London rubbish removal advice, pricing help and practical guides from Rubbish Taxi.
Construction projects generate a lot of waste — fast. Whether it's a kitchen renovation, a loft conversion or a full house rebuild, you'll need the rubble, timber, plasterboard and packaging cleared regularly to keep the site safe and the project moving.
Construction waste covers a wide range of materials:
Construction waste varies wildly in weight. A van full of plasterboard offcuts is far lighter than the same space filled with concrete rubble. Most rubbish removal companies charge a flat "per van load" rate, which means you could overpay for a light load or underpay for something extremely heavy (and they'll add surprise charges).
At Rubbish Taxi, our trucks have digital scales fitted beneath the frame. You pay for the exact weight we collect — fair, transparent, no arguments. Learn more about pay-by-weight vs van load pricing.
Our vehicles hold up to 12.35 m³ — roughly double the capacity of a standard Transit van. That means fewer collections, less downtime on site, and better value per trip. For heavy waste like rubble, we can carry up to 2 tonnes per collection.

We operate a wait-and-load model, which means we come to you, you load the truck (or we help), and we take it away immediately. No skip permits, no waiting days for collection, no blocked driveways. It's faster and often cheaper than hiring a skip — read our comparison of wait-and-load vs skip hire.
As a licensed waste carrier, we ensure all construction waste goes to authorised recycling and disposal facilities. We provide duty-of-care documentation so builders and contractors stay compliant.
