Building and renovation
Extensions and loft conversions on Southwick's 1930s semis generate plenty of building waste. We collect it quickly so the trades are not working around piles of rubble and plasterboard.

Hardcore removal Southwick
Local hardcore removal in Southwick
Rubble, concrete, bricks, soil, paving and stone collected by tipper van, without a skip on your drive.
Hardcore and rubble removal in Southwick is one of our most requested heavy-waste services. Southwick is around seven and a half miles east of our Worthing base, roughly twenty minutes along the A259 or A27. We collect concrete, bricks, soil and paving from gardens, driveways and building sites across Southwick Green, Southwick Square, Kingston Buci, Fishersgate and Eastbrook.
Our tipper vans take heavy loads within safe weight limits, and clean inert waste from Southwick jobs is sent for crushing and recycling into aggregate rather than landfill.
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.
A Star customer, Customer review
Our tipper vans are designed for exactly this kind of load. We shovel, barrow and bag the hardcore ourselves, load it safely within the van's weight limits, and tip it at facilities where inert waste is crushed and recycled into aggregate for reuse.

Local knowledge
Hardcore removal in Southwick: what we know locally
Every town has its own quirks. These are the things that shape hardcore removal jobs in Southwick.
Southwick gardens
The houses on the slopes towards Southwick Hill often have steep, stepped gardens, so clearing them means carrying waste up or down steps to the road. We allow for this when we quote. Mature hedges, old sheds and overgrown lawns are the most common garden jobs we see here.
Parking and access
Most of Southwick has on-street parking without permits, but the roads around the Green and the Square can be busy, and some hillside roads are steep. We choose a loading spot that keeps carry distances short and does not block neighbours.
Homes in Southwick
Southwick's older properties are grouped around the Green and the streets leading off it, with cottages and period houses that have narrow hallways and tight staircases. Moving away from the centre, the roads towards Southwick Hill and the Downs are lined with 1930s semis and detached houses, many with garages and generous gardens. Fishersgate and the streets near the harbour have terraces and more recent housing.
What we take in Southwick

The detail
Why weight matters more than volume
A van can only carry a certain weight legally, and hardcore hits that limit quickly. A bulk bag of broken concrete can weigh close to a tonne, and a pile of soil that looks small can take several trips. That is why hardcore is priced differently from general rubbish, and why it helps to tell us what the material is and roughly how much there is.
Clear photos with something for scale, such as a door, a wheelbarrow or a bulk bag, let us give you an accurate price and bring enough vans.
Clean inert waste is recycled
Clean hardcore, meaning concrete, brick, stone and rubble without timber, plastic or plasterboard mixed in, can be crushed and screened into recycled aggregate. That is why keeping hardcore separate from other waste matters: it keeps disposal costs down and makes recycling possible.
Soil is handled in the same way if it is clean. Soil mixed with rubble, roots or rubbish is still accepted, but may cost more to dispose of.

What affects the price of hardcore removal in Southwick
We quote every job individually from photos, so you know the cost before we arrive. The main factors are:
Weight
The main factor for hardcore.
Material
Clean inert waste is cheaper to dispose of than mixed.
Loading effort
Loose rubble needs shovelling; bagged waste is quicker.
Access
Barrowing from the back garden takes longer.
Number of trips
Large quantities may need more than one van load.
How to prepare
- Keep hardcore separate from wood, plastic and plasterboard.
- Pile it as close to the road or drive as possible.
- Send photos with something for scale so we can estimate weight.
- Tell us the material: concrete, brick, soil, tiles or a mix.
- Let us know if it needs barrowing from the back garden.
- Clear a space on the drive for the van if you can.
Responsible disposal
Where your Southwick waste goes
Clean hardcore is taken to facilities where it is crushed and screened into recycled aggregate. Soil is recovered where possible. Mixed loads are sorted at licensed transfer stations.
Southwick is part of Adur district, so bins, bulky waste collections and garden waste bins are handled by Adur & Worthing Councils. The council service suits a single item; we are the better fit when there is a lot to clear, or when it all needs carrying out of the house.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

Can't see your question? Call 01903 962 492 or message us on WhatsApp.
Can you remove soil from a garden project in Southwick?

Often within a few days, and sometimes the next day. Southwick is around seven and a half miles east of our Worthing base, roughly twenty minutes along the A259 or A27.
Do you need a skip permit for hardcore in Southwick?
No. We load hardcore straight into our tipper van, so nothing sits on the road and no permit from West Sussex County Council is needed.
Do you cover Fishersgate and Kingston Buci?
Yes. We cover the whole of Southwick, including Fishersgate, Kingston Buci, Eastbrook and the roads up towards Southwick Hill.

What counts as hardcore?
Concrete, bricks, blocks, rubble, stone, paving, tiles and similar inert materials. Soil is often collected alongside it.
