You probably don’t give waste removal much thought – until you have a lot of waste to get rid of. Then it becomes inconvenient and, in some cases, urgent. Junk Removal professionals can save you trouble, time, and money.
But you might be wondering if these professional services are costly. And if they are, is it worth the expense? We’ll break down the costs of hiring a professional rubbish removal company, as well as give our top 3 reasons you should work with professionals for your next waste collection project.
Costs of Professional Junk Removal
Bidvine quotes the national average for rubbish removal in the UK as a range between £70 – £160. This number can vary considerably, however, depending on the junk you need haul away.
In addition, hiring a skip may not save you money in the long run. An 8-yard skip could cost you between £200 – £250 for a week’s rental. Junk removal companies may charge higher prices to haul away the same amount of rubbish, but it won’t take them a week to collect it and they’ll know how to sort the junk properly.
How much you pay for waste collection services depends on how a company charges. It could be by the hour, by the tonne, or by both.
Removal by Amount
Many companies will charge for waste removal services by weight, usually in tonnes. Typically, a fully-loaded truck can hold the same amount as 2 skips. You may not need that much space, so smaller options are available. If you need more space, often the company might have to make trips.
Removal by Type of Rubbish
If you have hazardous materials like large appliances, many professionals might charge extra to take these away. They’ll require special disposal, at greater expense to the company. So they pass that expense on in their pricing.
Removal by Time Spent
Some junk removal services will factor labor into their pricing. You might have a smaller number of items to take away, but if they’re difficult to get to – on a second or third floor, for example – it could take the workers longer to clear it away. So, consider how difficult it’ll be to remove your junk before calling a professional and asking for an estimate.
Now that we’ve explained factors that go into pricing, let’s look at why you should hire professionals to clear away your waste.
Environmentally Friendly
Waste in the UK and in Birmingham continues to grow. While the amount of waste hauled off to landfills has decreased somewhat, they’re still the number-two solution for Britain’s rubbish. This poses a severe environmental threat, as waste can have devastating ecological impacts.
All rubbish removal companies believe that rubbish removal should help the environment, not hurt it. That’s why we commit to recycling 80% of all waste collection. When you hire a professional junk removal service, you can do your part to help protect the planet – without having to sort the recyclable materials yourself.
Value Safety
In addition to caring for the environment, professional rubbish removal services value your safety. In a big house or office clearance, you could be dealing with potentially hazardous junk. Old appliances, computer equipment, and other similar items can be an inconvenience to dispose of properly. If they aren’t taken care of, it could be dangerous for you, your neighbors, and the community at large.
If you’re producing hazardous waste, either at home or the office, you have a responsibility to dispose of it the right way. These materials include asbestos, chemicals like brake fluid, batteries, solvents, pesticides, oils like car oil, appliances with ozone-depleting zones, and containers for hazardous waste. When not disposed of properly, these materials put human health and safety at risk, as well as the environment.
Save Time
Finally, professional rubbish removal can save you time. Cleaning out and sorting through all of your waste takes time. It can also be a big inconvenience if you don’t know how to sort everything properly. Fortunately, experts in junk removal can efficiently sort and haul junk away for you. We pride ourselves on our minimal interference in your daily life – we come in, do our job, and take the junk away in under two hours.
Final Thoughts
When you break down the costs of hiring professional junk removal companies, it becomes clear – the expense is worth it. Not only does it save you time and inconvenience, but it’s also better for the environment and your personal safety. So for your next waste collection project, consider calling a specialist – you’ll be glad you did.
