A little planning makes rubbish removal quicker, safer and easier to price. Use this guide to prepare, then ask the collection team about anything unusual.

Record what has been left

Take dated photos and follow the correct tenancy process before removing belongings. Keep anything that may be needed as evidence.

Book the clearance in the right order

Arrange rubbish removal before the deep clean and most repair work. This gives cleaners and trades clear access to the rooms.

Share keys and parking information

If you cannot attend, agree key collection and clear instructions in advance. Ask for completion photos when you need proof that the property has been cleared.
