How it works
- STEP 1
Send photographs
Snap the rubbish removal at your Galashiels 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 Galashiels. 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 removal from Galashiels is weighed and documented at a licensed facility afterwards.
What affects the price
Rubbish Removal starts from £95. Your fixed price is confirmed once we have seen photographs.
- Location — travel beyond the included mileage is charged at the vehicle rate
- 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

Rubbish Removal FAQs
Is rubbish removal cheaper than a skip?
Usually, yes. There is no permit, no driveway blocked for a week, and you only pay for the volume actually taken away from your Galashiels address.
Do you sort the rubbish for recycling?
Yes. Loads are separated at a licensed transfer station so that recoverable material is recycled rather than landfilled.
Why do you ask for photographs?
Because guessing is how customers get stung. Photographs let us size the Galashiels vehicle, crew and disposal route correctly, so the price we quote for your rubbish removal is the price you pay.
What happens to the waste after collection?
It goes to a licensed transfer station where it is separated. Recoverable material from Galashiels collections is recycled, and only the residual fraction goes to final disposal.
Do I need to be there?
Not always. If the rubbish removal is accessible from outside at the Galashiels property, we can collect with photographs, written instructions and payment agreed in advance.
Is this cheaper than hiring a skip in Galashiels?
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 removal loads in Galashiels, a wait-and-load collection usually wins on both price and speed.
Are you a licensed waste carrier?
Yes. Every Galashiels 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.
Which Galashiels postcodes do you cover for rubbish removal?
Yes. Our rubbish removal covers the whole of Galashiels, including the TD1 postcode district around the town centre and the surrounding area. We also collect from neighbouring Hawick (14 miles), Peebles (15 miles) and Edinburgh (28 miles) — distances are straight-line from Galashiels. Send your postcode with photos on WhatsApp and we will confirm the fixed price before booking.

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