A note from our founder

Malik Arslan, founder and CEO of WasteMove
Malik ArslanFounder & CEO

Behind every collection is a person, and a place they care about.

When people call us, it's rarely just about rubbish. It might be a family clearing a parent's home, a couple making room for a new baby, or a small business finally getting its space back. We never forget that.

So my promise is simple. We turn up when we say we will. We agree the price before we start. And we treat your home or business the way we'd want ours treated: carefully, respectfully, and left tidier than we found it.

We also care about where your waste ends up. Every load is sorted at our yard so as much as possible is reused or recycled, and through our Ecologi subscription we support tree planting and climate projects every month.

If we ever fall short, I want to hear about it personally. Call us free on 0800 246 5558 or email me, and I'll put it right.

FAQs

Good questions.

Can't find your answer? Call free on 0800 246 5558 and we'll help.

What is WasteMove and what do you do?

WasteMove Ltd is a licensed rubbish removal and cleaning company based in Ilford, East London. We collect household, garden, builders' and commercial waste across London, Essex and Kent, sort every load at our own yard for reuse and recycling, and offer end of tenancy, deep and after-builders cleaning.

Are you a registered waste carrier?

Yes. WasteMove Ltd is registered with the Environment Agency as a waste carrier, licence number CBDU458774. You can check it on the public register. Using a registered carrier protects you, because householders can be fined if their waste is fly-tipped by an unlicensed collector.

What areas do you cover?

All 32 London boroughs and the City of London, plus Essex and Kent. Our base is in Ilford, so East London and Essex are especially quick for us to reach.

How much does rubbish removal cost?

It depends on how much there is and what it is. We price by the amount of van space your waste takes up, from a few items to a full van. Send a couple of photos in our chat and we will give you a fixed price before we start, with 10% off your first collection when you book online.

How do I book a collection?

Tap "Get a quote" to use our 60-second chat, call free on 0800 246 5558, or message us on WhatsApp on 07983 213 880. We agree the price and a time that suits you.

How soon can you collect?

Depending on your location and our schedule, we aim to collect at a time that is convenient for you. Call us to check the earliest slot.

What happens to my waste after collection?

Everything goes to our yard, where it is sorted into wood, metal, cardboard, plastic and green waste. Recyclable materials are sent for processing, and anything that cannot be recycled is disposed of responsibly.

Are you insured?

Yes. We are fully insured for every collection and clean, for homes and businesses.

Do you offer cleaning as well?

Yes. We offer end of tenancy, deep, after-builders and office cleaning, and a Clear + Clean service where we take the rubbish away and clean the property in one visit.
