Stamped with our carrier number. Copy kept for 2 years.

We load it, carry it and take it to permitted sites. Before we drive off you get a signed waste transfer note with our carrier number on it, so nothing comes back to you.

Ask for the carrier number. It starts CBDU in England. "Fully licensed" with no number is not enough.
Search the public register. Environment Agency register. The name and tier should match.
Get a transfer note. It says what was taken and where it went. If your waste is fly-tipped, it is your proof.
Six kinds of job. One kind of paperwork.
Every price below is a sample all-in figure including VAT, labour and disposal. Each card shows the List of Waste code that goes on your note, so you know how the load is classed.
House clearance
Whole homes, flats and probate clearances. We sort out what can be donated before anything goes to the transfer station.
Garage & loft
Boxes, old bikes, shelving and the things nobody remembers buying. Scrap metal is kept separate and recycled.
Garden waste
Hedge cuttings, branches and turf, bagged or loose. Green waste goes for composting, not landfill.
Single items
One sofa, a mattress or a fridge. Upholstered seats go to incineration, as the rules on POPs require.
Office clearance
Desks, chairs and old kit, out of hours if needed. We give your business a note with its SIC code on it.
End of tenancy
For landlords and letting agents. Key collection, photos of the empty rooms and the note emailed to you.
The price you see is the price you pay.
Prices are sized by how much of our 3.5-tonne Luton van your things fill. VAT, two people's labour and tip fees are already included. These are sample figures for this concept.
Incl. 20% VAT, labour and disposal. Fixed once we see a photo.
What can change it: only things you could not see in the photo, such as a second room of boxes. We tell you and agree a new price before loading. Parking fines and permits are on us.
Numbers we can show you the tickets for.
These are sample figures for January to September 2026. We publish them with the method underneath, and we never claim everything is recycled.
How we measure it
Every load is weighed in and out at the permitted transfer station, and the site's ticket is filed against your note number.
The transfer station reports what share of each mixed load it recycles. We use their monthly figure, not our own guess.
Donated items are counted when the charity signs for them. Items they cannot use come back into the weighed loads.

The law says your rubbish is your problem. Until it's ours.
Householders have a legal duty of care for their waste. If an unregistered "man with a van" dumps it, the council can trace it back and fine you. Here is who does what.
YOUThree things to do
- Check the carrier number on the public register before the van arrives.
- Tell us about anything unusual, such as paint, gas bottles or broken boards.
- Keep your copy of the transfer note. We email it too.
USEverything else
- Carry the waste ourselves as a registered upper-tier carrier.
- Take it only to permitted sites, and keep the site tickets.
- Write, sign and keep the transfer note for at least two years.
What we won't take, and who will
Asbestos
Never touched by us. Use a licensed asbestos contractor, or ask the council about small amounts.
Gas bottles
They can explode when crushed. Return them to the supplier; most take them back free.
Paint & chemicals
Liquid paint, oils and garden chemicals go to a household waste recycling centre.
Clinical waste
Sharps and medical waste go through your pharmacy or the council's clinical collection.
What Southampton says.
"Clearing Dad's bungalow was hard enough. They set aside his tools for the men's shed and emailed me the note the same evening."
"Sent a photo of the garage at 8am, had a price by 9 and the van at 2. The price was exactly the one quoted."
"As a letting agent I need the paperwork. Clearway's notes have the carrier number, codes and site on them every time."
Before you book.

Is it cheaper than a skip?
Often, for smaller jobs. A skip on the road needs a council permit and you do the loading. We load, sweep up and leave in about an hour. For a long building job a skip can work out cheaper, and we will say so.
What is a waste transfer note?
A short record of what waste changed hands, who took it, its code and where it is going. Both sides sign it and keep it for two years. It is your proof you used a registered carrier.
Why do sofas cost extra?
Upholstered seating can contain persistent organic pollutants (POPs). It has to be kept apart from other waste and sent for incineration, which costs the site more. We show that cost per seat, not hidden in the total.
Can you come today?
If you book before noon on a weekday, usually yes. Otherwise we offer two-hour arrival windows the next working day. This is a sample promise for this concept.
Do I need to be at home?
No. Leave items outside or a key with a neighbour. We send photos when we finish and the signed note by email.
Send it over. We'll clear it.
A photo gets you a fixed all-in price, usually within the hour, 7am to 6pm, Monday to Saturday.
