Our builders waste clearance service is used by homeowners doing their own renovations and by builders, plumbers, kitchen fitters, electricians and landscapers who need waste moving quickly. Our tipper vans are designed for heavy loads, and we do the loading ourselves, straight from where the waste has been stacked.

Local knowledge
Every town has its own quirks. These are the things that shape builders waste clearance jobs in Brighton & Hove.
Renovation is constant in Brighton and Hove, from basement conversions to loft rooms and full townhouse refurbishments. Skips need a permit from the city council to go on the road and take up valuable parking, so a van collection of rubble, plasterboard and timber is often the easier route.
Much of central Brighton and Hove is made up of Regency and Victorian townhouses that have been converted into flats, often with four or five floors and no lift. Hanover and Elm Grove are packed with steep terraced streets, while Patcham, Withdean, Hangleton and Westdene are mainly inter-war and post-war semis and bungalows. Understanding the building is the key to pricing a Brighton clearance accurately.
Most of central Brighton and Hove is covered by controlled parking zones, and many streets are narrow, steep or one-way. We plan the loading point before we arrive, and in some cases we will ask you to arrange a visitor permit or parking suspension. It is one of the reasons we always want to see the route to the road when quoting.
The city's shops, restaurants, offices and creative studios generate a lot of commercial waste, from shop refits in the North Laine to office moves near the station and back-of-house clear-outs in the hospitality trade. We provide waste transfer notes for every business collection.
Every builders waste clearance job in Brighton & Hove is different, but these are the items we collect most often:
Specialist services
As part of our builders waste service in Brighton & Hove, we also provide:
Home renovations create waste at every stage: stripped-out kitchens and bathrooms, knocked-through walls, old floorboards, plasterboard, tiles and packaging. We collect it from your home so that your project can keep moving.
On commercial sites, waste that is not removed quickly becomes a safety hazard and a cost. We provide one-off and regular collections for builders, developers, fit-out contractors and facilities managers, loading waste ourselves and keeping your site clear.
Plasterboard is one of the most common renovation wastes, and one of the most awkward. Because gypsum can produce hydrogen sulphide gas when it breaks down with biodegradable waste, it must not be landfilled with general waste. Many skip companies charge extra for it or refuse mixed loads.
The detail
Plasterboard and other gypsum-based waste must not be mixed with general waste going to landfill, because when gypsum breaks down with biodegradable waste it can produce hydrogen sulphide gas. That is why many skip firms charge extra or refuse mixed loads containing plasterboard.
We handle it properly. If you can keep plasterboard offcuts in a separate pile or bag, it makes the job quicker and cheaper, but we can separate it on site if needed. It is then taken for gypsum recycling.
Rubble, bricks, concrete, soil and tiles are heavy. A van reaches its legal weight limit long before it is full by volume, so heavy waste is priced differently from lighter mixed waste. If your job is mostly rubble, soil or hardcore, see our hardcore collection service.
Tell us roughly what the waste is made of when you send photos, and we will bring the right vehicle and give you an accurate price.
Brighton is around eleven miles east of our Worthing base, roughly thirty minutes along the A27 or the A259 through Shoreham and Hove. Here is how a typical builders waste clearance job in Brighton & Hove works:
WhatsApp a few pictures of the waste and the route to the road, or call 01903 962 492. Tell us your postcode and when suits you.
We reply with a fixed quote based on what we can see. No hidden extras, no pressure, and no obligation to book.
Our team arrives on the agreed day, carries everything out, loads the van and sweeps up behind us.
Waste goes to licensed facilities to be sorted and recycled where possible. Businesses get a waste transfer note.
We quote every job individually from photos, so you know the cost before we arrive. The main factors are:
Rubble, concrete and soil are priced by weight as much as by volume.
Lighter mixed waste is priced by how much van space it uses.
Separated gypsum waste has its own disposal cost.
Waste that is bagged and stacked is quicker to load.
Regular collections for trades can be priced as a package.
Responsible disposal
Builders waste is separated into inert waste (rubble, brick, concrete and soil), gypsum (plasterboard), timber, metal and general waste, then taken to the appropriate licensed facilities. Inert waste is often crushed and reused as aggregate, timber is recycled where possible, and metal is recycled.
Brighton & Hove City Council offers a chargeable bulky waste collection and runs household waste recycling sites at Hollingdean and Wilson Avenue. These are fine for the occasional item. For multiple items, mixed rubbish or anything that needs carrying down several flights of stairs, a single visit from us is usually quicker and better value.

Before and after

BeforeAfterBeforeAfterQuoted a good price for some hardcore removal after breaking up a pathway. A Star came and removed the waste the next day. The lads were polite and got the job done quickly. Highly recommend.
Swift and efficient waste removal. Quick response from the team. Quoted the job from the photos I sent. They kept in communication with us, so we weren't hanging around. The guys worked quickly to clear the area, they were very professional. I highly recommend their service.
A Star Waste Management did a great job clearing a big pile of old decking from my garden. They were efficient, reasonably priced and the men were polite and respectful, and were mindful not to damage any of my plants. Would definitely use their service again.
A Star are absolutely brilliant. Turn up when they say they will, are professional, friendly and helpful. And stick to their very reasonable quotes and would certainly use them in the future. Thank you A Star.
Just used A Star Waste Management and the service was fantastic. The chap was extremely polite and efficient and I would certainly use this company again and recommend them whenever I can.
