The responsibility for where your waste ends up stays with you.
How much does rubbish removal cost in Cardiff?

- Volume and weight of what you are moving
- One or two people, and any packing
- Stairs, lifts and where the van can park
- Day and time of the move
Moving around Cardiff: the homes
In the 2021 Census the most common home type in the Cardiff council area was semi-detached houses (29.7% of households), so drivers there are used to that kind of access. Tell them about stairs, narrow hallways and parking so they can plan the job.

Across the Cardiff council area, 58.0% of households are owner-occupied, 24.3% are privately rented and 17.2% are socially rented (Census 2021). 26.0% of households have no car or van, which is worth knowing when you plan where the van will stop.
