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.
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.
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.

FAQ's Waste Removal
Q1: How is your waste removal pricing calculated? Our pricing is based on two main factors: labour time and the weight/type of waste. We provide upfront estimates using photos you send to assess the volume and waste type. Labour is charged for a two-person team with a Luton van, and disposal fees depend on the waste’s weight and category.
Q2: What if the job takes less or more time than estimated? If the job finishes quicker than estimated, you still pay the original labour cost. If it takes longer, additional time is charged at £35 per hour. This helps us ensure fairness and consistent service quality.
Q3: How do you charge for waste disposal? Disposal fees depend on the waste type and weight, confirmed after tipping at the licensed disposal facility. We keep it simple with clear rates: General Waste (mixed or unsorted): £24 per 100kg Wood or Garden Waste (if clearly separated): £12 per 100kg POPs (upholstered items): £65 flat fee (up to 140kg) Fridges: £69 each WEEE (electrical items, separated): £180 per tonne (minimum £90 for up to 500kg)
Q4: What are POPs and why do they cost more? POPs are Persistent Organic Pollutants found in certain upholstered furniture like sofas and mattresses. Due to strict regulations on their disposal, they require specialist handling. We’re fully licensed to dispose of POPs safely and legally.
Q5: Do you accept electrical waste? Yes, but electrical waste (WEEE) must be separated for special disposal. It’s charged by weight with a minimum billing threshold of 500kg and a minimum fee of £90.
Q6: How do I get a quote? Simply send us photos of the waste via our online form or contact us directly. We’ll provide a free, no-obligation quote based on what we see.
Q7: What does your waste removal service include? Our trained two-person team will collect and load the waste using our Luton van and all necessary equipment. We transport everything to licensed recycling or disposal facilities and clean the area after removal. Same-day or next-day bookings are available, subject to availability.
Q8: Are there any hidden fees or extra charges? We provide a fixed quote upfront based on the estimated labour time and waste weight, with a detailed breakdown so you know what to expect. If the job takes longer than estimated, additional time is charged at £35 per hour. Also, the final disposal fee may vary depending on the actual weight and type of waste confirmed after tipping. We always communicate clearly and transparently about any extra charges before proceeding.
Q9: Can you handle hazardous or bulky items? We remove most bulky household items, but hazardous materials like asbestos or chemicals require specialist disposal and may be excluded. Please let us know if you have concerns so we can advise you.
