How to book a licensed rubbish removal on the Wirral in 6 steps
Check what your council offers first. Look up Wirral Council's bulky waste collection and read the current items, price and dates. For a garage, a loft or a full house, go private.
Post your job at /quote with your postcode, the load size and photos of every pile.
Licensed carriers send written quotes. JunkBid checks every Upper Tier licence against the Environment Agency register before a carrier can quote.
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 carrier?
Your council may offer a bulky waste collection. Check the current items, price and collection dates on Wirral Council's website before you book. For a garage, a loft or a full house, a licensed private carrier is usually the practical route.
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.
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
