The short version
- Rubbish removal from £95, priced by how much of the van you fill. A full Luton is £495, with labour and disposal included.
- House clearances from £195 for a single room, up to £850 for a full house, at a fixed price from photos.
- We take what the tips won’t. Langley is closed until 2027, and Chalvey takes no vans, sofas or textiles right now.
- No skip, no permit, no suspension. We park only while we load, usually the same or the next day.
Why getting rid of rubbish in Slough is harder this winter
Slough Borough Council lists three recycling centres for its residents. Right now, each one comes with a catch:
| Site | Status for Slough residents | The catch |
|---|---|---|
| Langley, SL3 6DD | Closed since 9 September 2026 | Drainage works. The council expects it back before Easter 2027 |
| Chalvey, SL1 2SF | Open daily, 9am–5pm in winter | No vans or pickups, a 1.7m height barrier, and no sofas, upholstered seating or textiles for now |
| Burnham, SL2 3TG | Open 7 days while Langley is shut, 9am–4pm in winter | Six unloading spaces taking most of Langley’s visitors, and a van needs a Bucks e-permit first |
So a car-load of bags is still a free trip to Chalvey. But a sofa, a van-load from a clear-out, or anything you cannot lift yourself now means a drive to Burnham with a permit, a weekday wait for the Chalvey weighbridge, or a collection.
Your options in Slough, compared honestly
| Option | Cost | Best for | Watch out for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chalvey tip yourself | Free for household waste | Car-loads you can lift | No vans, no sofas, no textiles. Bring proof of address and photo ID |
| Slough council bulky collection | £19 an item, £54 minimum, up to 5 items. Fridges £29.70 each, up to 2 | Three to five large items at the kerb | One item costs £54, the same as two. You carry everything to the kerb, on the council’s date |
| A skip | Hire plus a council permit if it goes on the road | Long renovations with heavy rubble | Permits are issued only to registered skip firms, for 14 days at a time |
| Van Thats Quick | From £95, a full Luton £495 | Furniture, clear-outs, anything upstairs, same-day jobs | Sofas and mattresses carry a published disposal fee |
If Chalvey or the council collection suits your job, use them. They are cheaper than us for the right load. We are the better option when the load is big, awkward, upstairs, upholstered or urgent.
Rubbish removal in Slough: what we take
Bagged household rubbish, old furniture and beds, mattresses, white goods, carpet and flooring, garden waste, cardboard, DIY and light renovation waste, and the loft, shed and garage build-up most clear-outs turn into. We carry it out from wherever it is: a top-floor flat near the station, a Cippenham back garden, a Langley loft or a lock-up in Britwell. You point at it and we load it.
| Load | About | Fixed price |
|---|---|---|
| Minimum load | 1.5 cu yd, a few bags or one small item | £95 |
| Quarter van | 7 cu yd, a small clear-out | £195 |
| Half van | 14 cu yd, a bedroom or garage | £320 |
| Three-quarter van | 18 cu yd | £405 |
| Full Luton | 22.7 cu yd, a flat’s worth | £495 |
Sofas and mattresses are priced per piece because by law they go down a more expensive disposal route: an armchair from £65, a mattress from £75 and a three-seater sofa from £105. The full list is on our price page. We cannot carry asbestos, chemicals, gas bottles or tyres, but we will tell you where they can go.
House clearance in Slough
For a whole property (an end of tenancy, a downsizing, a family home after a death) we clear room by room at a fixed price agreed before the day. You give us a keep list, we set those things aside, and we keep watch for paperwork and small valuables as we go.
| Property | From |
|---|---|
| Single room | £195 |
| One-bed flat | £395 |
| Two-bed home | £595 |
| Full house | £850 |
Clearing a relative’s home? Our probate house clearance service explains how we work with executors, solicitors and estate agents, including key collection when you cannot be there.
Landlords: the tip will not take it free
Buckinghamshire’s access policy treats waste cleared from a rented-out property, by or for the landlord, as commercial waste, so it is not covered by free resident access at Burnham or Langley. We clear between tenancies across Slough and can provide waste transfer paperwork on request.
Where we work in Slough, and how we handle access
We cover the whole of Slough every week: SL1 (the town centre, Chalvey, Cippenham, Upton and Britwell), SL2 (Wexham and Farnham Royal) and SL3 (Langley, Colnbrook and Poyle), plus the Slough Trading Estate. We also work in neighbouring Burnham, Iver, Stoke Poges, Farnham Common and Datchet.
In Slough, access usually shapes a collection more than the rubbish does. The permit-only residential streets around the station and Chalvey, the loading restrictions along the A4 Bath Road, and the controlled bays near the Queensmere and Observatory shopping centres all need a plan before we arrive. Tell us the address and the floor when you book, and we will work out where to stop. You will not need a skip licence or a bay suspension, because we park only while we load.
For bin days and missed collections, see our Slough waste collection guide. If you are moving rather than clearing, our Slough man and van page covers removals.

Rubbish removal and house clearance in Slough: your questions answered
How much does rubbish removal cost in Slough?
