Single Item Collection in Manchester
Sofa, fridge, mattress, washing machine — one item, one fixed price, gone the same day.
Price my itemSingle item collection with Load & Clear means you pick your item online, get a fixed price on the spot, and a licensed, insured crew carries it out from anywhere in the property — no dragging it to the kerb. Most items across Greater Manchester are collected the same day, with a waste transfer note included.
How much does single item collection cost?
As market guidance, single item collections typically run £35–£80 across Greater Manchester, depending on the item and the access — a bagged mattress by the front door is at the bottom of that range, an American fridge-freezer down three flights is at the top. For your exact fixed price, use the instant quote: pick the item, see the price, book the slot.
Compare that with a council bulky collection: often a 1–2 week wait, and you haul the item to the kerb yourself. We come to the item, wherever it is, usually today.
Got two or three items, or a proper pile? Rubbish removal is usually better value than pricing items one by one.
What items do you collect?
If one or two people can carry it, we collect it. The usual suspects:
- Sofas, armchairs, and sofa beds
- Mattresses and bed frames
- Fridges, freezers, washing machines, and cookers
- Wardrobes, tables, and chests of drawers
- TVs and other electricals (WEEE)
- Odd stuff — gym gear, bathtubs, garden benches. If in doubt, ask
Everything is collected by a licensed waste carrier, fully insured, and reuse comes first — good furniture goes to reuse partners before recycling. We cover the whole of Greater Manchester, from Didsbury to Wigan.
Fridges, freezers, and TVs are fine — they go to licensed WEEE recycling and come with a waste transfer note. What we can't take on a standard run is hazardous: gas bottles, drums of chemicals, and wet paint. If you're unsure whether an item counts, ask on the contact page before you book.

Single item collection FAQs
Can you take fridges and freezers?
Yes. Fridges and freezers need degassing and specialist recycling, which is why plenty of firms dodge them — we don’t. Ours go to licensed WEEE recycling facilities, and you get a waste transfer note as proof. Just tell us it is a fridge when you book so the crew comes prepared.
Do I need to be home for the collection?
Not necessarily. If the item is accessible — in a front garden, garage, or hallway a neighbour can open up — we can collect without you there. We send a photo once it is loaded so you know it is gone. For items inside the property, someone just needs to let us in.
Can you collect from an upstairs flat?
Yes. Our crews carry items down from flats, lofts, and cellars every day — that is the job. Mention the floor and whether there is a lift when you price it up, so the quote is right first time and the crew brings enough hands for the stairs.
What happens to mattresses and sofas you collect?
Reuse first, then recycling. Sofas and mattresses in good nick go to reuse partners; the rest are broken down for recycling at licensed facilities rather than dumped in landfill. Every collection is carried out by a licensed waste carrier and documented with a waste transfer note.
How quickly can you collect a single item?
Often the same day. Single items are quick jobs, so they slot easily into our routes across Greater Manchester — book in the morning and it is usually gone by evening. You get a 2-hour arrival window either way, so you are not stuck waiting in all day for one sofa.
Can you collect a gas cooker or other gas appliance?
Yes, once it is safely disconnected. A gas cooker or hob needs disconnecting from the supply by a competent person before it is moved — we can lift and take away a cooker that is already capped off and pulled out. If it is still connected, arrange the disconnection first, then book us for the collection.
Is single item collection cheaper than a council bulky collection?
It depends on what you value. Councils across Greater Manchester charge roughly £27–£54 for a small bulky collection, but you usually wait one to two weeks and have to drag the item to the kerb yourself. We come to the item wherever it sits, often the same day, and do all the lifting — you are paying for speed and convenience, not a cheaper bin day.
Where should I leave the item, and what about parking?
Wherever it is easiest for you — the crew collects from inside the property, not just the kerb. If parking is tight, a nearby loading spot is usually fine; just mention it when you book. For anything hazardous, or if you are not sure an item is safe to move, ask us first through the contact page.
