How to book a licensed house clearance in 6 steps
Post your job at /quote with your postcode, the load size and photos of every room.
Licensed carriers send written quotes. JunkBid checks every Upper Tier licence against the Environment Agency register before a carrier can quote.
Compare the prices and ask each carrier to confirm that VAT is included.
Check the carrier yourself: search their registration number on the Environment Agency public register and confirm it is Upper Tier, current and under the same business name.
Accept a quote and pay the 10% deposit through JunkBid. You then receive the carrier's contact details, and the balance goes directly to the carrier.
On the day, ask for a waste transfer note naming the carrier's registration number, the date, your address and what was taken. Keep it for at least two years.
Council collection or private clearance?
Liverpool City Council's free bulky item collection takes up to five bulky items, left outside your home. The council states that the service is not for house clearances, and it does not collect from landlord or To Let properties or business premises. For a full property, a loft or a garage, book a licensed private carrier.
Your legal duty when you hire a clearance company
Section 34 of the Environmental Protection Act 1990 requires you to pass your waste only to an authorised carrier. A company that collects other people's waste needs an Upper Tier Waste Carrier Licence from the Environment Agency. If an unlicensed carrier you hired fly-tips your waste, you can face a fixed penalty of up to £600 for breaching your duty of care. Fly-tipping itself carries an on-the-spot fine of up to £1,000, and an unlimited fine if the case goes to court.
Clearing a property after a death
The property may qualify for Class F Council Tax exemption from the date of death until probate is granted, plus up to 6 months afterwards. It is not automatic: apply to Liverpool City Council.
Red flags when you hire a clearance company
- No waste carrier registration number on the quote, the advert or the van, or a refusal to give it when you ask
- A registration number that is missing from the Environment Agency register or listed under a different business name
- Lower Tier registration only, for a business that collects other people's waste
- Cash only, with no business name, no receipt and no waste transfer note
- A price far below the other quotes for the same load, or a price that rises once your items are on the van
