Havering Council Bulky Waste vs Handy Rubbish

Havering Council provides a bulky waste collection service for residents to dispose of large household items that are too big for normal bins. This can be useful for a small number of simple items, but it has some important limitations:

  • The service is for household bulky items only, not business waste.
  • Collections are charged at a fixed fee per booking, typically for a limited number of items, with extra charges for additional pieces.
  • You must book in advance and provide a list of all items to be collected.
  • On collection day, items must be placed outside at the front of your property by a specified time. Crews do not come inside your home, garage or garden to move items.
  • There are restrictions on what can be collected – for example, they will not take DIY and renovation waste like rubble, soil and bricks, and they do not accept many hazardous items.

The council service works well if you have a few straightforward items you can move outside yourself and are happy to wait for your booked slot. It is not designed for full property clearances, mixed waste or urgent jobs.

Handy Rubbish is the flexible alternative when you need more:

  • We collect from inside your property, including flats, houses, lofts, garages, sheds and gardens.
  • We can remove mixed waste in one visit – household junk, furniture, white goods, garden waste, builders’ waste and electricals.
  • We handle everything from single items to full property clearances.
  • We offer same‑day and next‑day appointments, as well as scheduled visits for larger projects.
  • We provide a Waste Transfer Note for every job and are fully licensed and insured.

Eco‑Friendly Rubbish Removal in Romford

Handy Rubbish is committed to environmentally responsible waste management across London and Havering, including Romford. Around 97% of the waste we collect is recycled or recovered, with landfill used only as a last resort.

Our process:

  1. Collection & Sorting – We take your waste to licensed transfer stations where it is weighed and sorted by material type.
  2. Reuse – Items in good condition, such as furniture and appliances, are diverted to reuse partners or charities wherever possible.
  3. Recycling – Metals, wood, plastics, paper, cardboard, glass, soil and green waste are sent into specialist recycling streams.
  4. Energy Recovery – Non‑recyclable residual waste may be used for energy‑from‑waste instead of landfill.
  5. Landfill (Last Resort) – Only materials that cannot be reused, recycled or recovered go to landfill.

Every customer receives a Waste Transfer Note, confirming that your waste was collected and processed by a licensed carrier. This helps you meet your legal Duty of Care as a householder, landlord or business.

You can learn more about our approach on our mission and documents pages.
