Learn more about Rubbish Removal in East London

Rubbish removal services in East London are an essential part of daily life in this busy, densely populated area of the city. Most businesses and many households use these services throughout East London, as well as in construction, where large amounts of builders’ waste require clearance and disposal.

In East London, there are many independent man and van companies that offer rubbish removal services. Many private waste removal services are based in Hackney, although they serve all East London boroughs. Man and van rubbish removal services commonly offer same or next day waste removals for a range of household waste, including bulky items and furniture removals. Although all independent contractors may provide suitable services, it is important to carry out a waste carriers license check, which you can find on the environment agency website, before using a provider.

Here at Wayst, we acknowledge that due to a large amount of domestic and commercial rubbish that requires regular disposal in East London, reuse and recycling initiatives must be given full support by waste companies offering waste disposal services. To protect East London and its neighbouring green spaces, we target a 92% recycling rate for all of the rubbish our partners clear and dispose of, whilst carrying out the clearance in accordance with the waste carriers license regulations and waste type legislation.

Household rubbish removal in East London

House clearance, furniture removal and garden clearance are all considered to be household rubbish removal services, and although East London councils have their own household rubbish removal and collection services that provide low cost options, the majority use private waste contractors as it works out to be a lot more cost effective when taking into account the responsiveness and flexibility of the private contractor versus the council.

Typical waste items we see that make up household rubbish removals include:

- Fridges and freezers
- Microwaves
- Washing machines
- Furniture (wardrobes, beds, sofas, etc.)
- Mirrors
- Bikes
- Carpet
- Smaller electrical appliances

Over the last few years over 250,000 sofas, 200,000 mattresses and almost 500,000 fridges have been discarded in East London and with the surge in population this will only increase in the years to come, so the combined options of the cheaper or free rubbish collections organised by the borough councils as well as the more convenient rubbish removal services offered by private waste companies are vital keeping the streets of East London free from household waste. Unfortunately, council services are often a slow process; Hackney Borough Council charge £15 for household rubbish removal but will need at least five working days to remove it, and free rubbish removal from Tower Hamlets can take up to two weeks.

At Wayst, we offer you the flexibility of booking a time that suits your needs and guarantee next day household rubbish collection. Our service also includes every part of the pick-up and removal, so you do not have to worry about moving heavy items yourself. We also sort and separate all waste collected so we can easily pick up multiple waste types in one load.

Commercial rubbish removal in East London

Once known as the heart of industry in the city, East London has undergone significant redevelopment in recent years. With areas like Shoreditch, Dalston and Stratford becoming more commercialised, and Canary Wharf becoming the new home of finance within the city, and with so many businesses and start-ups taking root in East London, the amount of commercial waste has risen exponentially.

Commercial waste constitutes anything from general business rubbish to electronic waste or WEEE (waste electrical and electronic equipment) like laptops, TVs, computers and printers. Due to the rapid expansion of businesses in the area, business and building owners discarded nearly 2 million items of office furniture last year. This tremendous amount of leftover furniture is a product of the regular refurbishment and refitting of offices, shops, venues, bars and restaurants, and without office clearance services or recycle and reuse initiatives, large amounts of this commercial rubbish may end up in landfills.

Thanks to The Environment Protection Act 1990, business owners are legally obligated to dispose of their commercial waste responsibly. Working with an unlicensed commercial waste carrier could result in considerable fines or even a criminal conviction. In recent years, the increase in tech, property and financial businesses in East London means that confidential waste like files, hard-drives and bills need to be disposed of or recycled too.

After removing confidential waste, removal companies need to be extra careful when disposing of such sensitive information. Improper disposal can result in cases of identity theft, fraud and legal issues with clients. Rubbish removal services offered by our partners will always come accompanied with the correct documentation, such as a waste transfer note or consignment note for hazardous waste. We make sure we work with companies who have been through security screenings and only use secure and environmentally friendly waste disposal outlets.

Construction rubbish removal in East London

With so much redevelopment and regeneration taking place in East London, there is an increased demand for construction rubbish removal. One of the best ways to clear and eventually dispose of construction rubbish is by using a skip. There are many skip hire services available in East London, with several companies situated around the Canning Town area in the borough of Newham. You must get permission from the council before parking a skip on the street to prevent potential disruptions to traffic and pedestrians. Permit prices vary from borough to borough, with the East London average being about £70.

