Man and van waste removal

Homeowners, landlords, letting agents, small builders and people clearing a property.

A price per load or per collection, based on how much space the waste takes up in your van, plus extra for heavy items or tip fees.

• Fit for heavy lifting
• Clear quoting and honest pricing
• Reliable and good with customers

• Waste carrier registration is likely needed to carry waste for others, check the rules for your part of the UK
• Keep waste transfer notes and only use licensed disposal sites, as you can be held responsible for where waste ends up
• Fly-tipping fines and prosecution if waste is dumped illegally
• Tip fees and van costs can eat into margins, so factor them into your price
• Public liability and goods in transit insurance, and check your van insurance covers business use

Startup costs are typically estimated at around £3,000 to £12,000, depending mainly on the van you buy, insurance and any signage or equipment. Tip fees and van running costs can eat into margins, so factor them into your prices.

Monthly revenue is typically estimated at around £1,000 to £5,000, depending on how many jobs you take, your prices and whether you work alone or with a helper. These are estimates of revenue, not profit.

Check the waste carrier registration rules for your part of the UK, and keep waste transfer notes. Use only licensed disposal sites, as fly-tipping can bring fines and prosecution. Also check public liability, goods in transit and van insurance for business use.
