Really good service. Competitive price and left the site clear. I liked the good communication e.g. pictures of the finished job as I couldn't be at home as I was working. Great job and I would use them again.
A Star customer, Customer review
We collect sofas, armchairs, beds, mattresses, wardrobes, chests of drawers, dining tables and chairs, desks, bookcases and garden furniture, from single items to a whole house full. Several of our customers first contacted us about one sofa and ended up clearing half the garage too, because it was easier to do it all at once.

Local knowledge
Every town has its own quirks. These are the things that shape furniture collection jobs in Littlehampton.
Littlehampton's converted flats and riverside blocks often involve stairs, tight landings and communal areas. We bring enough people to carry heavy items safely and protect communal floors and walls where the building requires it.
The streets between the station, the high street and the seafront are dominated by Victorian and Edwardian terraces, many converted into flats. Beach Town has larger villas and seafront houses, while Wick, Toddington and the northern estates are mostly post-war semis and terraces. Riverside developments near the harbour add a newer layer of apartments. Each property type needs a different approach, and we plan for it at the quoting stage.
Arun District Council provides household bin collections, a chargeable bulky waste service and a garden waste subscription, and the county council runs the household waste recycling sites. For a large or mixed clearance, or when items need carrying out of the property, a single visit from us is usually simpler.
Littlehampton has a large private rented sector, and letting agents and landlords use us to clear flats and houses between tenancies, often at short notice. We remove abandoned furniture, bags and white goods so the property is ready for cleaning and inspection.
Every furniture collection job in Littlehampton is different, but these are the items we collect most often:
Specialist services
As part of our furniture collection service in Littlehampton, we also provide:
Sofas are big, heavy and surprisingly hard to get rid of. Charity shops need fire labels, the council's bulky collection might be weeks away, and since the end of 2022 the rules on disposing of upholstered seating have changed.
Getting an old bed out of a bedroom is rarely as easy as getting it in. Divan bases are heavy, bed frames need dismantling, and headboards and bunk beds are awkward on the stairs.
Mattresses are one of the most fly-tipped items in the country because they are bulky and awkward to dispose of. We collect them from your bedroom, carry them out and take them to facilities where springs, foam and fabric can be separated for recycling where available.
The detail
Since the end of 2022, the Environment Agency has required waste upholstered domestic seating, such as sofas, sofa beds, armchairs, upholstered stools and office chairs, to be treated as containing persistent organic pollutants (POPs). These chemicals were used in older flame retardants and foams, and they must be destroyed rather than landfilled or recycled with other waste.
In practice, that means sofas and armchairs are kept separate from other waste and sent for incineration at permitted facilities. It is one reason sofa disposal costs more than it used to, and why you should be cautious of anyone offering to take a sofa away very cheaply.
Furniture that came in flat-packed often will not come out in one piece, and some sofas were delivered before a staircase was changed. We dismantle wardrobes, beds, bunk beds, desks and shelving as needed, and we carry sofas down stairs and through tight doorways without damaging walls or banisters.
Please let us know about stairs, narrow landings and lifts when you send photos, so we bring the right tools and enough people.
Littlehampton is about eight miles west of our Worthing base, roughly twenty minutes via the A259 through Goring, Ferring and Rustington. Here is how a typical furniture collection job in Littlehampton 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:
A single armchair costs less than a three-piece suite.
Sofas and armchairs have higher disposal costs.
Priced individually for recycling.
Time taken to break down items.
Stairs and tight corners.
Responsible disposal
Upholstered seating is kept separate and sent for incineration under the POPs rules. Mattresses go to specialist recycling where available, timber and metal furniture is recycled, and reusable items are set aside wherever possible.
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.

BeforeAfterBeforeAfterSuper helpful! I sent a message on WhatsApp on the weekend and got a reply the same day with a price. They came and collected 2 days later and all was left clean and tidy. Really efficient. Would highly recommend.
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.
Collected the day following my initial message. Arrived in the morning and everything removed quickly and left tidy. Reasonable price too - excellent job! Thank you.
Can't speak highly enough of this service. They were speedy, efficient and polite. Above all they were very reasonably priced. Thankyou so much guys I will be happy to recommend you to friends and neighbours.
Fantastic service I highly recommend them, took a shed down yesterday rang them last night they were here first thing this morning to take it away along with other garden waste. Highly competitive rates but they don't cut corners. They swept and tidied up after themselves as well, I'll definitely use A Star in all my future jobs. Thank you.