It is priced by how much of our Luton van your rubbish fills, including labour and disposal: from £95 for a small load, £195 for a quarter van, £320 for a half and £495 for a full Luton. Send a photo on WhatsApp and we will reply with a fixed price before we set off.
How much is a house clearance in Slough?
A single room starts from £195, a one-bed flat from £395, a two-bed home from £595 and a full house from £850. We confirm a fixed price from photos, a video call or a visit.
Is Langley tip open?
No. Buckinghamshire Council closed Langley Household Recycling Centre on 9 September 2026 for drainage works and expects it to reopen before Easter 2027. Slough residents can use Burnham, which is open seven days a week for now, Beaconsfield, or Chalvey for car loads.
Will Chalvey tip take my sofa?
Not at the moment. Chalvey has temporarily stopped accepting upholstered seating such as sofas, armchairs and dining chairs because of persistent organic pollutants, and it is not taking textiles either. We collect sofas and armchairs from any room as part of a collection.
Is the council bulky collection cheaper?
Sometimes. Slough Borough Council charges £19 an item for up to five items, with a £54 minimum, so one to three items cost £54 to £57, collected from the kerb on the council’s date. If you have more than five items, things upstairs or a whole room to clear, a collection from us is usually simpler.
Do you need a parking permit or skip licence?
No. We park only while we load, so there is no skip permit and no bay suspension. If your street is permit-only, near the station or Chalvey, or on the A4, tell us when you book and we will plan the loading stop.
Which parts of Slough do you cover?
All of SL1, SL2 and SL3: the town centre, Chalvey, Cippenham, Upton, Britwell, Wexham, Langley, Colnbrook and Poyle, plus Farnham Royal and the Slough Trading Estate. We also cover Burnham, Iver, Stoke Poges, Farnham Common and Datchet nearby.

What the price includes — and what it doesn't
The most common complaint about clearance companies is a price that grows once the van is loaded. So here is the whole of ours, before you book, including the parts that cost extra.
Included in the price we quote
No line of this is billed separately afterwards.
- Labour — the crew, the carrying and the loading.
- The van, the fuel, ULEZ and the congestion charge — London charges are ours, not yours.
- Disposal and recycling of the load — the tipping cost is inside the price.
- Access from anywhere on the property — any room, up or down stairs, or out of the garden.
- VAT — the price you are shown is the price you pay.
- Waste transfer paperwork for your load, on request — so your duty of care is documented.
Priced separately, or not carried at all
Told to you up front, never discovered on the invoice.
- Upholstered seating and mattresses carry their own disposal fee, because the law forces them down a more expensive route than the rest of your load. The amount is on our pricing page before you book.
- Hazardous items — paint, chemicals, asbestos, tyres and gas bottles cannot travel in a general load and need a specialist route. We will tell you which one.
- Fridges, freezers and electricals have a separate WEEE route — flag them when you book so we arrive with the right van.
- Anything flammable, explosive, illegal, or alive — we cannot carry it, and we will say so before the day.
If there turns out to be more than we quoted for, you hear the new price before anything goes in the van — not once it is loaded, and not on the invoice. The same goes for access: tell us when you book if your street is permit-only or on a red route, or if the job is above the third floor with no lift, and we plan for it instead of pricing round it on the day.
What happens to your waste after we drive away
Most clearance companies stop this story at the word "recycled". Here is the actual route your load takes, including the part of it that nobody advertises.
It goes in by hand
Everything is carried out and loaded by the crew — from the room, the garden or the kerbside. What is in the load matters, because what is in it decides where it is legally allowed to go.
Sorted, not buried
The load goes to a licensed transfer station or recycling centre, where it is separated by material. It is not tipped straight into a hole in the ground.
Recovered by material
Metal, wood, cardboard, textiles and electricals are pulled out for recycling or recovery. Green waste is composted.
The bit nobody advertises
Upholstered furniture cannot be recycled at all. Since January 2023 the Environment Agency presumes every domestic sofa, armchair and padded dining chair contains persistent organic pollutants, so it must be kept apart from other waste and incinerated — never landfilled, never shredded for reuse. That law, not a markup, is why soft seating carries its own fee. Whatever is genuinely left after sorting goes to energy recovery.
- Metal
- Wood
- Cardboard & paper
- Textiles
- Electricals (WEEE)
- Green waste
We do not publish a recycling percentage. You will see "90% diverted from landfill" on a lot of clearance websites. The sorting happens at the transfer station, after our van has left, and we are not going to take credit for a figure we cannot evidence. What we can give you is the route your load takes and the paperwork for it — and if you want to check who handles it, ask us to identify the registered carrier for your collection and verify them on the Environment Agency public register before we load.
Proof, not adjectives
Anyone can type "trusted" and "reliable" onto a website. These are the things about us you can actually check.
We are a small London crew, not a national booking platform, and we are not going to pretend otherwise: we have 27 five-star reviews on Google and 3 on Yell. That is all of them. Every one is public, unedited and one tap away — which is worth rather more than a five-figure review count you have no way of reading.
