Commercial clearance

Commercial clearance across Worthing and Sussex

One-off and regular clearances for offices, shops, warehouses, pubs, cafés and yards, with the paperwork your business needs.

Businesses produce waste that does not fit in the regular bins: old furniture after an office move, stock and fittings after a refit, pallets and packaging in a warehouse, broken equipment in a yard, or a backlog of rubbish that has built up behind a shop. We clear it in one visit, with minimal disruption to your trading.

We work with offices, retailers, cafés, pubs, restaurants, warehouses, workshops, care homes, schools, charities and property managers. We can work early in the morning, in the evening or at weekends by arrangement, and we plan the job around your opening hours, loading access and building rules.

Absolutely brilliant service, highly recommend. They saved me in a last minute fudge up and were an absolute delight, super quick job and great personalities, thanks lads

Every business collection comes with a waste transfer note that records the type and amount of waste and where it went, so you can show you have met your duty of care.

  • Clinical wasteRequires a dedicated clinical service.

The detail

Your duty of care as a business

Every business has a legal duty of care for the waste it produces. You must keep it safe, make sure it is only passed to an authorised carrier, and complete a waste transfer note describing it. You should keep waste transfer notes for at least two years.

We take care of the carrier side and the paperwork, so you have a clear record for every collection. If you are unsure what paperwork you need, ask us and we will explain.

Office clearances and moves

When a business moves, downsizes or refurbishes, there is often a lot of furniture and equipment that is not going to the new premises. We clear desks, chairs, filing cabinets, meeting tables, kitchen equipment and general office waste, and we can dismantle furniture on site.

IT equipment should have its data securely wiped or destroyed by a specialist before we collect it. We can then take it for WEEE recycling.

Retail, hospitality and warehouses

Shops and restaurants often need waste cleared quickly and quietly, before opening or after closing. Warehouses and workshops tend to accumulate pallets, racking, packaging and scrap. We clear it all, sort it for recycling, and leave your space swept.

If your trade waste bins are overflowing because of a one-off event or a clear-out, we can take the excess so you are not waiting for the next scheduled collection.

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

Every job is quoted individually from photos. These are the factors that make the difference:

Volume and weight

The main factors.

Material mix

Some materials cost more to dispose of.

Timing

Out-of-hours work may affect the price.

Access

Upper floors and restricted loading take longer.

Frequency

Regular collections can be priced as a package.

How to prepare

  • Tell us the type and approximate volume of waste.
  • Confirm access times, loading bays and parking arrangements.
  • Remove confidential documents and wipe data from IT equipment.
  • Label anything that is staying.
  • Tell us if the work needs to be done out of hours.
  • Let us know who will sign the waste transfer note.

Responsible disposal

Where your waste goes

Commercial waste is sorted into recyclable streams where possible and taken to licensed facilities. Every collection is recorded on a waste transfer note.

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.

Chris J SimmoGoogle review

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.

A Star customerCustomer review

Can't speak highly enough of this service. They were speedy, efficient and polite. Above all they were very reasonably priced. Thankyou so much guys I will be happy to recommend you to friends and neighbours.

Ann ArchGoogle review

Bit of a mix up with timings but once arrived the boys were quick, efficient and very thorough in their work. There was an awful lot of stuff in our garage that was not being used and we needed it clearing for selling our house.
