With the man and van service you are typically able to book in short notice with readily available time slots and quick turnaround times and most commonly yon book a man and van removal service by phone, however at Wayst we enable you to do this online if you wish.

Be ready to provide clear pictures or measurements of the exact size of the load you wish to have removed, as the man and van company uses these pictures/measurements to assess the load size along with the type of waste in order to calculate a quote for the clearance.

Manual labour such as heavy lifting should be included in your quote as this service does exactly that, however you may have to arrange a parking permit for the man and van service if you live in a controlled parking zone.

If you cannot find a time slot where it is possible for you to be physically present, if you have the space to store waste somewhere it is possible to arrange a clearance where you do not have to be present, however please ensure that if this is the case you are provided with proof of the clearance by receiving pictures along with a digital copy of the waste transfer note.

Question 3

Local man and van rubbish clearance

Accepted Answer

In Bromley, you will be able to find a variety of companies and sole traders to choose from when enquiring about man and van services however, please be note that it is your responsibility to ensure that the company you choose is suitably licensed and accredited to remove your waste, is taking it to a licensed waste facility and can prove it through the documentation they provide you with after the clearance.

A reputable waste company will be able to provide proof of membership with an institution such as the Contractors Health and Safety Assessment Scheme (CHAS) and will run their business around processes that are compliant with health and safety management standards as well as all environmental regulations for waste removal and disposal.

While a locally based man and van service will be familiar with the area, a larger company whose services functions over a larger area will have more options when it comes to waste disposal as they have a wider access to various recycle and reuse depots, which ensures a better environmental impact as it is more than likely that less of your waste ends up in landfill.

At Wayst, we use waste carriers of all sizes to be able to offer a tailor-made man and van service for your waste removal needs. We ensure that over 90% of the waste we handle is either recycled or reused where possible.

Question 4

Man and van rubbish clearance prices

Accepted Answer

A man and van waste removal service is often the most cost-effective solution to remove a larger amount of waste or unwanted bulky items from your property. The service should come with at least two operatives to carry out the labour involved for you.

The price of the service often depends on the quantity and type of waste removed, the amount of manual labour required and the duration of the service.

For hazardous waste like monitors, TV’s paint and fluorescent tubes, additional disposal costs should also be added to your quote, as they are specialist waste and need to go to specialist recycling facilities.

Man and van waste removal companies all vary in rates, but as a guide, you could expect to pay around £130+VAT for a small to medium load of 4 cubic yards, while a full truckload (around 14 cubic yards) could amount to £300+VAT.

You can ensure an accurate quote by providing the company with clear pictures of the waste you wish to have removed and detailing the labour work involved. You should also enquire first whether you have any specialist waste streams that will be charged as extra, to avoid being surprised by additional charges.

You can keep the cost of the service to a minimum by being prepared, this includes sorting your waste beforehand, ensuring the removal teams do not have to park far away from where the waste is stored etc. Always enquire about the types of waste your chosen man and van company has outlets for, as hazardous waste needs a different method of disposal versus general waste.

A man and van waste removal service is generally the most economical way to ensure that your waste is removed within short notice however your job is to ensure the company doing the work is operating safely and within regulations. The more specific you are as possible about your needs and what needs clearing the better.

Question 5

When to use man and van rubbish collection

Accepted Answer

Man and van waste removal services are a popular solution for many types of waste removal, whether from a commercial or domestic property.

A man and van waste removal service may be right for you if you wish to remove large amounts of general bagged waste or recyclable items, bulkier reusable items such as furniture and some electrical appliances, garden waste, wood cut-offs and other bric-a-brac.

Due to the quick turnaround time and same-day delivery options, a man and van service may also be suitable if you wish to urgently remove any unwanted items from your property.

Man and van waste removal services are ideal for those moving from one property to another who wish to get rid of unwanted items without worrying about finding a recycling or reuse depot or having a vehicle large enough to be able to transport bulkier items such as mattresses or sofas.

All man and van services should be thorough when it comes to explaining what happens to the waste once they have carried out the removal especially when it comes to collecting and disposing of hazardous waste such as lead-based paint, asbestos or medical waste.

Question 6

What you need to know about Bromley

Accepted Answer

Bromley is one of the largest boroughs in London and is regarded as a desirable area due to its range of high value properties. Bickley, which is near Bromley town centre is notably affluent, although there is a wide range of housing options from rental properties, to houses suitable for first time buyers. Even though Bromley is London’s biggest borough it has fewer people per acre than every other Greater London area. This is because half of the borough is dedicated to nature and as a result, Bromley has the largest amount of green space in London. There are plenty of attractions to visit in the borough such as Down House (Home of Charles Darwin), the Crystal Palace Park, Chislehurst Caves, Church House Gardens, and the Glades. The Churchill Theatre, which is in Bromley town centre hosts a wide range of touring performances and seats 781 people.

Question 7

What are the different ways to dispose of waste in Bromley?

Accepted Answer

The local authority in Bromley strongly encourages residents to recycle as much refuse as possible, and to keep general waste to a minimum. There are over 40 recycling sites in Bromley, shown on the council with a link to Google Maps to make them easy and convenient for people to use. Residents can also check collection days, report missed collections and order recycling containers via the website.

The council requires residents to hold a permit to use the recycling centres in the borough, which is free of charge. Bromley council also provides a detailed guide on their website on how to find independent waste carriers in line with the Waste Regulations Act (2005) to ensure that carriers are registered and authorised to transfer waste. While this legislation is mainly used for the control and tracking of hazardous waste, it should be noted that it applies to any and every organisation that transfers waste, as that which is not disposed of properly will inevitably present an environmental hazard.

The report states that nearly all non-recyclable waste is being sent to an energy recovery facility, which is great news for the environment, and highlights efforts to collect batteries and small electrical items as part of a renewed recycling service for the borough. ‘What happens to my recycling’ is another source of information on the waste news section of the website that explains how items are repurposed or reprocessed, ensuring that residents are kept up to date with developments and assuring them that their recycling is being handled correctly. The council have also added electric vans to their fleet of recycling collection vehicles and reduced vehicle movement by 10% at their recycling centres by introducing larger containers that need to be emptied less frequently.
