Leeds Carpet Removal helpful tips

• How much does carpet removal cost in Leeds?

  The cost of carpet removal in Leeds depends on the type of carpet, amount of carpet, urgency of the job and how simple the removal. Lots of heavy carpet that also needs uplifting will be more expensive. Whereas a small roll of carpet ready for collection by the curbside tends to cost less. That said, the best way to find out how much carpet removal costs is to ask. Simply create a LoveJunk listing and wait for local waste collectors to submit removal quotes.

• How to get the cheapest removal price

  If you have the flexibility, it’s best to list your carpet waste on a weekday and choose ‘Anytime’ as your collection date. Weekdays are when collectors are most active in Leeds and ‘anytime’ offers them the most opportunity to fit your job into their collection routes. Optimise your listing with good photos (ideally a short video too) plus a clear title and description. It will cost less if you uplift the carpet yourself beforehand. You could also cut it into smaller sections and leave it already rolled close to the pick up point. Don’t forget to keep it dry - wet, heavy carpet costs more to dispose of!

• What types of carpet can I get removed?

  You can use the platform to get rid of any unwanted carpet, including offcuts and underlay. You can also use LoveJunk for other types of flooring. For example, laminate, tiles, wood, ceramic, floorboards, rugs and mats.

• Can my carpet be reused?

  Possibly yes! Lots of reuse happens on the LoveJunk marketplace every week. If you think your carpet could be reused, is clean and in genuinely good condition, then tick the ‘reusable’ box when you create your LoveJunk listing. Ticking this box alerts local junk reusers (not just licensed waste removers) who will pick up for free if they like what they see. Old carpet can be used by gardeners or animal shelters, for example, so keep an eye out for any messages from Junk Reusers.

• How quickly can I get my carpet collected?

  Very quickly! You’ll normally start getting offers from waste collectors to dispose of your carpet within minutes of creating your LoveJunk listing. Provided you select ‘ASAP’ or choose today’s date as your required pickup time - those offers will be to collect your carpet very quickly. Bear in mind that specifying an urgent collection will probably cost you more than if you offer a more flexible collection window. Top tip: make your carpet as accessible as possible and mention this in the description. The quicker collectors can load your waste, the more likely they can fit it into their schedule last minute.
