Grab Lorries and tippers are used by professional rubbish clearance companies to save time and manual labour and can clear in a day what would otherwise take labourers a week. Rubbish removal services from building sites are usually in the form of muck away for inert waste with grab lorries, used to remove piles of soil, rubble and hardcore. The other most common way of removing rubbish from construction sites is by hiring a skip, depending on the amount of space available to leave one on site. Typically the 8 yard skips which can take a maximum weight of 8 tonnes are used for loading inert heavy waste, larger skips can be loaded with lighter waste such as timber, hardboard flooring and other general waste types including fixtures and fittings. If there's no room for the skip on site, they can be parked on public property, however they cost a lot more to be placed by the roadside as council permits and sometimes parking permits are applicable.

Rubbish removal companies should be licensed in order to operate, and this is the first thing you need to look for when choosing a rubbish removal service provider. We ensure all of our contractors are vetted but you can cross reference the Environment Agency website, which holds a database of all licensed waste transfer companies to cross reference. When dealing with waste transfer and collection of waste from businesses, companies are required to hold an upper tier waste carriers license. You can also use the database to cross check companies by name and/or registration number, as individuals hiring a rubbish removal company for any purpose have a legal duty of care to only use waste carriers they know to be legitimate.
