Questions people ask

How do I store waste oil until you collect?

In a sealed, labelled container on a bunded surface or drip tray, away from drains. We can leave a drum or IBC for you.

Do I need a hazardous waste consignment note?

Yes, for engine oil, coolant and contaminated fuel. We produce it and you keep your copy for three years. Cooking oil isn't hazardous but still gets a transfer note.

Do you pay for used cooking oil?

Clean, uncontaminated cooking oil in volume can be collected free and sometimes paid for, because it's refined into biodiesel. Ask when you book.

How does the free estimate work?

Tap a few answers about the job and add a photo or two. We come back with an estimate, usually the same working day, by call, text, WhatsApp or email, whichever you choose. Nobody needs to visit for most jobs and there's no obligation. The estimate is based on what you tell us and your photos. If the job turns out different on the day, such as more waste or harder access than described, we agree any change with you before we start.

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.

“The team turned up as on time promised and were amazingly swift and thorough. I couldn’t believe how fast and hard they worked!! They removed a huge amount of rubbish in record time and left the space spotless. Will definitely be using again in the future.”

“LM Waste management cleared my Mum’s garage which was full to bursting with all kinds of trash accumulated over decades. They turned up when they said they would, worked fast and efficiently, separated out the stuff she wanted to keep, filled a huge skip with the rest, cleaned up after themselves and put the good stuff neatly back on the well- swept floor of the empty garage. And came back for the broom when they saw they’d missed some sand that had fallen on the driveway. Great job. Very happy to recommend them.”
