Jordan organized his crew to come and clear a mountain of rubbish from my back garden. A well overdue clearance all soggy and disintegrated and included a dead rat within..yuk. The lads did an amazing job. They were polite and courteous and worked flat out in the pouring rain. I can highly recommend them and will be using them again. I probably won't leave it so long next time though!

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
Builders waste clearance in Worthing: what we know locally
Every town has its own quirks. These are the things that shape builders waste clearance jobs in Worthing.
Building and renovation
There is a lot of renovation going on in Worthing's older housing stock. Kitchens and bathrooms are being refitted in 1930s semis, loft conversions are common in Goring and Tarring, and seafront flats are regularly updated. That produces plasterboard, tile rubble, old units and timber that need moving quickly so the trades can carry on.
Homes in Worthing
Worthing's housing changes every mile or so. The streets around the town centre and Heene are dense Victorian and Edwardian terraces, many split into flats. Goring, Durrington and Salvington are dominated by 1930s semis and post-war bungalows with long rear gardens, while Offington, Charmandean and Findon Valley have larger detached homes. Knowing the property type lets us quote accurately from photos, because the access from a Heene conversion is a different job to a drive-up bungalow in Goring.
Parking and access
Parking is the thing that most often slows a Worthing clearance. Much of the town centre and the streets near the seafront sit inside controlled parking zones with resident permit bays, and many terraces have no off-street space at all. We park as close as the rules allow, keep carry distances short, and if your road is permit-only we will talk through the best loading spot when we quote.
Local businesses
Worthing's shops, cafés and offices along Montague Street, Chapel Road and South Street, and the trade and industrial units around the edge of town, generate a steady stream of commercial clearances: shop refits, office moves, stock clear-outs and overflowing back-of-house bins. For businesses we provide the paperwork the duty of care requires so you can show where your waste went.

Residential builders waste
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.
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.
Heavy waste and weight limits
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.

We are based in Worthing, so most jobs in the borough are a few minutes from the yard. Here is how a typical builders waste clearance job in Worthing works:

Send us photos
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.
2

We reply with a fixed quote based on what we can see. No hidden extras, no pressure, and no obligation to book.
3

Our team arrives on the agreed day, carries everything out, loads the van and sweeps up behind us.

What affects the price of builders waste clearance in Worthing
We quote every job individually from photos, so you know the cost before we arrive. The main factors are:
Weight
Rubble, concrete and soil are priced by weight as much as by volume.
Volume
Lighter mixed waste is priced by how much van space it uses.
Plasterboard
Separated gypsum waste has its own disposal cost.
Loading
Waste that is bagged and stacked is quicker to load.
Frequency
Regular collections for trades can be priced as a package.
How to prepare
Stack waste in one area with clear access to the road or drive.
Keep plasterboard separate from other waste if you can.
Bag small rubble and tile waste to make loading quicker.
Tell us roughly how much is rubble, soil or concrete, as it affects the price.
Let us know about scaffolding, restricted parking or site rules.
Flag anything you think might contain asbestos before we arrive.
Responsible disposal
Where your Worthing waste goes
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.
Adur & Worthing Councils run a chargeable bulky waste collection and a paid garden waste bin service, and West Sussex County Council runs the household recycling centres. Those are good options for the odd item, but they come with waiting times, item limits and rules on vans and DIY waste. We are the alternative when you want everything gone in one visit, loaded for you, on a day that suits you.

Saw 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.

Quoted 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.

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 skip placed on the road in Worthing needs a permit from West Sussex County Council. A van collection avoids that altogether, because nothing is left on the highway.
Can you collect builders waste from a Worthing site every week?
Yes. We offer regular collections for builders and trades working in Worthing, so waste never builds up.
Do you take plasterboard from Worthing renovations?
Yes. Keep it separate from other waste if you can, and we will take it for gypsum recycling.
How quickly can you collect rubbish in Worthing?
Worthing is our home patch, so it is where we are most likely to fit in short-notice work. Send photos on WhatsApp or call 01903 962 492 and we will give you the earliest slot we have. Next-day collections are often possible, but it depends on the diary that week.
Do you cover all Worthing postcodes?
Yes. We cover BN11, BN12, BN13 and BN14, which takes in the town centre, Heene, Broadwater, Tarring, Goring-by-Sea, Durrington, Salvington, Findon Valley, Offington and East Worthing, along with Sompting and Ferring on the borough edge.
Do you take plasterboard?
Yes, but it must be kept separate from other waste. Bagging it separately makes the job quicker.
Is it cheaper than a skip?
For many jobs, yes. There is no permit fee, no waiting time, and you do not have to load it yourself.
Can you collect during the job, not just at the end?
Yes. Many builders book regular collections so the site stays clear.
WhatsApp a few pictures of what needs to go and the route to the road. We reply with a clear, fixed quote, usually the same working day, and collections are often possible within a day or two.
