Pick the items and bags that are going, see the price as you go and pay online. Leave them out the front or somewhere easy to reach and our crew loads them; carrying out from inside is £72 an hour. One £60 base fee per visit, then each item at its collection rate. The prices below are for the item on its own. We collect on our Tuesday and Thursday rounds, booked by 4pm the working day before.
A truck by the load, where a skip won't go
Wait and load is the truck by the load at a set price. You pre-pay for the space, our driver brings the truck and helps, and you supply the help and do the loading within the waiting time for the size you book. Booked mostly by builders and businesses with nowhere to park a skip, and by homes with awkward access.
About 25 to 30 bin bags, or the waste from a small bathroom strip-out.
About the same as a 6-yard skip, without a skip sitting on the road.
Builders' waste after a refit, a shop strip-out or a big flat clear-out.
The whole truck: site clear-ups, office strip-outs, large garden and shed jobs.
Sizes are a guide. Run over on the day and you can buy more space or time online on the spot. How wait and load works →
Skips from £279, delivered from the next working day
Nine sizes, delivery and collection included. Going on the road? Enquire online and we sort the permit.
Local, licensed, and we turn up
Actually local
We're in Wickford, not a call centre. Most of Essex is under 30 minutes from the yard, which is how same-day works.
Properly licensed
Upper-tier waste carrier CB/DU308513, £10m public liability, and a waste transfer note for every job, or a hazardous waste consignment note where the law needs one. Fly-tipped waste gets traced back to you; ours never will.
Honest prices
Fixed online when you book, or a free estimate for clearances, based on what you tell us and your photos. If a job turns out different on the day, we agree any change with you before we start. Nothing extra is charged on the day unless you've agreed it first.
Before we came, after we left

“Would highly recommend this company for wait and load service . I Cleared my loft so had a fair bit of rubbish . Prompt reply to my initial inquiry and quote given ..did change on the day to being cheaper price as not as much as it looked in photos , so very happy with their honesty and professionalism . Driver was friendly polite and helpful and kept me updated on arrival time. Will definitely be using this company again for any clearance of rubbish and household items in the future . Thank you LM Waste Management Ltd”
“We used the company to clear my late father’s garden which was heavily overgrown with sheds full of rubbish collected over 30 years in the house (hoarding). The garden was inaccessible and difficult to get into. During a heatwave Levi and his team cleared the garden back to basic as we requested which required significant work. From first contact we received professional responses and an initial timescale of availability. We then had a site visit and a further discussion on how long it would take and the cost being clear about what was involved in the costs but also confirming how the waste would be disposed of. They ensured the parking area and communal paths were cleaned following the work. We would highly recommend the company.”
“Super service! Really responsive and clear, and came the same day with no extra charge. Not only the best quote, but also the easiest to correspond with, and totally professional and super speedy when at my home. Saving the number as I would use again, and recommend to friends and family.”
“Great friendly service from LM waste. They used a small iveco truck with hiab to remove 4 x 1 tonne bulk bags of soil and rubble from outside my house. The access road is unmade, narrow and unsuitable for the usual large skip/ grab lorry. I will be using them again. Thanks very much.”
“Excellent service from start to finish. Really good communication and prompt and efficient sofa removal. I can't recommend them highly enough. The website and booking service was super easy too.”
“We had garage clearance plus fridge freezer and large sofa. The guys turned up they were very professional, polite and efficient. In no time they were done. Definitely would recommend this company.”

Questions people ask
How do you price a job?
Three ways. A few items: build a collection from the item list and our crew loads it. One £60 base fee covers the crew and van, then each item is charged at its collection rate, so a mattress is £35, a sofa £65 and a bin bag £5. Loading it yourself: book wait and load by the truck load and load it with our driver's help; a quarter load is £180 and a full truck £540. A clearance (a house, flat, garage, garden or office, or a big pile of rubbish): send a few answers and a photo and we send you a free estimate, usually the same working day. Online prices and estimates both include VAT. The price you book online is the price you pay, and anything extra on the day is agreed with you first. An estimate is based on what you tell us and your photos; if the job turns out different on the day, we agree any change with you before we start.
Who does the loading?
It depends which you book. On an item collection our crew loads it: leave it out the front or somewhere easy to reach, or add carrying out from inside at £72 an hour. On wait and load our driver brings the truck and helps, but you supply the help and do the loading, and the truck waits up to 15 minutes for a quarter load, 30 for a half load, 45 for a three-quarter load and 60 for a full load.
What if I have more than I booked on wait and load?
You choose the size and pre-pay for that space. The sizes shown are a guide only: we can't see your waste, so we can't be responsible if the size you pick turns out too small. The driver tells you when you've reached the space or the waiting time you paid for, and more of either is charged as an extra that you can pay for online on the spot. Extra space is £54 per cubic yard and extra waiting time £30 per 15 minutes. Buy more space or time.
Is there a base fee?
On item collections, £60 once per visit gets the crew and van to you; every item is then charged at its collection rate. The list price of an item is simply its rate plus that fee, so a mattress on its own is £95 and a second mattress in the same booking is £35. Wait and load, skips, skip bags and the grab lorry are set prices with no base fee.
Which days can I book?
Bookings are for Monday to Friday, except bank holidays. Item collections run on our Tuesday and Thursday rounds, booked by 4pm the working day before.
When do I pay?
Payment is taken by card when we confirm your booking, by phone or a secure payment link. Trade accounts are invoiced monthly on 14-day terms once agreed in writing.
What if I need to cancel a one-off booking?
Free cancellation up to 4pm the working day before. After that a £42 call-out (£35 + VAT) is charged, or the price of your booking if that is less, and if you've already paid we refund the rest. For a skip, once the lorry has left to deliver it, the wasted journey fee is £60 (£50 + VAT) instead of the call-out. Booked as a private person, not a business? You can also cancel within 14 days after the day you book. If you didn't ask us to come within those 14 days, cancelling inside them is free. If you did ask us, cancelling before 4pm the working day before is still free. After that we have started work on your job, so you pay the late cancellation charge above, and once the job is done you can't cancel it. Our terms say how, with a form you can use.
Are you licensed?
Yes. LM Waste Management Ltd holds Environment Agency upper-tier waste carrier licence CB/DU308513, carries £10m public liability insurance and issues a waste transfer note for every job, or a hazardous waste consignment note where the law needs one.
What can't you take?
Asbestos, clinical waste, loose chemicals and fuels. The exception is waste oil and contaminated fuel, which our oil waste service collects with a hazardous waste consignment note. Gas bottles: yes, we can take them. They're dealt with separately and priced by type, so tell us and we'll quote. Paint tins and fluorescent tubes are fine if you tell us in advance. Fridges and freezers are fine; they're priced separately because they have to be degassed, and those from a business come with a hazardous waste consignment note.
