Affordable Waste Removal Prices in Leicester
At Leicester Moving Company, we believe in honest, transparent pricing — with no hidden fees or confusing charges. Our waste removal costs are based on how much rubbish you need removed and how long the job takes, making it fair for every customer, from small pick-ups to full property clearances.
At Leicester Moving Company, we keep our waste removal pricing clear, fair, and transparent. Costs are based on two factors: labour and disposal. Labour is typically charged at £40–£50 per hour, which includes a two-person professional team, van use, fuel, loading time, and full clean-up. You won’t have to lift a finger — we handle everything from start to finish. Disposal fees are separate and depend on the volume, weight, and type of waste, with general household rubbish typically costing £150–£200 per tonne at licensed waste transfer stations. Heavier items like rubble or soil may cost more due to weight limits. To give you an idea, small clearances such as a few black bags or single items start from around £60–£90. A quarter van load might cost £100–£130, half a van £140–£180, and a full van clearance could range from £250–£300+, depending on the load. Every quote is tailored to your specific needs, with no hidden fees. We’re happy to provide a quick quote via photo or visit your site if needed — and you’ll only pay for what we remove.

POPS Waste vs General Waste vs WEEE Waste: What’s the Difference?
When it comes to waste removal, it’s important to know that not all waste is the same. Different types of waste have varying costs and disposal requirements. At Leicester Moving Company, we aim to make waste removal as easy and affordable as possible. Below, we explain the differences between POPS waste, General waste, and WEEE waste to help you better understand how each type is handled and priced.
POPS Waste (Bulky & Special Items)
POPS waste, also known as Prohibited or Non-Standard Items, refers to large, bulky, and often difficult-to-dispose-of items. These include large furniture pieces like sofas, mattresses, and wardrobes, as well as other oversized household items that require special handling and often need to be dismantled.
Common POPS Items:
-
Sofas and armchairs
-
Mattresses
-
Large furniture (wardrobes, dining tables)
-
Bed frames and large home appliances
Why POPS Waste Costs More:
POPS waste typically requires more manpower to remove, specialized vehicles (like a Luton van), and additional disposal fees. This makes it more expensive than general waste or smaller items. Expect a higher fee due to the extra labour and tip fees associated with disposing of bulky furniture.
General Waste (Everyday Household Items)
General waste refers to your standard household waste: the everyday items we all throw away. This can include food packaging, newspapers, household waste, and smaller, non-hazardous items.
Common General Waste Items:
-
Packaging (cardboard, plastic)
-
Household trash (bottles, cans, paper)
-
Old clothes and shoes
-
Small furniture and items in disrepair
Why General Waste Costs Less:
General waste is easier to handle compared to bulky POPS items. It typically fits into regular collection vehicles and doesn’t require any special handling, which is why the removal costs are lower. Pricing is typically based on the amount of waste (in kg or cubic metres) and whether or not the waste needs sorting.
WEEE Waste (Electrical & Electronic Equipment)
WEEE stands for Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment. This type of waste includes electronic goods and electrical appliances that have reached the end of their useful life and are no longer functioning or needed.
Common WEEE Waste Items:
-
Old televisions
-
Broken computers, laptops, and phones
-
Kitchen appliances (fridges, microwaves)
-
Washing machines and dryers
-
Small electronic devices (radios, toasters, etc.)
Why WEEE Waste Requires Special Attention:
WEEE waste is often regulated because it can contain hazardous substances like lead, mercury, and cadmium. It requires specialised disposal methods and often needs to be recycled in accordance with environmental regulations. This makes WEEE disposal more expensive than general waste. Transportation fees and recycling charges can also add to the overall cost.
Pricing Considerations
-
POPS Waste: Charges for POPS waste are typically higher due to the size of the items, the special handling required, and tip fees. For example, removing a sofa may cost £80 - £150, depending on the size, location, and whether the sofa needs to be dismantled for easier removal.
-
General Waste: The cost for general waste removal depends on how much waste there is (measured in cubic metres or weight) and whether it needs sorting. For a standard household load, expect to pay between £40 - £100.
-
WEEE Waste: Electrical items, such as old fridges or washing machines, typically cost between £40 - £120 to remove, depending on the size and disposal regulations. Some WEEE items may also require specialised recycling services, which may increase the cost.
