Rubbish Removal in London
London House Clearance provides dependable, fully compliant rubbish removal services across London. We help households, landlords, businesses and contractors remove unwanted waste quickly and responsibly—without the heavy lifting, uncertainty or risk that often comes with disposal.
Rubbish can build up for many reasons: moving home, refurbishing, clearing a tenancy or managing day-to-day waste. Our experienced teams handle everything from collection to lawful disposal, leaving your space clean, safe and ready to use.
What Is Rubbish Removal?
Rubbish removal is the professional collection, loading and disposal of unwanted waste from residential and commercial properties. This includes mixed materials that exceed standard bin limits or cannot be accepted through council collections.
Using a professional service ensures waste is handled safely and in line with UK regulations. As a licensed waste carrier, we take responsibility for proper transport and disposal at authorised facilities.

Why Professional Rubbish Removal Is Better Than DIY or Council Options
DIY disposal often involves multiple trips, heavy lifting and uncertainty about where waste can be taken. Council services are limited in scope, inflexible and may not accept bulky or mixed waste.
A professional service offers:
- Fast and flexible collection
- Safe handling of heavy or awkward items
- Full legal compliance
- No need for permits or vehicle hire
- Higher recycling and recovery rates
For most situations, professional removal is the most efficient and responsible choice.
Legal Compliance and Duty of Care
London House Clearance operates as a licensed waste carrier and follows all UK Duty of Care requirements. Anyone producing or handling waste must ensure it is disposed of correctly.
Our service ensures:
- Waste is transferred only to authorised facilities
- Environmental regulations are followed
- You remain fully compliant with the law
This protects you from liability associated with fly-tipping or improper disposal.
Recycling-First and Landfill Reduction
We prioritise recycling wherever possible. Recyclable materials such as cardboard, metals, plastics and electrical components are separated and diverted from landfill.
Only non-recyclable waste is sent for final disposal, reducing environmental impact while delivering a complete removal service.
Experienced, Insured and Professional Teams
Our teams are fully trained, insured and experienced in handling rubbish removal efficiently. We work to professional standards, respect your property and leave areas clean and tidy.
With years of experience across London homes and businesses, we understand how to deliver reliable removal without disruption.

Yes. We are a licensed waste carrier and operate fully under UK Duty of Care regulations. All waste is taken to authorised facilities, ensuring correct disposal and protecting you from legal liability.
What happens to rubbish after collection?
