Question 1

What load sizes and prices do you offer in Kent?

Accepted Answer

Four fixed van-load bands, all inclusive of labour, transport and licensed disposal: a quarter load is 3 cubic yards at £140, a half load 6 cubic yards at £210, a three-quarter load 9 cubic yards at £290 and a full load 12 cubic yards at £400 — roughly the volume of a 6-yard skip. Smaller single items start at £70 and we price larger clearances in Kent as multiple loads.

Question 2

How do I work out which van load size I need in Kent?

Accepted Answer

Count in bin bags and bulky items. Roughly 30 bin bags fill a 3-cubic-yard quarter load (£140), 60 bags a 6-cubic-yard half load (£210), 90 bags a 9-cubic-yard three-quarter load (£290) and 120 bags a 12-cubic-yard full load (£400), which is about the volume of a 6-yard skip or eight 240-litre wheelie bins. A three-piece suite or a small bedroom clear-out is usually a quarter to half load. Send photos and we size it for you before we travel to Kent.

Question 3

What is included in the price in Kent?

Accepted Answer

Every load price — £140 for 3 cubic yards, £210 for 6, £290 for 9 and £400 for a full 12-cubic-yard load — includes a two-person crew who carry everything out, all loading and lifting from anywhere in the property or garden, transport, transfer-station gate fees, a sweep-up afterwards and your waste transfer note emailed within 24 hours. There are no fuel, congestion, stair or weekend surcharges in Kent. Only weight-based waste such as soil, rubble and concrete, and specialist items like fridges (£70) and commercial fridges (£120), are priced separately.

Question 4

When can you collect in Kent, and how quickly?

Accepted Answer

Book before 11am and same-day collection is usually available in Kent, otherwise next working day including Saturdays, with a two-hour arrival window and a call when the crew is en route. We collect Monday to Friday 7am–7pm, Saturday 7am–5pm and Sunday 9am–4pm. Load size does not change availability — a 3-cubic-yard quarter load and a 12-cubic-yard full load are booked on the same slots, and larger clearances are scheduled as consecutive loads on the same day.

Question 5

Can you collect a mattress the same day in Kent?

Accepted Answer

Usually yes. Book before 11am and we will normally fit a mattress collection into that day's round across the main Kent towns, because it is a quick stop rather than a full load.

Question 6

Do I need to put the mattress outside?

Accepted Answer

No. Leaving a mattress on the pavement risks a fly-tipping notice from your district council. We come into the property, wrap it and carry it out ourselves.

Question 7

Is mattress collection cheaper than the council?

Accepted Answer

The headline council bulky waste fee can be lower, but it usually covers kerbside collection only, on a date set by them, often one to three weeks out. Our price includes coming inside, removing it now and providing a transfer note.

Question 8

How is a mattress actually recycled?

Accepted Answer

It is cut open and stripped by hand or machine. Steel springs are baled for metal recycling, foam is shredded and reused in carpet underlay, and felt and fibre layers become industrial wipes or insulation. Around 75% of a typical mattress is recoverable.

Load / item	What it covers	Price
Single mattress	Collected from any floor	£60
Double mattress	Wrapped and carried out	£60
King / super king	Two-person carry	£60
Mattress plus divan base	Combined collection	from £95
