Why Alpha

Waste removal shouldn't feel risky

Fly-tipping is your legal risk

If a cheap operator dumps your waste, the homeowner is the one who gets fined. We remove that risk entirely.

The correct licence, everywhere

Every Alpha region holds the right waste carrier licence — SEPA in Scotland, NRW in Wales, the EA in England.

Fully Insured as standard

Full public liability insurance on every job, in every region — never an optional extra.

Fixed pricing, agreed up front

You get a firm quote before we lift a thing. No weighbridge surprises, no add-ons at the door.

“

We started Alpha because we were tired of the industry's reputation. Every job we do is licensed, insured, and properly disposed of. It shouldn't be remarkable — but it is.

What customers across the UK say

4.9 stars from 800+ reviews

"Cleared my late mother's flat with real care. They set aside everything worth donating and sent the waste transfer note the same afternoon."

Eleanor M.

"Cleared a barn and two outbuildings on the farm in a single morning. Polite, properly licensed, and they recycled far more than I expected."

Gareth W.

Llandeilo, Carmarthenshire · 1 month ago

"Builders left a mountain of offcuts and plasterboard in our new-build garden. Alpha had it gone by lunchtime and swept the drive after."

Common questions

Questions before you book

How quickly can you collect?

We hold same-day slots in every city we serve. Call before early afternoon and we can usually have a crew with you the same day. Otherwise we'll book the next available slot — often the next morning.

How much does it cost?

Pricing is by volume and agreed as a fixed quote before we start. A single item starts around £60, a half load around £150, and a full load around £220. Larger house clearances are quoted individually — with no weighbridge surprises.

What can you take, and what can't you?

We take almost anything that won't fit in your bin: furniture, appliances, garden and builders' waste, office and tenancy clearances. We can't take hazardous materials such as asbestos, chemicals, gas bottles or clinical waste — but we'll always point you to a licensed specialist.

Do I need to be there?

Not necessarily. As long as our crew can safely access the waste and we've agreed the job and payment in advance, you don't have to be on site. Many landlords and agents simply leave us to it.

Are you really licensed?

Yes. Every Alpha region holds the correct waste carrier licence — SEPA in Scotland, Natural Resources Wales in Wales, and the Environment Agency in England. We carry full public liability insurance and provide a waste transfer note on request.

What happens to my waste?

Every load is sorted at a licensed transfer station. Reusable furniture goes to local charities and reuse centres, metals and electricals are recycled, and only genuinely unrecyclable waste reaches landfill — currently under 18% of what we collect.