Areas in and around Canning Town are home to many residential tower construction projects, so construction companies tend to be the ones hiring skips for heavy waste like bricks, rubble, timber, and cement. Most skip hire services offer 4-yard to 16-yard skips with next or same-day delivery, as well as Roll On Roll Off (RORO) skips up to 40 yards long. RORO skip hire is a great construction rubbish removal solution as the large dimensions allow for more storage.

Rubbish removal prices

The prices for rubbish removal in East London range, it really depends on the type of waste type and service you are looking into, for example man and van type clearances typically charge for the capacity taken up on the truck and range from £60+VAT to £500+VAT depending on how much waste you have to clear, skips are charged at a fixed price (if off road), RORO’s are usually charged on weight by the tonne and hazardous waste streams are charged per item.

As mentioned above, the borough councils within East London offer bulky item collection services for household rubbish with varying prices and flexibility. Waltham Forest council charges £61 for a collection of up to 5 items, whereas Barking and Dagenham charges £10 for up to 4 items. However in both Tower Hamlets and Redbridge, the collection of bulky household rubbish is free twice a year for residents, so there is a limit.

Most rubbish removal services in East London charge a handling fee for hazardous waste, where items are usually needed to be disposed of in a specific manner. For example, removal of a fridge freezer may incur an extra charge of between £20 and £50 on top of the load.

How to choose a rubbish removal company

Choosing the right rubbish removal company needn’t be too stressful. Still, certain details are important to know before you consider hiring a company to collect and dispose of your waste, as you have a duty of care to ensure that the company you hire is disposing of your rubbish in a responsible, legal manner.

Any rubbish removal company that is operating legally will:

- Complete risk assessments for the work at hand
- Issue documentation such as waste transfer notes & hazardous waste consignment notes
- Hold certifications such Safe-Contractor, whilst being licenced by the Environment Agency
- Have a range of up to date insurance to cover any worst case scenarios

What you need to know about East London

East London has traditionally been known as the centre for manufacturing and trade in the city. Less wealthy than west central areas, people have historically come to this part of London to work in the docks and factories along the banks of the Thames. The work was often incredibly arduous and in dangerous conditions that wealthy neighbourhoods wanted kept away from the city centre. Bone processing, rope making, tanning and gunpowder making were among some of the early East London industries that would have resulted in fumes and air pollution in the area, and fish farms and slaughterhouses would have contributed to putrid odours that would have made much of east London unpleasant to live and work in. The Victorian era of industrialisation also affected the quality of living conditions for London’s East Enders, as many workers from outside the city were bought in resulting in overcrowding and crime as many working-class communities struggled to make ends meet. After the second world war, many of London’s East End industries died out making way for new housing developments, improved standards of living for working class communities, and more social mobility. Nowadays, East London’s Canary Wharf is the home for banking and finance in the city, generating and bringing in vast amounts of wealth to the area. Shoreditch, Dalston and Stratford have been regenerated in recent years and are now considered to be young, trendy, and affluent with many bars, clubs, and pedestrianised shopping areas characterised by quirky independent shops such as those found on Broadway Market. Although it is still the industrial heart of the city, East London has experienced a huge amount of development in recent years from housing to business investment and a growing number of digital technology start-ups. Suppliers and manufacturers now conduct much of their business online and have extended their reach beyond the city, increasing their revenue and economic value. East London based building contractors provide thousands of jobs in construction and related industries in and around the city, and waste disposal in London is another essential service that provides employment for hundreds of workers in the area.

What rubbish collection services are available in East London?

Bulky and large item collection is also a fee-paying service unless the council has a special arrangement for specific items such as free fridge/freezer collections.

What are the plans for a greener future in East London?

In terms of their commitment to the environment and sustainability, many start-ups and SME’s in East London are leading the way, even though it is often more costly for them to do so. With one entrepreneur recently featured in the Made In Shoreditch website for launching a campaign to start the first zero waste, plastic free shop in the area, to tech companies like Bulb, who now provide over 1 million homes with renewable energy, environmentally friendly businesses represent the future both on and offline.

Independent businesses that seek to consider the environment as a key part of their business strategy are also becoming extremely popular with consumers as we continue to notice the adverse effects of manmade climate change. The loss of natural habitats for so many marine and land animals because of rising temperatures and noticeable shifts in seasonal weather patterns is made all the more painful for regular consumers who often have no choice but to opt for single use plastic. The simple lack of choice and provision from big supermarket chains generates huge amounts of nonrecyclable waste which is fast becoming untenable, and this is something start-up companies in east London are capitalising on to pave the way for real commercial and environmental change.
