Waste clearance Worthing
Local waste clearance in Worthing
When there is more than a few bags, we clear the lot: mixed household, garden and commercial waste, loaded, sorted and taken to licensed facilities.
Our waste clearance service covers the whole of Worthing, from small mixed loads to complete property and commercial clearances. We are based in Worthing, so most jobs in the borough are a few minutes from the yard.
In Worthing, we regularly clear homes, gardens, garages and business premises across Worthing town centre, Broadwater, Tarring, West Tarring and Goring-by-Sea. We sort everything as we load, recycle as much as we can, and take the rest to licensed facilities, so you can be confident your waste has been handled properly.
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 built for mixed waste. We load general rubbish, bulky furniture, electricals, garden waste and light building waste together, sorting as we go so that recyclable materials are kept separate. For larger clearances we bring extra hands or a second van, so the job gets done in a day rather than dragging on.

Local knowledge
Waste clearance in Worthing: what we know locally
Every town has its own quirks. These are the things that shape waste clearance 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.
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.
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.
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.

The detail
How we plan a larger clearance
For a bigger job, the planning matters as much as the lifting. We look at how much waste there is, what it is made of, how far it has to be carried, and whether anything needs dismantling. That tells us how many people and vans we need and how long it will take.
We also ask what needs to stay. On house clearances in particular, it is common for families to want certain items kept, donated or set aside for checking. We work around that, and we would always rather ask twice than take something you wanted to keep.
Sorting and recycling as we go
Mixed waste is sorted into its main streams as it is loaded: metal, cardboard and paper, timber, green waste, electricals, rubble and general waste. Separating it at the point of collection means more of it can be recycled at the transfer station and less goes to landfill.
Electrical items are taken for proper WEEE recycling, fridges and freezers go to facilities that remove refrigerant gases safely, and upholstered sofas and armchairs are kept apart because they now require specialist disposal. Reusable furniture and household items are set aside where possible.
How waste clearance 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 waste clearance 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 waste clearance in Worthing
We quote every job individually from photos, so you know the cost before we arrive. The main factors are:
Total volume
Measured roughly in van loads, based on your photos or a visit.
Material mix
Heavy inert waste and specialist items cost more to dispose of.
Labour and access
More stairs, longer carries and more dismantling mean more time.
Number of vans and people
Larger jobs may need extra hands to finish in a day.
Deadlines
We will always try to meet your date; very tight turnarounds may need extra resource.
How to prepare
Tell us everything that needs to go, including lofts, sheds and outbuildings, so the quote covers it all.
Set aside or label anything you want to keep, donate or check before it goes.
Remove valuables, important paperwork and personal documents first.
Let us know about access: stairs, narrow doors, long drives or restricted parking.
If a property is being sold or let, give us the deadline so we can plan backwards from it.
For commercial jobs, tell us about working hours, security and site rules.
Responsible disposal
Where your Worthing waste goes
All waste is taken to licensed transfer stations and recycling facilities. We sort as we load, so metal, timber, cardboard, green waste and electricals can be recycled, and we keep reusable items out of the waste stream wherever we can. Business customers receive a waste transfer note for their records.
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.
HHannah FielderGoogle review
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.

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.

Yes. We clear whole houses, flats and business premises in Worthing, usually in a single day. For very full properties we bring extra hands or a second van.
Where does waste collected in Worthing go?
It goes to licensed transfer stations and recycling facilities, where metal, timber, cardboard, green waste and electricals are separated for recycling.
Do Worthing businesses get a waste transfer note?
Yes. Every commercial collection in Worthing comes with a waste transfer note for your duty of care records.
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.
What is the difference between waste clearance and rubbish collection?
Rubbish collection is usually a straightforward pick-up of bags and items. Waste clearance covers bigger jobs, such as emptying a whole property, garage, garden or business premises, often with a mix of materials and more planning.
Can you clear a whole house in one day?
Most homes can be cleared in a day, sometimes with two vans. Very full properties can take longer, and we will tell you what to expect when we quote.
Do you recycle the waste?
Yes. We separate recyclable materials as we load and take everything to licensed facilities that recycle as much as possible.
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.
