Send a picture of the pile or tick the items on our quote page. Thirty seconds, no callback request.
Takes 30 seconds
You get a fixed price back, and the next slot we can get to you. If there turns out to be more than you described, we tell you the extra cost before we load anything, and only go ahead if you agree.
Usually under 10 minutes
We text when we set off, carry it out, sweep up, and send your waste transfer note before we’ve left the street.
Often the same afternoon
What fits
Nobody thinks in cubic yards. So here is each load size as the thing it actually looks like in the back of the van.
About eight bin bags
One yard: about a fourteenth of the load bay.
A bedroom, or a small shed
Roughly what a large car boot does in four trips.
A garage, or a 6-yard skip
Exactly what a 6-yard skip holds — for £215 instead of £230–£300, and we load it.
A whole house's worth
Two 6-yard skips, one visit, no permit.
Every price includes labour, disposal, VAT and same-day collection. Not sure which one you are? Send a photo and we’ll tell you.
Pricing
Most clearance firms make you ring up to find out what anything costs. Ours is two numbers, published, and they don’t change because of your postcode or the time of day.
We work your job out both ways and charge whichever is lower. Minimum charge £69. One cubic yard is about eight bin bags, or two wheelie bins.
For clear-outs, bagged waste and anything hard to itemise.
For one or two big things, where volume pricing would overcharge you.
Only when they apply, and always shown before you pay. Choosing a set arrival time is optional, and a few items carry a disposal charge on load bookings: see other charges.
Sofas and armchairs are POPs waste: by law they must be incinerated rather than landfilled, and the tip charges us more to take them. We pass on £10 rather than burying it in the headline price.
The alternatives
Same job, four ways of getting it done. Six cubic yards — the contents of a small garage, or what fits in a 6-yard skip.
| Comparison | MovingMoving | Other firms (typical quote) | 6-yard skip | Council bulky waste |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Typical cost | £215 | £199 (£49 + £25/yd) | £230–£300 | £25–£45, 3 items max |
| How soon | Today | Same or next day | 2–3 days to deliver | 2–3 weeks’ wait |
| Who carries it out | We do | They do | You do | You do — to the kerb |
| Permit for the road | None needed | None needed | £30–£60 from the council | None needed |
| On your drive for | About an hour | About an hour | Up to 14 days | Kerbside overnight |
| Paperwork | Transfer note same day | Digital transfer note | On request | Receipt only |
The other-firms figure is a typical quote, not a published rate. Skip and council figures vary by borough — check yours before you book anything, including us. Still want an actual skip on the drive? We can arrange that too.
Our promise
Send us a screenshot of a like-for-like quote from another licensed carrier and we’ll come in a tenth under it. No haggling, no conditions in small print.
Same-day and Sunday collections cost nothing extra. Being available is the service — we’re not going to invoice you for it. Only a set arrival time is optional and priced, and “any time” is free.
You pay the quoted price when you book — no card left on file, no invoice to settle after. List what you want taken and that's the number.
Your message goes to the crew, not a call centre or a chatbot. If we can’t fit you in today we’ll say so straight away rather than leaving you waiting.
Send it over with a photo of the job. If it’s like-for-like from a licensed carrier, we’ll beat it by 10% and still come today.
Coverage
The circle is roughly what "within about 30 miles" looks like on the ground — inside it we're usually with you the same day. Tap a pin for that area's own page.
See where we cover on a map. It loads map tiles from OpenStreetMap, which will see your IP address, so we only load it when you ask.
If you’re inside the M6 / M42 loop we’re usually with you the same day. Slightly further out, next morning. The linked areas have their own page with local prices and how we compare to that council’s bulky waste collection.
Also covering Digbeth, Bournville, Northfield, Kings Norton, Dudley, Walsall, Wolverhampton, Halesowen, Redditch, Bromsgrove — same prices, same day.
New in Birmingham
Judge us on what’s checkable instead: the price is published above, not quoted over the phone. Invent Recycling Ltd’s licence CBDU497669 is on the public register. Beat a written quote by 10% or don’t book us. The price is fixed when you book: if there’s more on the day, the driver tells you the extra before loading it, and we only take it if you agree.
First booking? Leave us a review after and you’re the reason the next person can trust one.
Before you ask
Two ways, and you pay whichever is lower: £65 call-out plus £25 per cubic yard your stuff takes up in the van, or a fixed price per item from the list on the quote page. There’s a £69 minimum charge. That’s the whole formula — it’s on the homepage, not something we work out differently over the phone.
You're charged the quoted price in full at booking, so please list what's genuinely there. If it's honestly different on the day, message us afterwards and we'll take a look — it isn't an automatic adjustment.
Same day in most of Birmingham and within about 30 miles of it if you get in touch before mid-afternoon, at no extra charge — Sundays are the normal rate too, and an “any time” arrival is free. Slightly further out, it’s usually the next morning.
Yes, any time before your slot. You're refunded in full except a small cancellation fee (25% of your total, minimum £20) — the same rule however much notice you give.
Every collection gets a waste transfer form with the carrier’s details on it, sent to you the same evening — that’s your legal protection if anything were ever fly-tipped down the line. It’s not optional or an upsell.
Yes. Every collection is carried out by Invent Recycling Ltd, registered waste carrier CBDU497669, which you can look up yourself on the government’s public register rather than take our word for it.
Almost everything from a normal house or office clearout, yes. Upholstered sofas and chairs carry a small, published disposal surcharge because the law requires them to be incinerated rather than landfilled. A handful of items — certain electricals mainly — need extra paperwork rather than a straightforward transfer note, which we handle automatically; it doesn’t change the price.
Where it actually goes
Every item gets the correct waste code (the same EWC classification a council uses), goes to the facility that matches it — a licensed WEEE site for electricals, the correct hazardous stream for upholstery and sharps — and comes back to you as a written transfer note the same day. That paperwork is your proof it was handled properly, not tipped in a field somewhere, and it's included on every job, not an upsell.
Still usable? Try a charity first. If a sofa, wardrobe or appliance still works, a local charity may collect it for free and put it straight back to use, rather than it coming to us at all — British Heart Foundation and Emmaus both run furniture donation and reuse schemes with a presence in Birmingham. We're glad to clear whatever's left afterwards.
How we charge
We charge by volume, or by the item when that comes out cheaper. That is £65 to attend plus £25 for every cubic yard, with a £69 minimum. You always pay the lower of the two.
One cubic yard (0.76 m³) is 3 ft × 3 ft × 3 ft. That is roughly two washing machines, or 8 to 10 bin bags.
Bulky items can usually be broken down to take up less room. If yours need dismantling, that is an optional £20 extra.
Heavy, dense waste such as bricks, rubble and soil is not part of our van service. For that we recommend skip hire.
What each load costs
Extra charges
These apply to a few items that need their own disposal route.
They are added to the price of your load as one flat fee per item, and you see the total before you pay.
Contact us if you have chest freezers, air conditioning units or pianos.
Stairs and awkward access take more time. Tell us when you book and the price is shown up front.
Any time on the day you choose is free. If you need us at a set time, pick it when you book.
We need somewhere to stop the van close to the property. If parking is difficult, tell us when you book so we can plan for it.
