What single item collection means
Single item collection is the licensed removal of one bulky household item, priced per item rather than by van space, including the labour to carry it out of the property.
Not every job is a van load. Most people who call us have exactly one problem item: the mattress in the spare room, the fridge that finally died, the wardrobe that will not fit down the stairs. Council bulky waste collections can be weeks out and often need you to carry the item to the kerb yourself.
We price per item, not per van, so you are not paying for space you do not use. The crew comes into the property, does the lifting and the stair work, and the item leaves the same visit with the paperwork behind it.
Key takeaways
- Priced per item — no minimum load and no van-space charge
- We carry it out from any room, garden or garage

- Same-day slots when you book before 11am
