect the items you have, then man & van collectors are able to clear any and all types of rubbish. Private collectors also clear junk from both in and outside the home, whereas councils aren’t allowed inside properties. This can be a problem if you can’t lift or move the items outside by yourself. 

Man & van rubbish removal collection prices vary and depend on the type and amount of waste, and how urgently you need it removed. 

 

Cheapest licensed bulky waste collector in Sevenoaks

The best way to find the cheapest rubbish collector in Sevenoaks is to use the LoveJunk waste removal and reuse marketplace. It’s quick and easy to post a listing: just take some photos of your junk and then a nearby licensed waste collector or reuser will give a quote to take it away. It doesn’t cost to use LoveJunk and it’s widely recommended by councils.

4. Skip hire Sevenoaks

Skips are useful if you have a lot of messy waste or rubble to get rid of. Unlike Man & Van collectors, you’ll need to load the skip yourself. Skip prices are fixed, no matter how full they are at the end. Skip hire is usually much more expensive than Man & Van simply because of additional permit and license fees.

To learn more about how skip fees work, take a look at our Ultimate Guide to Skip Hire.
