Rubbish removal Brighton
Send a few photos, get a clear price, and we load it all and take it away. No skip, no tip runs, no carrying it yourself.
Rubbish removal in Brighton & Hove works the same way wherever you are in BN1, BN2 and BN3: you send a few photos, we send back a price, and our team turns up to load everything and take it away. Brighton is around eleven miles east of our Worthing base, roughly thirty minutes along the A27 or the A259 through Shoreham and Hove. That means we can usually offer a collection within days, not weeks.
We collect from homes, flats, gardens and businesses across Hove, Kemptown, Hanover, Preston Park and Seven Dials. Whether it is a few bags from a clear-out, a garage full of junk or a mixed load of furniture and garden waste, it all goes in one visit, loaded by us and taken to licensed facilities.
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.
Chris J Simmo, Google review
Most rubbish collections start with a WhatsApp message. You send a few photos of what needs to go and where it is, we reply with a price, and we agree a day. Many of our customers are collected within a day or two of first getting in touch, and our Google reviews regularly mention quick replies and next-day collections, though it always depends on the diary that week.

Local knowledge
Every town has its own quirks. These are the things that shape rubbish removal jobs in Brighton & Hove.
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.
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.
Brighton is a city of flats: top-floor conversions with narrow staircases, basement flats down steep outside steps, and modern blocks with lifts and concierge rules. We bring enough people to carry heavy items safely, dismantle furniture where needed, and protect common parts.
Every rubbish removal job in Brighton & Hove is different, but these are the items we collect most often:
The detail
On the day, we arrive in a tipper van with enough people for the job. We check with you exactly what is going and what is staying, then we carry everything out to the van. That includes items in lofts, garages, sheds, back gardens and upstairs rooms, not just what is waiting at the kerb. If something needs taking apart to get it out, such as a wardrobe or a bed frame, we dismantle it.
Once everything is loaded we sweep up, so the driveway, passage or room is left tidy. If you cannot be there, we can collect from an agreed spot and send you photos of the finished job. Payment is straightforward, and you will have a clear record of what was taken.
A skip seems simple until you add up what it involves. You need space for it, and if it goes on the road you need a permit from the highway authority. You then have to fill it yourself, stay within the rules on what can go in it, and wait for it to be collected. Meanwhile, neighbours sometimes add their own rubbish.
With a collection, you pay for the waste we take, and the loading is included. There is nothing sitting on your drive, no permit to arrange, and the job is usually done in an hour or two. For most household clear-outs that is quicker and cheaper, and several of our reviewers have said exactly that.
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 rubbish removal 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:
How much space the waste takes up in the van is the biggest factor.
Heavy materials such as rubble, soil and tiles cost more to dispose of.
Fridges, sofas, mattresses and tyres carry extra disposal costs.
Stairs, long carries and dismantling take more time.
A quick load from the drive is quicker than clearing several rooms.
Responsible disposal
Every load is taken to licensed waste transfer and recycling facilities. We separate metal, cardboard, timber, garden waste and electricals as we load so that they can be recycled, and set aside furniture and household items that are still usable where we can. Upholstered seating is kept apart for the specialist disposal it now requires.
Whoever takes your waste, check they are a registered waste carrier. Householders have a legal duty of care, and if waste you paid someone to remove is fly-tipped it can be traced back to you. We are licensed and insured, take every load to authorised facilities, and are always happy to show our credentials.

Before and after

BeforeAfterBeforeAfterSaw one of there trucks driving through Worthing, called the number today. Sent a picture of what we needed clear. They came back straight away with a price and were able to pick it all up on the same day. Really friendly team and great service. Will definitely be using this company again.
We used this company for the first time today, very responsive to messages and hard working guys. Cleared all rubbish we requested to be removed and we highly recommend them to anyone wanting a fast service, very reasonable price which saved us paying more for a skip! Will definitely be using them again.
Absolutely brilliant service, highly recommend. They saved me in a last minute fudge up and were an absolute delight, super quick job and great personalities, thanks lads
