Services
Rubbish Clearance
We provide comprehensive rubbish clearance for homes, offices, and construction sites. Our small access trucks handle mixed waste, rubble, and garden debris, ensuring efficient removal. All collected waste is processed at our licensed transfer station to maximise recycling and reduce landfill use.
Skip Hire
Our skip hire service offers sizes from 3-yard mini skips to 40-yard roll-on roll-off containers. We arrange permits if required and guarantee a 7-day hire period. Waste is transported to our facility for responsible sorting and recycling, supporting sustainable disposal practices.
Recycled Aggregates
We produce 100% recycled aggregates from construction waste, including Type 1, dust, and clean stone. These materials are ideal for building projects, patios, and paving. Delivered loose or bagged, they offer a cost-effective, eco-friendly alternative to quarried products.
Garden Products
Our garden products include screened topsoil, compost, and mulch for domestic and trade use. Topsoil is processed to remove debris, while compost enriches soil nutrients. All products are sustainably sourced and available for bulk delivery or in dumpy bags.
Waste Transfer
Our Warmley waste transfer station accepts drop-offs for responsible disposal. Customers can tip waste after weighing, with materials sorted for reuse and recycling. The facility supports our goal to divert 100% of waste from landfill through partnerships with local recycling businesses.

Tom. You and moustache man are an absolute disgrace. Accusations, threats, following someone, saying you'll find their car, follow them home, accusing them of having child pornography and photographing children you supposedly have on site. Being aggressive, nearly ready to fight. Trying to run someone off public property because you don't like them taking a photo of heavy machinery. You are a denthead.
This place deserves to go under and you deserve nothing Tom. And wear appropriate work clothing just because your the boss doesn't mean you can walk around an active site topless. There's still professional and safety standards at play. You are the worst kind of person there is. Who the hell do you think you are. And what's the point in pretending your an Irish traveller? Think that makes you tough.
You not comfortable presenting yourself as your own self? What an absolute joke. Get off the steroids because that would explain the anger issue's, get a grip on reality, get back in line, learn your place. You two just destroyed yourselves

Efficient and pragmatic service from Tom's. They were able to come out quite quickly provide a quote and remove on the same day. A huge thank you to Josh and Lee. They were absolute superstars. Could not have asked for two more polite and hard working men. The job was messy, heavy and relentless. We really appreciated their good humour and hard work.

Brilliant service - First time to use Toms for a garden/garage clearance. I will definitely use again. Price to take a large skip bag away was much cheaper then a skip and was collected on time leaving no mess!

We used Toms yesterday to clear a huge mountain of rubbish from our garden. From the initial telephone conversation to the guys sweeping up after themselves it was an excellent experience. I called the office, Tom came to take a look the same day, we agreed a great price (definitely cheaper than using skips) and the office called later that day to confirm a date and time for the work. On Saturday morning they arrived on time as agreed, 4 nice blokes, very friendly, polite and had a laugh with the kids.
They cleared perhaps 3-4 skipfuls of rubbish in about 45 minutes then swept up, and were gone. Just what I wanted. Thanks, would definitely recommend, and will use again for any future jobs. Big thumbs up, great company to deal with. Thanks!

I had a huge pile of garden rubbish that had accumulated over the years and a dilapidated shed that needed taking down and clearing out. Tom and his team of 5 came and had it all cleared in no time. They were friendly, efficient, hard working and professional and I would have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone. Thank you Tom and your team, you were amazing. 10/10 from this client.

Great service, friendly and helpful guys delivered the skip. I wasn't home when skip collected but they had also removed extra recyclable rubbish that didn't fit in the 3yard skip for me. Would definitely recommend.

Like a previous reviewer we used Toms Rubbish Clearance as the price was good. We have had 3 skips and everything was excellent until it came to collecting the last skip. We have had this skip since the middle of JUNE! This skip is blocking our driveway and several phone calls have resulted in it being marked as 'urgent' but without it actually being collected. This is not acceptable. I'm sure if we would have wanted it an extra 6 weeks we would have been charged.

Very disappointing as had expected great service based on other reviews. We planned on clearing our garden on Saturday so order a skip for Friday. After a couple of calls and promises on the Friday our skip never arrived. Called again on Sat and promised it would be out immediately as a priority. Saturday afternoon still nothing and impossible to contact anyone. Eventually turned up Saturday evening wasting a whole day of our weekend.
