How it works
- STEP 1
Send photographs
Snap the rubbish clearance at your Kelso address and send it on WhatsApp. Photographs are the single biggest factor in quote accuracy — the more you send, the tighter the fixed price.
- STEP 2
Receive a fixed price
We assess volume, weight and access, then confirm a written figure covering the agreed labour, transport and disposal requirements for your collection in Kelso. Any change in scope is discussed before work continues.
- STEP 3
Choose your slot
Same-day, next-day, weekend and evening windows are offered subject to vehicle availability. You get a confirmed window rather than an all-day wait.
- STEP 4
We load and clear
The crew arrives with the correct vehicle, loads everything by hand, and sweeps up. The collected rubbish clearance from Kelso is weighed and documented at a licensed facility afterwards.
What affects the price
Rubbish Clearance starts from £120. Your fixed price is confirmed once we have seen photographs.
- Volume — how much of the van the load actually fills
- Weight — dense material such as rubble, soil and concrete costs more at the gate
- Waste type — recycling routes are cheaper than general disposal
- Access — stairs, long carries and restricted parking add labour time
- Timing — weekend, evening and emergency slots carry an uplift
- Location — travel beyond the included mileage is charged at the vehicle rate

Rubbish Clearance FAQs
Will the room be empty when you finish?
Yes, that is the definition of a clearance. We agree the scope in writing before the crew leaves for Kelso so there is no argument about what was included.
Can you clear a property I do not live at?
Yes. Landlords, executors and letting agents book most of our Kelso clearances remotely — we send photographs of the finished space.
What happens to the waste after collection?
It goes to a licensed transfer station where it is separated. Recoverable material from Kelso collections is recycled, and only the residual fraction goes to final disposal.
Do I need to be there?
Not always. If the rubbish clearance is accessible from outside at the Kelso property, we can collect with photographs, written instructions and payment agreed in advance.
Is this cheaper than hiring a skip in Kelso?
Frequently. There is no permit to buy, no driveway lost for a week, and you only pay for the space the waste actually occupies. For small and medium rubbish clearance loads in Kelso, a wait-and-load collection usually wins on both price and speed.
Are you a licensed waste carrier?
Yes. Every Kelso collection is carried out by a registered waste carrier and taken to a licensed facility. Waste transfer documentation is issued where duty of care applies.
Can you collect the same day in Kelso?
Often, yes. Same-day rubbish clearance in Kelso depends on vehicle availability at the time you call. If we cannot reach you today we will say so rather than take the booking and let you down.
Which Kelso postcodes do you cover for rubbish clearance?
Yes. Our rubbish clearance covers the whole of Kelso, including the TD5 postcode district around the town centre and the surrounding area. We also collect from neighbouring Jedburgh (9.6 miles), Melrose (11 miles) and Galashiels (15 miles) — distances are straight-line from Kelso. Send your postcode with photos on WhatsApp and we will confirm the fixed price before booking.

Moving as well as clearing in Kelso?
Clearances often sit either side of a move. If you need the furniture that is staying taken to a new address in Kelso, that is a removals job rather than a waste job — and it is priced separately.
