What rubbish removal covers in Manchester
Drivers in the Manchester area take household rubbish, old furniture, garden waste, appliances and small building waste. List what you have and where it is, and say if anything is heavy or needs dismantling.
- Furniture, mattresses and appliances
- Garden and green waste
- Loft, garage and shed clear-outs
- Small DIY and building waste
- Single bulky items or a full van load
Use a registered waste carrier
Anyone who takes your waste must be a registered waste carrier. Ask your driver for their waste carrier registration number and check it on the Environment Agency public register (or the equivalent in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland) before you hand anything over. The responsibility for where your waste ends up stays with you.
How much does rubbish removal cost in Manchester?

- Distance between the two addresses
- 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 Manchester: the homes

Across the Manchester council area, 37.2% of households are owner-occupied, 32.3% are privately rented and 29.5% are socially rented (Census 2021). 39.0% of households have no car or van, which is worth knowing when you plan where the van will stop.
