What same-day rubbish collection means
Same-day rubbish collection is an urgent licensed clearance where a crew is dispatched on the day you call, loads your waste and issues a waste transfer note, rather than booking you into a slot later in the week.
Urgent jobs rarely give notice. A tenancy check-in has been brought forward, a buyer is viewing at four, a landlord has handed you keys to a flat full of someone else's furniture. In those situations the useful question is not what a clearance costs in general, it is whether a van can be outside today.
We hold capacity back each morning for exactly this. Call before 11am and we will tell you honestly whether today is possible for your postcode before taking any details — Medway, Gravesham and Maidstone are the easiest to fill at short notice, and the further east you go the more likely it becomes a next-morning slot.
