One team for every kind of clearance
Not sure which service you need?
Most jobs are a mixture. A house clearance often includes the garden and the garage; a garden clearance might include an old shed and some rubble; a builder's job can involve plasterboard, timber and a bathroom suite. You do not need to pick the perfect category. Send us photos and a quick description, and we will price the whole job in one go.
The service pages below explain what each type of job involves, what we can and cannot take, what affects the price and how to prepare. They are worth a read if you want to understand the process, but the quickest way to an answer is always a WhatsApp message.
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!

Household services
For homes, the most popular services are rubbish collection, house and flat clearance, garden clearance, furniture collection and fridge and freezer disposal. Each can be booked on its own or combined in a single visit, which is usually better value.
We carry everything out ourselves, from any room, loft or garden, and sweep up afterwards.
Trade and commercial services
For builders, landlords and businesses, we offer builders waste and hardcore collection, strip-outs, end of tenancy clearances, commercial clearances and light demolition. Every commercial collection comes with a waste transfer note, and we can work out of hours by arrangement.
Regular collections can be arranged for trades and businesses that produce waste on an ongoing basis.

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.
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.
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 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.
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 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.
