Your options in Newham
- Council bulky waste collection. Your council can collect large household items. Check its website for the current rules, any charges and how long you may wait for a date.
- Reuse or charity collection. Good furniture in working order can sometimes be taken by a charity. Check first, as they do not take everything.
- A licensed private collector. Useful when you need the job done the same day, when items are too many for the council, or when you are clearing a whole flat or shop.
- A skip. If a skip goes on the public road, you will usually need a permit from the council first. Many Newham streets are busy, so check before you order one.
What to check before you book
- Ask for the collector’s waste carrier registration number and check it on the official GOV.UK register.
- Send a photo of everything you want removed, plus your postcode. A clear photo means a fair quote and fewer surprises on the day.
- Ask for a receipt that shows what was collected and where it went.
Flats and estates
Many Newham flats have shared bin stores, lifts that must be booked, or loading times set by the managing agent. Tell us the building and the floor when you book. If you are a landlord or agent, send the building’s rules with your request so we can plan the visit.
Gardens, sheds and builders’ waste
Garden clearances in Forest Gate, Manor Park and East Ham often include old sheds, fencing, turf and bagged green waste. Builders’ waste such as plasterboard and rubble needs its own handling, so say what it is when you book.
Shops and offices in Stratford and the Royal Docks
Shop clear-outs and office moves need planning around opening hours and deliveries. We can work early, late or at weekends where our diary allows, so tell us your times when you call.
