Junk runs

Junk removal vs skip hire

When a one-trip rubbish collection suits the job and when a skip is more practical.

Both can be right. The job decides.

A junk run usually suits

  • a one-off clear-out
  • a few bulky items
  • bagged household waste
  • a load that can be collected in one visit
  • customers who need help loading

A skip may suit

  • building work over several days
  • waste being produced gradually
  • a large amount of heavy material
  • a site with safe space for the skip

A road skip may need permission. A junk run needs the full load listed before booking.

Special disposal items

Mattresses, fridges, freezers, tyres, rubble, soil and plasterboard can affect the price or require review. Select them in the booking rather than hiding them in the notes.

Book a junk run.
