Rubbish removal Worthing
Local rubbish removal in Worthing
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 Worthing works the same way wherever you are in BN11, BN12, BN13 and BN14: you send a few photos, we send back a price, and our team turns up to load everything and take it away. We are based in Worthing, so most jobs in the borough are a few minutes from the yard. That means we can usually offer a collection within days, not weeks.
We collect from homes, flats, gardens and businesses across Worthing town centre, Broadwater, Tarring, West Tarring and Goring-by-Sea. 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.
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
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
Rubbish removal in Worthing: what we know locally
Every town has its own quirks. These are the things that shape rubbish removal jobs in Worthing.
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.
Council services and us
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.
Flats and apartments
Worthing has a large number of purpose-built blocks along Marine Parade and West Parade, retirement developments across the borough, and converted flats above shops in the town centre. Clearing these usually means lifts that are too small for a sofa, communal stairwells that must be kept clear, and managing agents who want the work done quietly and within set hours. We plan for all of that before we arrive.
What we take in Worthing
Every rubbish removal job in Worthing is different, but these are the items we collect most often:
Black bags and loose household rubbishThe results of a clear-out, spring clean or house move.
Bulky itemsChairs, tables, wardrobes, bed frames, mirrors and rugs.
Sofas and armchairsHandled separately because of the rules on upholstered seating.
MattressesSingle, double and king-size, including divans and toppers.
Electricals and white goodsTVs, microwaves, washing machines, fridges and freezers.
Garden wasteCuttings, branches, turf, pots and old garden furniture.
Cardboard and packagingBoxes from a move or a delivery, flattened or not.
Light DIY wasteOld carpets, doors, timber, tiles and bagged rubble.
Garage and shed junkBikes, tools, toys, paint tins (dried out) and storage boxes.
Toys, books and bric-a-bracWe set reusable items aside where possible.
Metal and scrapOld radiators, shelving, pipes and garden furniture.
Mixed loadsMost collections are a mixture, and that is fine.
Needs a specialist or special handling
AsbestosMust be removed by a licensed specialist. We cannot take it.
Gas bottles and fire extinguishersReturn to the supplier or use a specialist route.
Liquid paint, oils and chemicalsNot accepted in general loads; dried-out tins are fine.
Clinical and medical wasteNeeds a specialist clinical waste service.
Tyres and car batteriesAsk us first, as these go through separate channels.
The detail
What a rubbish collection actually involves
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.
Why people choose a man-and-van collection over a skip
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.
How rubbish removal in Worthing works
We are based in Worthing, so most jobs in the borough are a few minutes from the yard. Here is how a typical rubbish removal job in Worthing works:
1
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
Get a clear price
We reply with a fixed quote based on what we can see. No hidden extras, no pressure, and no obligation to book.
3
We load and sweep
Our team arrives on the agreed day, carries everything out, loads the van and sweeps up behind us.
4
Responsible disposal
Waste goes to licensed facilities to be sorted and recycled where possible. Businesses get a waste transfer note.
What affects the price of rubbish removal in Worthing
We quote every job individually from photos, so you know the cost before we arrive. The main factors are:
Volume
How much space the waste takes up in the van is the biggest factor.
Weight
Heavy materials such as rubble, soil and tiles cost more to dispose of.
Item types
Fridges, sofas, mattresses and tyres carry extra disposal costs.
Access and labour
Stairs, long carries and dismantling take more time.
Time on site
A quick load from the drive is quicker than clearing several rooms.
How to prepare
Group the rubbish together if you can, but do not worry if it is spread around the house or garden. We will collect it from where it is.
Tell us about stairs, lifts, narrow passages or a long walk from the road when you send photos.
Mark anything that is staying, and keep valuables, paperwork and keys out of the way.
Let us know if any sofas or armchairs are included, as they need separate disposal.
Check parking: if your street has permit bays, tell us so we can plan where to load.
If you will not be home, tell us where the rubbish is and how we can access it.
Responsible disposal
Where your Worthing waste goes
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.

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.

Arranged via WhatsApp, great pricing and all rubbish cleared professionally and efficiently. Staff were friendly and polite. Highly recommended, much cheaper than getting a skip and loading it yourself.

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.
AA Star customerCustomer review
A Star Waste Management provided a prompt and straightforward service from start to finish. Communication was clear, collection was arranged at a convenient time, and the waste was removed efficiently with no mess left behind. Polite, professional, and easy to deal with.
We cover Worthing every week. We are based in Worthing, so most jobs in the borough are a few minutes from the yard. Send photos on WhatsApp and we will offer the earliest slot we have, which is often within a day or two.
Do you collect rubbish from inside Worthing homes, not just the kerb?
Yes. We collect from any room, loft, garage, shed or garden in Worthing, and carry everything out to the van ourselves.
Is your service better value than the Adur & Worthing Councils bulky waste collection?
For one or two items the council service can be cheaper. For mixed loads, several items or anything that needs carrying out of the property, a single visit from us is usually quicker and better value.
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.
How much does rubbish removal cost?
It depends on how much there is, how heavy it is, and how easy it is to reach. The quickest way to get an exact price is to send us a few photos on WhatsApp. We give a clear quote before we start, with no hidden extras on the day.
How quickly can you collect?
We often collect within a day or two, and sometimes the same day, but it depends on the diary. Tell us how urgent it is and we will give you our earliest slot.
Do I need to bag everything up?
No. Bagging loose items helps, but we will load loose rubbish, bulky items and mixed waste as it is.
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.
