Fully insured clearance teams on Durham doorsteps
Durham
Few things are more frustrating than rubbish that will not leave, which is why so many people book Apollo for waste collection Durham wide. We take mixed household rubbish, garden waste, bulky furniture, commercial waste and builders’ waste from anywhere in Durham and the rest of County Durham. Prices are fixed before loading, around 95% of what we collect is recycled or recovered at licensed transfer stations, and your waste transfer note is included as standard. The smallest load, a Mini Load, is from £65.
Every city has its own mix of streets and buildings, and Durham is no exception. A top floor flat with no lift is a different job from a bungalow with a drive, and a skip on a narrow street needs a council permit that a van does not. With crews in Durham and the rest of County Durham throughout the week, we can quote accurately and arrive when we say we will.

Skip or man and van for Durham properties: the facts
A skip is the default choice for many in Durham, but it is not always the right one. With a skip, you lose the drive or a stretch of road for days, may need a council permit, and do every bit of lifting yourself. With our man and van service, the crew arrives in the agreed window, does all the loading and sweeping, and you pay only for the space used.
For one bulky item or a small clear out, a collection beats a skip on speed and often on price. Trades rely on our construction waste disposal Durham service to clear rubble and plasterboard between stages, with no skip on the drive. For a long project generating waste over several weeks, a skip can be the better choice, and we will be honest about it.

Why Apollo
Real waste removal takes more than a van and a strong back. Here is what you can expect from Apollo in Durham. There is nothing extra to arrange for your Durham collection.
Apollo is an Environment Agency registered upper tier waste carrier. Our details are on the public register for you to check. It is part of every booking we take in Durham.
No hourly charges, no weight fees and no surprises. Your agreed price is the price you pay. It makes clearing a Durham property far easier.
We are regulars in the area. We plan around parking, access and timing so the job runs smoothly. That is what Durham customers tell us they value most.
Licensed transfer stations sort every load. Reusable items are reused and materials are separated for recovery. It is one reason Durham keeps recommending us.
Just point at what is going. Our two person crews carry from any floor and load the van. We are happy to talk it through for your Durham job.
Across Durham, same day slots are available when we have space. The price is fixed before we load. We keep it simple for Durham customers.
Fly tipping is a well known problem across County Durham, and councils do prosecute. Many do not know that if dumped waste is traced back to your home, you can be issued a fixed penalty of up to £600 even though you were not the one who dumped it. It is the difference between cheap rubbish removal Durham wide that backfires and low prices done properly. Apollo hands you a waste transfer note on every collection, giving you waste disposal Durham customers can prove and a duty of care that is met.

That goes for every address in Durham.
