Unsightly piles of waste, overflowing bins, and illegally dumped fly tip incidents can quickly detract from the appearance and safety of any property or public space. At Ams Enviro, based right here in Wigan, we understand the frustration and potential hazards associated with unwanted waste. Our professional rubbish removal and fly tip clearance services are designed to provide a fast, efficient, and environmentally responsible solution to these common waste challenges, helping you reclaim your space and ensuring proper disposal.

This comprehensive guide will walk you through our meticulous process, demonstrating how we handle everything from general household junk to large-scale fly tip clear-ups, always prioritising safety, compliance, and our commitment to sustainable waste management.

What is Rubbish Removal?

Rubbish removal encompasses the collection and disposal of a wide variety of non-hazardous waste materials from residential, commercial, and industrial properties. It’s a versatile service used for:

• Household Junk Removal: Clearing out old furniture, appliances, electronics (WEEE), garden waste, builder's waste from DIY projects, and general clutter that doesn't fit into regular bins.
• Commercial Waste Clearance: Removing office clear-out waste, retail shop fitting debris, packaging, and general commercial refuse.
• Garden Clearance: Disposing of branches, leaves, soil, old sheds, and other garden waste.
• Builder's Waste Clearance: Efficiently removing rubble, plasterboard, wood, metal, and other construction debris from small to medium-sized projects.
• Garage & Shed Clear-outs: Getting rid of accumulated junk from storage spaces.

Essentially, if you have unwanted items that you can't or don't want to dispose of yourself, our rubbish removal service is the ideal solution. We handle the heavy lifting, loading, and responsible disposal, saving you time and effort.

What is Fly Tip Clearance?

Fly tipping is the illegal dumping of waste on public or private land, ranging from a single bag of household rubbish to large quantities of construction debris, hazardous materials, and even vehicles. It’s a serious environmental crime that poses significant risks:

• Environmental Pollution: Contaminating soil and water, harming wildlife.
• Health Hazards: Attracting pests, sharp objects, and potentially hazardous substances.
• Eyesore: Deteriorating the aesthetics of an area, attracting further dumping.
• Costly Cleanup: Leaving landowners or local authorities to bear the expense and effort of removal.

Our fly tip clearance service is a rapid response solution dedicated to safely and legally removing illegally dumped waste. We work with:

• Local Authorities & Councils: Assisting in the cleanup of public spaces, parks, and roadsides.
• Private Landowners: Helping clear waste from fields, car parks, industrial estates, and other private properties.
• Businesses: Removing dumped waste from their premises.

Given the unpredictable nature and potential hazards of fly tip incidents, our service prioritises swift assessment and safe, compliant removal.

Our Comprehensive Rubbish Removal & Fly Tip Clearance Process

Our systematic approach ensures that whether you need a routine rubbish removal or an urgent fly tip clear-up, the process is efficient, safe, and environmentally sound.

Step 1: Initial Enquiry & Assessment

The process begins when you contact us. You can call us, email, or fill out our online enquiry form. We'll ask you a series of questions to understand the scope of the work:

• Type of Waste: What kind of items need to be removed? (e.g., furniture, electronics, green waste, general junk, building materials).
• Volume: How much waste is there? (e.g., a few items, a van load, multiple van loads, a large fly tip). Pictures are incredibly helpful at this stage for an accurate assessment.
• Location & Access: Where is the waste located? Are there any access restrictions for our vehicles or team? (e.g., stairs, narrow alleys, gated properties).
• Urgency: Is this a routine collection or an urgent fly tip that needs immediate attention?

For simple rubbish removal jobs, we can often provide an instant quote over the phone. For larger, more complex, or potentially hazardous fly tip incidents, we will arrange a free, no-obligation site visit to conduct a thorough assessment. This allows us to:

• Accurately gauge the volume and weight of waste.
• Identify any hazardous materials (e.g., asbestos, chemicals, sharps) that require specialist handling and disposal.
• Assess access challenges and determine the appropriate vehicles and equipment needed.
• Provide a precise, fixed-price quote with no hidden fees, ensuring complete transparency.

Step 2: Tailored Quotation & Booking

Following the assessment, we will provide a detailed quotation. This quote will clearly outline the costs, the estimated timeframe for completion, and what the service includes. We are committed to competitive and fair pricing. Once you approve the quote, we will work with you to schedule a convenient date and time for the rubbish removal or fly tip clearance. We offer flexible scheduling, including rapid response for urgent fly tip cases, to minimise disruption.

Step 3: The Clearance Day – Safe & Efficient Operations

On the agreed date, our professional, uniformed, and fully insured team will arrive punctually with the appropriate vehicles and equipment. Our team members are highly experienced, trained in safe lifting techniques, and equipped to handle all types of waste.

• Arrival & Site Briefing: For fly tip clearances, our team leader will first conduct a thorough risk assessment of the site to identify any immediate hazards before starting work. For general rubbish removal, we'll confirm the items to be cleared.
• Safe Handling & Segregation: We meticulously sort the waste on-site, separating materials for different disposal streams. This is crucial for maximising recycling. Our team will carefully load all items into our vehicles. For heavy or bulky items like fridges, sofas, or large pieces of building rubble, we handle all the lifting and carrying.
• Specialist Fly Tip Protocols: When dealing with fly tip incidents, our team wears appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) – including gloves, safety footwear, and sometimes respiratory protection – especially if there's a risk of sharps, biohazards, or hazardous chemicals. We use specialist tools for safe collection and containment of dangerous items.
• Post-Clearance Sweep-Up: Once all the waste has been loaded, our team will conduct a thorough sweep-up of the cleared area, leaving the space clean and tidy. Our aim is to leave the site better than we found it.

Step 4: Responsible Disposal & Environmental Stewardship

This stage is central to our mission as a responsible waste management company. We are dedicated to diverting as much waste as possible from landfill.

• Maximising Recycling: All collected waste is transported to licensed waste transfer stations. Here, it undergoes further rigorous sorting and processing. We strive for high recycling rates across a wide range of materials, including:
  • Metals: Steel, aluminium, copper.
  • Plastics: Various types of plastics.
  • Wood: Timber, chipboard, pallets.
  • Paper & Cardboard:
  • WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment): TVs, computers, white goods.
  • Rubble & Aggregates: Concrete, bricks, tiles.
  • Green Waste: Garden clippings, soil.
• Reuse & Donation Partnerships: Where possible, items in good condition (e.g., furniture, certain appliances) are identified for reuse and passed on to local charities or community projects, extending their lifespan and benefiting others.
• Ethical Disposal of Non-Recyclables: For the small percentage of waste that cannot be reused or recycled, we ensure its responsible and compliant disposal. This typically involves processing at energy-from-waste facilities, which generate electricity, or, as a last resort, secure, licensed landfill sites, always adhering to stringent environmental regulations.
• Hazardous Waste Management: Any hazardous materials identified during fly tip clearance or rubbish removal (e.g., certain chemicals, paints, asbestos where identified and safely handled) are transported and disposed of via specialised, licensed facilities, ensuring full legal compliance and safety.
• Full Documentation: As a fully licensed waste carrier, we provide all necessary waste transfer notes and duty of care documentation, giving you complete assurance that your waste has been handled legally and responsibly.

Step 5: Final Check & Customer Satisfaction

After the clearance is complete and the area swept, our team leader will conduct a final check to ensure the work meets our high standards and your expectations. Your satisfaction is our top priority. We are always available for any follow-up questions or further waste management needs.
