We reply with a firm, all-in quote by volume — labour and disposal included.
We load it all
Our crew arrives, carries everything out, and loads the van. You lift nothing.
Cleared & recycled
We sweep up, take it away, and recycle whatever we can at licensed sites.
Commercial and trade waste in Chorleywood
We clear trade and commercial waste in Chorleywood too — office and shop clear-outs around the station and Lower Road, end-of-tenancy strip-outs, and end-of-job waste for builders and fitters working across WD3. Commercial loads are priced by volume like household ones, with a duty-of-care waste transfer note for every load.
We take most non-hazardous streams: general and mixed waste, office and shop fittings, timber and pallets, cardboard, flooring and carpet, plasterboard and light rubble. A man and van cannot legally carry hazardous waste loose — asbestos, chemicals, clinical waste, gas bottles and tyres — but tell us what you have and we will point you to the right specialist. For Chorleywood shops and small sites we can work around opening hours, including early mornings, evenings and weekends.
What we collect in Chorleywood
Chorleywood is a green, semi-rural corner of WD3: large detached houses backing onto the Common, gravel drives, and long approach lanes off the main roads towards Rickmansworth and Loudwater. Homes here tend to be big and long-lived-in, and that shapes the work — garage and shed clear-outs, loft emptying before a sale, decades of accumulated furniture, and post-builder waste from extensions and loft conversions.
A typical WD3 job for us is a garage that has been filling since the family moved in, a loft cleared ahead of a move, or a mixed pile of household rubbish, old furniture, timber and green waste that has built up at the side of the house. We take all of it in one load — household waste, furniture, appliances, timber, packaging, garden waste and DIY waste together — and the crew carries it out. You do not touch it.
We are based in Uxbridge (UB8), which puts Chorleywood roughly twenty minutes away via Denham and the A412, so same-day slots in WD3 are routine rather than a premium. We work 7am to 10pm seven days a week including bank holidays. Loads are priced by the space they fill, from £95 for a minimum load to £495 for a full Luton, fixed from a photo before we arrive.
Two different councils handle big waste in WD3. Three Rivers District Council runs the home bulky collection — £64 for up to three items, then £25 for each extra item up to a maximum of ten, with white goods and TVs priced separately and a 50% discount on two collections a year for residents on certain benefits. Hertfordshire County Council runs the recycling centres. Confirm current figures on the council’s booking page before you rely on them.
Your nearest tip is Rickmansworth household waste recycling centre on Riverside Drive (WD3 1FS), run by Hertfordshire County Council and free to use — but if you turn up in a van or with a trailer you need a free ePass arranged first. Our Three Rivers bulky waste guide and Rickmansworth recycling centre guide cover the rules in full.
Rubbish removal in Chorleywood — your questions answered
Do I need a skip or a permit in Chorleywood?
No. There is no permit to apply for and no skip standing on a gravel drive or a narrow lane for a week. We turn up, carry everything out and take it away in the same visit.
Is the Three Rivers council collection cheaper?
For a few ordinary items, often yes, and we will tell you. Three Rivers District Council charges £64 for up to three items and then £25 for each extra up to ten, with white goods and TVs priced separately. It stops being the better option when you need things carried out of a house, loft or garage, when the pile includes building or garden waste, or when you need it gone today.
Can you get down a long private lane or gravel drive?
Yes — that describes a lot of Chorleywood. Gravel, gates, a narrow approach lane and a tight turning point are all normal for us. We plan where the van stands and carry the last stretch by hand rather than churning up a drive. Mention any gate or weight restriction when you book.
What does clearing a garage in WD3 cost?
Most single garages come out between a quarter load at £195 and a half load at £320. A double garage with furniture and DIY waste is usually three-quarters at £405. Send a photo from the door and we will fix the price before we set off.
How quickly can you reach Chorleywood?
Usually same day. WD3 is about twenty minutes from our Uxbridge base via Denham and the A412, and we run 7am to 10pm, seven days a week including bank holidays.
Where we collect rubbish near Chorleywood
We are based in Uxbridge (UB8) and cover Chorleywood seven days a week. As well as WD3 we work across Rickmansworth, Little Chalfont, Amersham, Northwood and Beaconsfield, and the villages in between.
What the price includes — and what it doesn't
The most common complaint about clearance companies is a price that grows once the van is loaded. So here is the whole of ours, before you book, including the parts that cost extra.
Included in the price we quote
No line of this is billed separately afterwards.
- Labour — the crew, the carrying and the loading.
- The van, the fuel, ULEZ and the congestion charge — London charges are ours, not yours.
- Disposal and recycling of the load — the tipping cost is inside the price.
- Access from anywhere on the property — any room, up or down stairs, or out of the garden.
- VAT — the price you are shown is the price you pay.
- Waste transfer paperwork for your load, on request — so your duty of care is documented.
Priced separately, or not carried at all
Told to you up front, never discovered on the invoice.
- Upholstered seating and mattresses carry their own disposal fee, because the law forces them down a more expensive route than the rest of your load. The amount is on our pricing page before you book.
- Hazardous items — paint, chemicals, asbestos, tyres and gas bottles cannot travel in a general load and need a specialist route. We will tell you which one.
- Fridges, freezers and electricals have a separate WEEE route — flag them when you book so we arrive with the right van.
- Anything flammable, explosive, illegal, or alive — we cannot carry it, and we will say so before the day.
If there turns out to be more than we quoted for, you hear the new price before anything goes in the van — not once it is loaded, and not on the invoice. The same goes for access: tell us when you book if your street is permit-only or on a red route, or if the job is above the third floor with no lift, and we plan for it instead of pricing round it on the day.
What happens to your waste after we drive away
Most clearance companies stop this story at the word "recycled". Here is the actual route your load takes, including the part of it that nobody advertises.
It goes in by hand
Everything is carried out and loaded by the crew — from the room, the garden or the kerbside. What is in the load matters, because what is in it decides where it is legally allowed to go.
Sorted, not buried
The load goes to a licensed transfer station or recycling centre, where it is separated by material. It is not tipped straight into a hole in the ground.
Recovered by material
Metal, wood, cardboard, textiles and electricals are pulled out for recycling or recovery. Green waste is composted.
The bit nobody advertises
Upholstered furniture cannot be recycled at all. Since January 2023 the Environment Agency presumes every domestic sofa, armchair and padded dining chair contains persistent organic pollutants, so it must be kept apart from other waste and incinerated — never landfilled, never shredded for reuse. That law, not a markup, is why soft seating carries its own fee. Whatever is genuinely left after sorting goes to energy recovery.
- Metal
- Wood
- Cardboard & paper
- Textiles
- Electricals (WEEE)
- Green waste
We do not publish a recycling percentage. You will see "90% diverted from landfill" on a lot of clearance websites. The sorting happens at the transfer station, after our van has left, and we are not going to take credit for a figure we cannot evidence. What we can give you is the route your load takes and the paperwork for it — and if you want to check who handles it, ask us to identify the registered carrier for your collection and verify them on the Environment Agency public register before we load.
Proof, not adjectives
Anyone can type "trusted" and "reliable" onto a website. These are the things about us you can actually check.
We are a small London crew, not a national booking platform, and we are not going to pretend otherwise: we have 27 five-star reviews on Google and 3 on Yell. That is all of them. Every one is public, unedited and one tap away — which is worth rather more than a five-figure review count you have no way of reading.
