How it works
- STEP 1
Send photographs
Snap the school clearance at your Wotton-under-Edge 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 Wotton-under-Edge. 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 school clearance from Wotton-under-Edge is weighed and documented at a licensed facility afterwards.
What affects the price
School & Education Clearance starts from £140. 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

School & Education Clearance FAQs
Can you work during half term only?
Yes, and it is the norm. Book Wotton-under-Edge education clearances early — every school in the area wants the same fortnight.
What about old IT equipment holding data?
Screens and hardware go to a WEEE-licensed recycler. Where drives hold data, remove or arrange certified destruction first — we do not certify data erasure.
Why do you ask for photographs?
Because guessing is how customers get stung. Photographs let us size the Wotton-under-Edge vehicle, crew and disposal route correctly, so the price we quote for your school clearance 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 Wotton-under-Edge collections is recycled, and only the residual fraction goes to final disposal.
Do I need to be there?
Not always. If the school clearance is accessible from outside at the Wotton-under-Edge property, we can collect with photographs, written instructions and payment agreed in advance.
Is this cheaper than hiring a skip in Wotton-under-Edge?
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 school clearance loads in Wotton-under-Edge, a wait-and-load collection usually wins on both price and speed.
Are you a licensed waste carrier?
Yes. Every Wotton-under-Edge 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 Wotton-under-Edge postcodes do you cover for school clearance?
Yes. Our school clearance covers the whole of Wotton-under-Edge, including the GL12 postcode district around the town centre and the surrounding area. We also collect from neighbouring Dursley (3 miles), Nailsworth (6.9 miles) and Chipping Sodbury (7.1 miles) — distances are straight-line from Wotton-under-Edge. Send your postcode with photos on WhatsApp and we will confirm the fixed price before booking.

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