At Rubbish Clearance Bermondsey, we keep rubbish removal prices simple and transparent. Our waste collection cost is based on how much space your rubbish takes on our trucks, so you only pay for the volume we remove, not for guesswork or hidden extras. Whether you are clearing a riverside apartment, a Victorian terrace off Jamaica Road or a busy Bermondsey Street office, our pricing is clear from the start.
We use a load-based pricing system measured in cubic yards. This is the fairest way to calculate rubbish removal prices because you pay precisely for the amount of waste we collect. Before any job starts, our team will assess your rubbish on-site, confirm the volume, and agree the final waste collection cost with you. If it looks like more or less than originally discussed over the phone, we tell you immediately so there are no surprises.
All prices include labour for lifting and loading, responsible disposal, and basic sweep-up of the cleared area. The price you agree before we begin is the final price you pay, unless you decide to add more items on the day. We never charge call-out fees for quotes within Bermondsey.
Our trucks are divided into clear sections so we can accurately measure how much of the load your rubbish fills. As a guide, one cubic yard is about the size of a standard household washing machine. The more rubbish we take in one go, the better the value per cubic yard tends to be.
Typical volume bands used to calculate rubbish removal prices are:
Small loads: Up to 3 cubic yards. Ideal for a few bulky items or several bin bags from a compact flat near Bermondsey station or London Bridge.
Medium loads: Around 4 to 7 cubic yards. Suited to a partial flat clearance, a small office declutter or builders waste from a minor refurbishment in one of Bermondsey's warehouse conversions.
Large loads: Around 8 to 12 cubic yards. Works well for larger household clearances in Victorian or Edwardian terraces, bigger office refits or significant garden waste from properties with more outdoor space.
Extra-large loads: 12 cubic yards and above. This covers full property clearances, multiple office floors or heavy renovation waste from busy commercial premises near Tower Bridge Road or Old Kent Road.
We discuss the most suitable load band when you contact us, but the final cost is always confirmed on-site once we see exactly what needs to go.
Every job is different, but these example scenarios help illustrate how our waste collection cost structure works for common property types in Bermondsey.
Example 1: Small flat clear-out near Bermondsey station
A young professional in a modern riverside apartment wants to clear around 10 bin bags of general household rubbish, two small bedside tables and a broken TV. This fills roughly 2 to 3 cubic yards of truck space. It counts as a small load, including labour to carry items down from a higher floor and responsible disposal.
Example 2: Partial Victorian terrace clearance off Jamaica Road
A family living in a traditional Bermondsey terrace is preparing for a loft conversion and needs to remove old suitcases, mixed bric-a-brac, several boxes of books and a couple of wardrobes. The total volume comes to around 5 to 6 cubic yards. This is a medium load and usually suits our standard household rubbish removal prices. We factor in carrying items down from loft and first floor, as well as dismantling large wardrobes if needed.
Example 3: Office declutter on Bermondsey Street
A creative agency in a busy Bermondsey Street office decides to clear five old desks, ten chairs, two filing cabinets, cardboard packaging and general office clutter. This fills around 6 to 7 cubic yards on our truck. It is priced as a medium load, and includes labour for removing furniture from the first-floor office, plus appropriate recycling of metal and wood items where possible.
Example 4: Builders waste after flat refurbishment near London Bridge
A landlord has completed a small flat renovation and needs rubble, broken tiles, old kitchen units, offcuts of wood and packaging removed. The total comes to around 8 to 10 cubic yards. This is a large load, reflecting the extra weight and recycling requirements of mixed construction waste. We give a clear breakdown so the waste collection cost remains fully transparent.
Example 5: Full house and garden clearance in a larger Bermondsey property
A long-term Bermondsey resident is downsizing from a larger house near Southwark Park and needs a full property clearance. This includes old sofas, beds, wardrobes, appliances, garden furniture, shed contents and green waste. The total volume may reach 12 to 16 cubic yards, often needing most or all of one of our trucks. We price this as an extra-large load, and we can usually offer better value per cubic yard when we are taking such a substantial volume in one visit.
While volume is the main factor in our rubbish removal prices, a few other elements can influence the final quote:
Type of waste: Standard household and office rubbish is usually cheaper to process than heavy builders waste or materials that require special handling, such as mattresses or certain electrical items.
Access and location: Tighter access, many flights of stairs or long carrying distances can affect labour time, especially in older Bermondsey buildings without lifts. We factor this in fairly and explain any impact on the quote in advance.
Weight: Very heavy loads of soil, rubble or hardcore may have additional disposal charges. We always make this clear before starting.
We offer completely free, no-obligation quotes for all rubbish clearance work in Bermondsey and the surrounding streets. You can tell us what you need removed, send photos if helpful, and we will give an initial estimate based on volume and type of waste. When our team arrives, they confirm the exact rubbish removal price before lifting a single item.
If you decide not to go ahead at that stage, there is no charge for the quote visit. Our aim is to make waste collection cost as predictable and stress-free as possible, so you can budget with confidence for your flat, house, office or shop clearance.
Bermondsey has a mix of compact modern apartments, characterful loft conversions, traditional terraces and busy commercial spaces. A one-size-fits-all price would not be fair. Our load-based system allows us to match rubbish removal prices to the exact scale of each job, whether you are clearing a small studio near the station or an entire multi-floor office.
You always know what you are paying for, and you only pay for the space you use. By combining cubic yard measurements, clear volume bands and a firm quote agreed on-site, we keep your waste collection cost fully transparent from start to finish.
