Commercial builders waste

Commercial builders waste in Worthing and across Sussex

Reliable waste removal for contractors, developers and commercial fit-out teams, with a waste transfer note every time.

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.

Every collection is documented with a waste transfer note so that your duty of care records are complete for clients and inspections.

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.

Flexible collection schedules

Book us as and when you need us, or set up a regular collection that matches the pace of the job. We can work early or late to fit around site hours and deliveries.

We collect from site compounds, loading bays and upper floors where access allows.

Advice

Keeping sites safe and compliant

Waste that builds up on site is a trip and fire hazard and a common finding in health and safety inspections. Regular removal keeps access routes clear and the site presentable for clients and neighbours, which matters on occupied and high-visibility projects.

We can tailor collections to the phases of your programme, with more frequent visits during strip-out and demolition phases and fewer during fit-out.

Good to know

Segregated waste

Segregating plasterboard, timber, metal and inert waste on site keeps disposal costs down and increases recycling. We can advise on a simple segregation set-up that works for your site.

We provide the paperwork you need for site waste records.

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.

How it works

Four simple steps from first message to a clear space.

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

We quote every job individually, usually from photos. 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 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.

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.

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 customerCustomer review

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.

Terri WebbGoogle review

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.
