Tipper Van Pricing
Tipper van load bands for most household, garden, office, and mixed-clearance jobs.
These prices are built around the same tipper-van structure used for day-to-day rubbish removal. The exact quote is still checked against the waste stream, weight, and access conditions on the job.
| Load | Loading Time | Cubic Yards | Max Weight | Equivalent | Price |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Minimum load | 10 min | 1.5 | 100-150 kg | 8 bin bags | GBP 90 |
| 1/4 load | 20 min | 3.5 | 200-250 kg | 20 bin bags | GBP 160 |
| 1/2 load | 40 min | 7 | 500-600 kg | 40 bin bags | GBP 250 |
| 3/4 load | 50 min | 10 | 700-800 kg | 60 bin bags | GBP 330 |
| Full load | 60 min | 14 | 900-1100 kg | 80 bin bags | GBP 490 |
Tipper-van pricing is based on both the volume and the weight of the waste. Very heavy loads can hit weight limits before the van looks full, so rubble, soil, concrete, tiles, and similar materials may be priced as heavy waste instead of a simple light mixed load.
How We Price
Volume first
Most jobs are priced by how much space the load takes in the tipper van, not by guesswork.
How We Price
Weight still matters
Dense waste such as rubble, tiles, soil, concrete, and wet timber can hit weight limits before the van looks full.
How We Price
Waste stream changes cost
Mixed household rubbish, green waste, furniture, builders waste, and specialist items do not all dispose at the same rate.
How We Price
Access affects labour
Stairs, long carries, tight hallways, basement jobs, or restricted parking can change the final quote.
Included In The Price
What the standard quote already covers.
Two-person loading team

Additional Charges
Specialist disposal items are charged separately.
The table below covers the common extra-charge items customers ask about most. These are not hidden fees. They are only added when the load includes items that must go through a separate disposal route.

|---|---|---|
| Mattress | Special disposal route | GBP 36 each |
| Under-counter fridge or freezer | WEEE and cooling-gas disposal | GBP 60 each |
| Upright fridge or freezer | WEEE and cooling-gas disposal | GBP 78 each |
| American-style fridge | Oversized WEEE disposal | GBP 96 each |
| Commercial fridge | Specialist commercial disposal | GBP 150 each |
| Sofa | Upholstered furniture disposal rules | GBP 48 each |
| Fluorescent tube | Special recycling stream | GBP 3 each |
| Paint | Charged by volume for recycling | GBP 3 per litre |
If the load is mostly specialist or heavy waste, it is better to flag that at quote stage so we can price it accurately the first time. Photos are the fastest way to do that.

We match the closest band

The crew confirms on arrival

How do you handle rubbish disposal in Chelsea?
Collected waste from Chelsea SW3 is handled by a licensed waste carrier, with compliant rubbish disposal and a focus on reuse and recycling where possible.
How much does rubbish removal cost in Chelsea SW3?
Most Chelsea SW3 jobs quote by volume rather than item count. Minimums usually start around £90 for a small pickup or a few bagged items; quarter loads usually land around £160, half loads around £250, and full 14-yard loads around £490. Access, floor level, and whether you need a loading bay suspension in Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea can nudge the price, but a licensed carrier will confirm the final number on WhatsApp before booking rather than add extras on arrival. Local prices and enforcement rules can shift — always double-check with the RBKC portal for the latest when booking.
Do you offer same-day rubbish removal in Chelsea SW3?
Yes, same-day and next-day slots are often available in Chelsea SW3 when the enquiry comes in before midday and the crew has a van returning through SW3 that afternoon. Weekend and end-of-month tenancy dates fill faster, so send photos and access notes on WhatsApp first rather than calling to check availability blind.
Skip hire vs man and van in Chelsea SW3 — which is better?
Skips make sense if you have a driveway or a private yard, 5+ days to fill it slowly, and no need for two-person lifting from inside the property. For most SW3 front-loaded terraces, mansion blocks, basement jobs, and tenancy turnovers a man-and-van licensed team works out cheaper overall because you pay for labour + one-off truck load-in rather than skip-hire + permit + 2-week rental + council-enforced pavement fines if the skip sits on the highway without a permit.
Are you a licensed waste carrier for Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea jobs?
Always book a licensed waste carrier in RBKC. The Royal Borough actively enforces duty-of-care — if an unlicensed driver dumps your load anywhere between Holland Park, South Kensington museums, or the Chelsea riverside, the property holder (homeowner, landlord, lessee, or managing agent) sits with the fine rather than the driver. Verify every operator on the Environment Agency public register. You can verify any operator name on the Environment Agency public register in under a minute. A proper Chelsea SW3 crew sends the carrier registration number, insurance, and a waste transfer note (WTN) within 48 hours of collection — not just an invoice. Figures quoted here match RBKC guidance last checked against the council site, but policies can change week-to-week.
