Typical 2026 prices for Sheffield, including VAT where charged. Your quote depends on the job.
How much there is, how easy it is to carry out (stairs, parking, distance to the van), and items that cost more to dispose of, such as fridges, mattresses, paint and electricals.
Anyone taking waste away must be a registered waste carrier. If an unlicensed firm fly-tips your rubbish, you can be fined. Ask for their licence number and a waste transfer note.
Sometimes. Some firms take resaleable furniture or antiques off the price. Ask for this to be written on the quote.
For a probate clearance, agree what to keep aside first and who holds the keys. For an end of tenancy, ask for a sweep-out so the landlord or agent signs it off.
