Can the council service be compared with a private quote?
Yes. Compare the actual loading work, accepted items and terms, not just whether both are called waste removal.
A Hartlepool clearance quote should specify the items and how they will reach the vehicle. A few pieces already outside are a different task from moving furniture down stairs or emptying a garage.
