Restricted materials to flag early

Standard household and business clearances are straightforward when the waste is described accurately. These materials should be raised before booking because they may need specialist handling or separate disposal.

AsbestosAsbestos and suspected asbestos must be handled by a specialist licensed contractor.
Hazardous chemicalsChemicals, solvents, fuels and unidentified liquids need specialist handling and should be described before collection.
Wet paint and pressurised containersPaint tins with liquid inside, gas bottles and pressurised containers may need separate disposal routes.
Clinical or sanitary wasteClinical waste, sharps and sanitary waste require specialist collection and cannot be mixed with standard clearance loads.

Before you book

Send photos of the load, note any liquids or chemicals, and explain access restrictions such as stairs, basements, controlled parking or rear-garden access. This helps the team price the collection correctly and identify any item that should not be mixed with a standard load.
