This type of service is often useful in the clearance of commercial properties, or construction sites or for residential customers who cannot drive, live alone, do not have much free time or have an excessive volume of waste that they need help in clearing.

Due to the waste types most waste clearance companies and sole traders offering the service achieve a good rate of reuse and/or recycling, meaning less waste is sent to landfill, if you find a good company that carries out the service properly it is a very environmentally friendly waste clearance service.

At Wayst, we work with our trusted service providers in your area to provide professional man and van hire that care not only about our customers but what happens to the waste after removal too.

Most of the vehicles used for this type of waste removal can be easily maneuvered and parked pretty much anywhere for loading, which makes them ideal for bulky waste removal, in built up areas.

Customer service is very important to us, so we try to meet any special requirements our clients have to make the process as easy as possible.

Question 2

Proficient Man and Van waste removal in Uxbridge

Accepted Answer

When you choose a waste carrier they are legally required to provide the documentation associated with the clearance which most of the time includes a waste transfer note, good companies will also ask to see pictures of the waste and will obtain as much detail as possible before doing the work to carry out a risk assessment to ensure all will be carried out safely. Although it seems like a pretty easy job there are potential complications and things to look for when picking up, removing and transferring waste safely, this is particularly important if the waste is of a hazardous nature.

To hire a man and van you usually have to either call or submit a request online to arrange your time and date for collection. To make sure that you get an accurate estimate for the work involved you should always be asked to send the clearance company images of your waste, which allows them to estimate the load size ensuring they are planning for the worst case scenario. Professional outfits will never surprise you with hidden costs, to guard against that we offer you a no obligation service if we get to site and find that the load size is more than what has been quoted.

At Wayst, we have various options available to enable us to offer cost effective services irrespective of the amount of waste you have to clear. Our load sizes range from a mini load, which takes up to 1 cubic yard of waste up to an extra large load which takes up to 14 cubic yards of waste.

Local Man and Van rubbish clearance

Accepted Answer

Here at Wayst we put our man and van partners through a thorough qualifying process before we offer their services on the platform, verifying all of their insurances, licenses, accreditations, training, management standards and waste disposal facilities to ensure they can be aligned with our brand.

The Wayst platform connects you with licensed, trustworthy and professional man and van services in your area, we take the time and hassle out of searching for and speaking to man and van companies meaning you do not need to worry about the job going as planned or not.

In the instance that your waste is disposed of irresponsibly or illegally, the customer tends to be held responsible, which leads to fines and possibly even legal action taken against them. A legitimate waste clearance company will be able to provide you with evidence of public liability and vehicle insurance at the minimum legal level, as well as accreditations and memberships, for example the Contractors Health and Safety Assessment Scheme (CHAS), which is an indication of good professional standards.

Question 4

Man and Van rubbish clearance prices

Accepted Answer

Man and Van prices often depend on three main factors, they are:

- The volume/weight of the waste
- How long it takes to load the waste into the vehicle
- The types of waste cleared (general or hazardous)

Simply the more waste you have and the longer it will take to clear means it will cost you more.

Additional charges will be applied if you have specialist waste items like monitors, mattresses and fridges as part of the load, for example.

Hiring a man and a van can work out cheaper or the same price of hiring a skip, it can also be more cost effective than hiring a van for you to transport your own waste. The difference is with man and van hire you can leave most of the work to the clearance teams making it a much easier and hassle free option than doing it yourself.

Question 5

When to use Man and Van rubbish collection services

Accepted Answer

This type of service takes the hassle out of having to clear waste yourself and it is most commonly used when the waste, like redundant furniture, equipment and general junk too big for the bin is ready to go. The biggest benefit is not having to do any heavy lifting yourself or going to a waste disposal site. A man with a van service collects most waste types including commercial, construction and household waste, however, hazardous waste, could be more specialist meaning you should always check if the clearance company can properly dispose of items like paints, batteries and white goods for example.
