About Compare Waste Removal

Compare Waste Removal is an independent comparison and information site covering skip hire, man & van rubbish removal, commercial waste clearance, house clearance, garden waste and hazardous/specialist waste disposal across the UK. We’re not a waste removal company ourselves — our aim is to give honest, plain-English explanations of the options available, including genuine trade-offs, so you can have a more informed conversation with a licensed provider.

Anyone removing or transporting waste commercially in the UK must legally hold a valid Environment Agency waste carrier licence, and a skip placed on a public road requires a council skip permit — we always recommend checking a provider’s licence directly on the Environment Agency’s public register before any work begins. Using an unlicensed carrier can leave you, not just them, liable if your waste is fly-tipped.
